Exhausted zodiac2000 Send a noteboard - 27/02/2017 10:52:51 PM

I must admit finishing WOT was a major stage in my life, because I'd really grown up with the series, fallen in love with the characters and became immersed in the story.

Finishing it was...emotionally draining. I was sad and happy that it was over. There were big aspects of the books that were disapointing, characters I'd hoped would live, and others that I had hoped would die better deaths. Story lines that were simply unfulfilling (looking at Moiraine's return there), or that were frustratingly repetitive (Perrin chasing slayer for what felt like the hundredth time).

Despite that, I didn't hate it.

Maybe some people are just meant to be in the same story.

How did you feel after completing AMoL? - Anonymous2000 - 24/02/2017 04:03:10 AM 2264 Views
Unsatisfied I suppose or perhaps regretful darius_sedai - 24/02/2017 02:54:12 PM 1881 Views
I'll post this again Tom - 25/02/2017 01:29:16 AM 1357 Views
Very good post, can't argue with it. Anonymous2000 - 25/02/2017 02:40:18 AM 1614 Views
I can argue with some of it Joel - 25/02/2017 09:32:17 PM 1571 Views
You can say whatever you want, but you're wrong Tom - 25/02/2017 10:40:58 PM 1475 Views
We are not discussing concrete facts, so objective error is impossible Joel - 26/02/2017 01:21:46 AM 1662 Views
In any discussion, error is possible. In your discussions, it's a near certainty. Tom - 28/02/2017 08:24:59 PM 1464 Views
On a different topic, how important do you think that stuff is? Cannoli - 03/03/2017 07:20:15 AM 1594 Views
It's all about suspending disbelief, isn't it? Tom - 04/03/2017 01:13:12 AM 1565 Views
That makes a lot of sense. Cannoli - 08/03/2017 10:18:56 PM 1572 Views
On further reflection, I think the religion element being left out is important. Tom - 04/03/2017 04:07:53 AM 1512 Views
Middle-Earth? Cannoli - 08/03/2017 09:53:45 PM 1653 Views
A Elbereth Gilthoniel... Tom - 10/03/2017 04:48:50 PM 1502 Views
Morning Star is actually a title of Mary, and the name of a summer camp run by nuns. Cannoli - 25/03/2017 09:59:31 PM 1417 Views
Tolkien would also be familiar with Isaiah 14:12 Tom - 27/03/2017 05:09:49 PM 1331 Views
Personally, "religion" in WoT makes perfect sense... For the AoL. Not so much the Third Age Dunstan - 09/03/2017 01:55:29 AM 1519 Views
But did they really undeniably prove this existence? darius_sedai - 09/03/2017 04:19:43 PM 1891 Views

I think we are saying similar things darius_sedai - 12/03/2017 08:31:13 PM 1749 Views
Some points Cannoli - 25/02/2017 11:54:50 PM 1493 Views
Well, some THINGS anyway. Joel - 26/02/2017 01:56:29 AM 1524 Views
Your recognition of irony is profound Cannoli - 26/02/2017 08:39:47 AM 1463 Views
Not great, but better; what all went to Hell after ACoS, Sanderson at least returned to Purgatory Joel - 25/02/2017 03:39:58 PM 1533 Views
MAYBE in the pacing, but that is it. Sanderson got absolutely nothing else right beyond the events *NM* Cannoli - 25/02/2017 11:59:06 PM 1033 Views

Total agree about Moiraine's return..... Anonymous2000 - 28/02/2017 03:57:57 AM 1481 Views
With Demandred... That was likely at least somewhat the point. Dunstan - 28/02/2017 06:09:13 AM 1361 Views
Not best pleased. nossy - 27/02/2017 11:59:06 PM 1457 Views

I still haven't read it. Stephen - 01/03/2017 08:03:53 PM 1470 Views
Interesting, any reason why you haven't read it yet? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 01/03/2017 10:26:21 PM 816 Views
It was the end of their world as I knew it, and I felt fine. *NM* Cannoli - 02/03/2017 11:13:25 PM 878 Views
You were just happy that you-know-who died! *NM* Anonymous2000 - 03/03/2017 02:47:38 AM 849 Views
Disappointed, shocked, relieved. The Shrike - 03/03/2017 04:44:56 PM 1393 Views
Curious - what were you hoping to happen to Rand at the end? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 03/03/2017 09:00:12 PM 876 Views
Me too! Delireus - 04/03/2017 10:19:21 AM 1318 Views
Guess I'm in the minority, because I felt quite satisfied, all things considered. PseudoDragon - 03/03/2017 06:13:27 PM 1262 Views
I cried and I was glad it was over! kazetaran - 04/03/2017 09:13:03 PM 1560 Views
The Fouth Age is quite a fun little sandbox. Full of possibilities. *NM* *NM* Dunstan - 05/03/2017 07:11:30 AM 833 Views
there's just SO MUCH that could happen Delireus - 05/03/2017 09:33:26 AM 1507 Views
