Disappointed, shocked, relieved. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 03/03/2017 04:44:56 PM

View original post
After completing WoT, how did you feel? Happy, sad, relieved, angry, disappointed, satisfied.....combo of many things?

My first reaction was relieved, it's finally over and I know the end. I also had some disappointment that RJ wasn't the one to complete it, but I know that he wrote the final scene, so that was comforting.


It didn't end everything as completely as it should have. The Seanchan situation for instance. Also never saw the Seanchan Ogier meet the Randland Ogier. That was disappointing. Sanderson gave us more male POVs but didn't do as good a job as he should have ultimately with the true ending.

Yes, Rand has a new body and seems to be able to access some sort of new power. But was that enough really?

Ah well.

Unsatisfied I suppose or perhaps regretful darius_sedai - 24/02/2017 02:54:12 PM 1592 Views
I'll post this again Tom - 25/02/2017 01:29:16 AM 1131 Views
Very good post, can't argue with it. Anonymous2000 - 25/02/2017 02:40:18 AM 1362 Views
I can argue with some of it Joel - 25/02/2017 09:32:17 PM 1285 Views
You can say whatever you want, but you're wrong Tom - 25/02/2017 10:40:58 PM 1222 Views
We are not discussing concrete facts, so objective error is impossible Joel - 26/02/2017 01:21:46 AM 1363 Views
In any discussion, error is possible. In your discussions, it's a near certainty. Tom - 28/02/2017 08:24:59 PM 1192 Views
On a different topic, how important do you think that stuff is? Cannoli - 03/03/2017 07:20:15 AM 1318 Views
It's all about suspending disbelief, isn't it? Tom - 04/03/2017 01:13:12 AM 1273 Views
That makes a lot of sense. Cannoli - 08/03/2017 10:18:56 PM 1277 Views
On further reflection, I think the religion element being left out is important. Tom - 04/03/2017 04:07:53 AM 1223 Views
Middle-Earth? Cannoli - 08/03/2017 09:53:45 PM 1389 Views
A Elbereth Gilthoniel... Tom - 10/03/2017 04:48:50 PM 1221 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 1162 Views
Tolkien would also be familiar with Isaiah 14:12 Tom - 27/03/2017 05:09:49 PM 1108 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 1272 Views
But did they really undeniably prove this existence? darius_sedai - 09/03/2017 04:19:43 PM 1592 Views

I think we are saying similar things darius_sedai - 12/03/2017 08:31:13 PM 1475 Views
Some points Cannoli - 25/02/2017 11:54:50 PM 1254 Views
Well, some THINGS anyway. Joel - 26/02/2017 01:56:29 AM 1233 Views
Your recognition of irony is profound Cannoli - 26/02/2017 08:39:47 AM 1216 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 1226 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 904 Views

With Demandred... That was likely at least somewhat the point. Dunstan - 28/02/2017 06:09:13 AM 1129 Views

I still haven't read it. Stephen - 01/03/2017 08:03:53 PM 1177 Views
Interesting, any reason why you haven't read it yet? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 01/03/2017 10:26:21 PM 684 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 749 Views

Me too! Delireus - 04/03/2017 10:19:21 AM 1081 Views
Guess I'm in the minority, because I felt quite satisfied, all things considered. PseudoDragon - 03/03/2017 06:13:27 PM 1013 Views

The Fouth Age is quite a fun little sandbox. Full of possibilities. *NM* *NM* Dunstan - 05/03/2017 07:11:30 AM 697 Views
there's just SO MUCH that could happen Delireus - 05/03/2017 09:33:26 AM 1248 Views
