I would love the see him review Goodkind... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 16/04/2010 11:51:07 PM
I think he's wearing down. No commentaries to make now, since I have to get ready soon to leave for a 7 hour trip.


A nonexistent book where Mat rescues Rand and Egwene becomes the Grand Panjandrum.

I think Roberts is entering fanfic territory, now. :P


I think the series might be addling his mind. Poor guy }<img class=' />


If this series is so bad for him, what will he say about our friendly neighborhood literary genius who doesn't write fantasy? Will he wish for the days when nothing happened in books he read?
