Edit: I just read your Gathering Storm review, so I suppose they do think you like it 

And what I like/dislike about their books matters little, as long as there is some coverage some of the time, I suppose. But I do have a good working relationship with their publicists and we often have chatted in the past about some pretty odd things in the occasional emails.
As for the TGS review, I honest felt then (and do now) that the best qualities of Sanderson's prose merged well with the few good aspects of what RJ was writing to create something better than what either was producing before. Curious to see if WoK is better for Sanderson having that experience, but I can be patient in my readings. After all, I do have at least 25 more reviews to write this month alone

Does Tor think you like WoT, or do they just send you all their releases that early?
