yeah MalkierKnight Send a noteboard - 24/03/2011 10:02:38 AM
But I'm guessing the majority of complainers are still going to buy it and read it as soon as it comes out, yes?

If you're upset, then don't support him. Everything else is just whiny bitching.


im guessing youre also one of the people that thinks if you dont like the laws in this country then you should move?

theres nothing wrong with expressing distaste that an author is taking 6 damn years to write a book and 5 years for the previous one. as an author you have an obligation to the fans to provide good work in a somewhat timely manner. of course no good and thoughtful fan would want an author to compromise the work in the name of brevity, but, as i said, 6 years is the mark of laziness.
You must unlearn what you have learned.

Well, you're spending time on it right now. *NM* Variant - 25/03/2011 03:35:10 AM 722 Views

And can we try to strive for accuracy in what we are saying? Thanks. Werthead - 25/03/2011 08:24:51 AM 1462 Views

Are you seriously that naive? MalkierKnight - 25/03/2011 01:07:39 PM 1592 Views

Was it really? Which one was this? *NM* rebelaessedai - 25/03/2011 03:40:58 AM 784 Views
ToM. Still was better than what Jordan was writing, though. Ghavrel - 25/03/2011 06:21:49 AM 1196 Views
