Re: RJ didn't pick anyone. He tried to finish it before he died. DomA Send a noteboard - 25/03/2011 09:31:53 PM
Brandon was picked by Harriet after he wrote a eulogy on his website and she read one of his books


Yup, making his wishes clear (that he would like AMOL to be finished if he died before doing so himself) and enthrusting the final decisions to Harriet and his friend Tom (which he did during one of Doherty's last visits - during a stay at Mayo, IRRC) without imposing the task on them was as far as he was willing to go. It must have been painful and depressing enough to deal with that without having to look for young writers who could possibly finish WOT in his place.

Erikson's books are fantastic, but the characterization could not be more different than WoT's. lord-of-shadow - 24/03/2011 03:54:11 PM 1136 Views

Well there is a reason Jordan chose Sanderson to finish the series for him random thoughts - 24/03/2011 06:29:06 PM 1113 Views
Harriet's last name isn't Jordan so I'm assuming you mean Michael Jordan Deadsy - 24/03/2011 09:06:20 PM 1172 Views

I enjoyed the book but I don't think his prose were as good as Jordan's random thoughts - 25/03/2011 07:05:02 PM 1030 Views

Name of the Wind, and its recent sequel Wise Man's Fear are really, really good. beetnemesis - 25/03/2011 04:49:51 PM 1076 Views
Are the Dresden books really that good? Darth_Katie - 25/03/2011 08:14:37 PM 1024 Views
They're a fun read. It's a nice break from epic stuff Dark Knight - 25/03/2011 09:22:36 PM 1039 Views
Honestly, they kind of remind me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, if Giles was the main character. beetnemesis - 29/03/2011 06:18:44 PM 978 Views
Hmm ... Giles was my favorite part of Buffy. Darth_Katie - 29/03/2011 07:41:21 PM 961 Views
I was really disappointed by WMF, reminded me A LOT of Crossroads of Twilight *NM* NaClH2O - 06/04/2011 09:30:17 PM 537 Views
I feel the same about Wot as you, and Robin Hobb is a great recommendation! MonCul - 26/03/2011 12:22:09 AM 1121 Views

Excellent! That's how I found both her and Robin Hobb. MonCul - 02/04/2011 12:14:43 AM 1028 Views
