Regarding medicine, or some sort of medical treatment that didn't belong, either. I can't remember exactly where it was, but I remember it being jarring.

I remember that sticking out. I get that the idea is that this society is more scientifically and medically advanced. But that just doesn't come out consistently, especially with the kind of weaponry we see. Barring sharplate/blades, other weaponry is incredibly medieval for a world that understands principles of gravity and know enough to differentiate types of epilepsy.

His biggest weakness is definitely the colloquialisms, no doubt. - 10/03/2014 08:38:19 PM 738 Views
Without actually having read any of his non-WoT books, I'd argue it's probably a deliberate choice. - 10/03/2014 09:02:06 PM 762 Views
