Point taken. Despite not being the target audience, I'd still like to take a look at it. StormCrow Send a noteboard - 09/12/2009 10:04:38 PM
It's published by Middlesex University Press, so its audience is more that of those who read critical studies and not those who read multi-volume fantasies almost exclusively


I'd have to wait for it to come state side. I'm not THAT interested in seeing it that I'd import accross all that water.

Farah Mendlesohn and Edward James on RJ, Goodkind, and Martin Larry - 07/12/2009 02:48:45 AM 1550 Views
Pretty sure Nynaeve did not have red hair. Also pretty sure she wasn't a priestess. Ghavrel - 07/12/2009 02:54:23 AM 849 Views
I think it was a tongue-in-cheek reference to an archetype, but yes, there are some errors here Larry - 07/12/2009 02:56:00 AM 635 Views
Wow! I was completely wrong about Goodkind. Gher - 07/12/2009 04:36:28 AM 696 Views

I suppose it all depends on what the purpose of their book is. Legolas - 07/12/2009 10:04:48 AM 635 Views
Overall, a valid assessment. Tom - 07/12/2009 02:07:47 PM 667 Views
Nynaeve doesn't have red hair! She has brown hair! Ghavrel - 07/12/2009 09:29:07 PM 666 Views
She's not a priestess, either. Other than "red-haired priestess" the rest was 100% valid. Tom - 08/12/2009 12:39:07 AM 659 Views
I mentioned her not being a priestess in my earlier post. Ghavrel - 09/12/2009 03:23:12 AM 637 Views
Don't you think that, if that were corrected, the entries would be pretty much valid? Tom - 09/12/2009 09:12:55 PM 619 Views
Of course I do. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/01/2010 07:25:31 PM 288 Views
She's a priestess archetype, though. *NM* Ouranid - 09/12/2009 09:43:50 PM 269 Views
Why wasn't I informed about the chipmunks? Werthead - 07/12/2009 11:56:51 PM 668 Views
But... it's the sweetest scene ever. StormCrow - 08/12/2009 07:40:51 PM 666 Views
Agree for the most part. When does the book officially come out? StormCrow - 08/12/2009 07:51:39 PM 771 Views
Book's been out since the summer, in the UK anyways Larry - 09/12/2009 02:33:05 AM 635 Views
So their tone *is* out of place, then? Legolas - 09/12/2009 10:52:12 AM 622 Views
Point taken. Despite not being the target audience, I'd still like to take a look at it. StormCrow - 09/12/2009 10:04:38 PM 607 Views
Erikson is like Martin? That's ridiculous! fionwe1987 - 09/12/2009 01:43:18 AM 853 Views
Influenced isn't the same as 'like'. Jacob - 21/12/2009 06:04:53 PM 658 Views
So, you're right because you're right? fionwe1987 - 28/12/2009 03:25:33 AM 668 Views
Only because I'm willing to be honest even about things that I enjoy. *NM* Jacob - 07/01/2010 06:00:02 PM 255 Views
What rot... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 09:54:13 PM 682 Views
I think fionwe has a point - it's not some kind of literature/non-literature divide. Legolas - 08/01/2010 08:37:31 PM 578 Views
Actually, aSoIaF has one of the more accurate depictions of feudalism in modern fantasy. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/01/2010 07:33:22 PM 265 Views
I agree, but that wasn't the point... fionwe1987 - 09/01/2010 03:11:16 AM 618 Views
Nah... randfandom - 12/12/2009 08:05:49 AM 697 Views
