While reading WOT I would often say to myself something to the likes of "would he get to the point already", or "would he pick a direction". Looking back, so much of the character of WOT came from the style and pace of the writing that the story would seem 'less' if it had been written any other way. It just would not have been as interesting. The chapter needed a subtlety that just wasn't there. A little bit of ambiguity would have went a long way.
All good things come to those who wait.

This is not RJ's writing. (No Spoilers) Cannoli - 05/09/2009 03:46:26 AM 1642 Views
How long is it? I kinda wanna read it now, but I'm at work, so I'm not sure if I have time. *NM* Brian - 05/09/2009 03:55:02 AM 295 Views
Bah, so am I. 4.5 pages on Microsoft Word. Single space, no margin, Arial font, size 9. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:02:13 AM 597 Views
Yeah, it was actually a fairly quick read..no trouble at all reading it at work. *NM* Brian - 05/09/2009 05:00:17 AM 325 Views
It isn't supposed to be. Great Lord of Chaos - 05/09/2009 04:08:46 AM 724 Views
Jason claimed it was hard to tell them apart. *NM* Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:10:13 AM 323 Views
I take anything from that source with a pinch of salt *NM* Sidious - 05/09/2009 03:41:49 PM 281 Views
I noticed that too. Kronin al'Sulc - 05/09/2009 04:11:22 AM 581 Views

Absolutely not. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:18:51 AM 1062 Views
Re: Absolutely not. bdev_03 - 05/09/2009 04:25:16 AM 851 Views
That's what I meant by absolutely not. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:31:26 AM 797 Views
Could it be rough draft that Sanderson kept, and Jordan never polished? *NM* Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:14:59 AM 375 Views
I doubt it Brian - 05/09/2009 05:17:09 AM 859 Views
Definitely Sanderson AliasRY - 05/09/2009 05:27:57 AM 861 Views
Really? DomA - 05/09/2009 08:55:37 AM 871 Views
I agree with DomA *NM* Haggard - 05/09/2009 08:26:17 PM 369 Views

I could tell it wasn't Jordan, but I liked what I read. Rurouni_Kenshin - 05/09/2009 04:27:44 AM 568 Views
I liked it too...new WoT material finally! *NM* Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:16:34 AM 273 Views
It bugged me at first. Gher - 05/09/2009 04:32:27 AM 643 Views
Yeah, I just finished reading it....and it was pretty obvious that it wasn't RJ Brian - 05/09/2009 04:55:30 AM 670 Views
I think Sanderson had to come up with the wind scene Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:17:58 AM 675 Views

agreed. I liked it, but Deadsy - 05/09/2009 05:13:18 AM 677 Views
Anyone want to guess which part can be a foreshadowing? redhand - 05/09/2009 05:34:07 AM 649 Views
No surprise. Brandon was one of us when RJ stll lived *NM* Voscaia Sedai - 08/09/2009 04:27:14 PM 277 Views

I've been saying that for years. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 08:55:19 AM 730 Views
Whatever. I thought it was an improvement. Haggard - 05/09/2009 08:45:37 PM 651 Views
Agree fully. Art and paiting have rarely even been mentioned! It feels like a fan's writing... fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 09:59:15 AM 747 Views
Are you pre-ordering the book? AliasRY - 05/09/2009 10:48:44 AM 641 Views
I live in the U.S. now... fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 02:59:40 PM 633 Views
I hope so, because I won't able to wait for it. *NM* AliasRY - 05/09/2009 04:45:01 PM 292 Views
I preordered it from Bookdepository.com for 15$ AgentOrange - 05/09/2009 04:47:07 PM 541 Views
I checked, they don't ship to India. *NM* AliasRY - 05/09/2009 04:50:34 PM 302 Views
Yes, I agree. It feels cold because it is an alien presence. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/09/2009 02:31:45 PM 564 Views
It sounds better via the audio Isaac - 05/09/2009 03:07:37 PM 688 Views
Re: It sounds better via the audio RandAllThor - 05/09/2009 03:41:27 PM 576 Views
No. It was never meant to be, it never could be and Sanderson never pretended otherwise. Werthead - 05/09/2009 07:40:37 PM 770 Views
Exactly. Haggard - 05/09/2009 08:50:08 PM 593 Views
According to him... Werthead - 05/09/2009 09:14:44 PM 606 Views
It sounds more like Anderson than Jordan Cannoli - 05/09/2009 11:11:58 PM 870 Views

I didn't read any of Anderson's books Deadsy - 06/09/2009 12:17:54 PM 612 Views
Funniest thing ever posted on RAFO.com. Ever. *NM* Cannoli - 07/09/2009 03:49:24 AM 407 Views
In it's week long history. Ever. EVER *NM* Sidious - 07/09/2009 08:12:44 AM 210 Views
It wasn't Jordan... Rand al'Thor - 07/09/2009 04:36:11 AM 571 Views
It isn't but I thought BS said he wasn't trying to be exactly like RJ RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/09/2009 08:12:24 PM 635 Views
The difference was a bit staggering scalius - 08/09/2009 08:23:15 PM 594 Views
