I've been saying that for years. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 05/09/2009 08:55:19 AM
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.


I NEVER had a complaint with the style or pace. I have been saying for YEARS on the WoTMB to anyone who complained about the decriptions and mannerisms and whatnot that it would not be same without that stuff. I have been proven right.

This is not RJ's writing. (No Spoilers) Cannoli - 05/09/2009 03:46:26 AM 1715 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 324 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 675 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 355 Views
It isn't supposed to be. Great Lord of Chaos - 05/09/2009 04:08:46 AM 799 Views
Jason claimed it was hard to tell them apart. *NM* Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:10:13 AM 350 Views
I take anything from that source with a pinch of salt *NM* Sidious - 05/09/2009 03:41:49 PM 310 Views

Absolutely not. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:18:51 AM 1138 Views
Re: Absolutely not. bdev_03 - 05/09/2009 04:25:16 AM 912 Views
That's what I meant by absolutely not. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:31:26 AM 840 Views
Could it be rough draft that Sanderson kept, and Jordan never polished? *NM* Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:14:59 AM 404 Views
I doubt it Brian - 05/09/2009 05:17:09 AM 939 Views
Definitely Sanderson AliasRY - 05/09/2009 05:27:57 AM 933 Views
Really? DomA - 05/09/2009 08:55:37 AM 949 Views

I could tell it wasn't Jordan, but I liked what I read. Rurouni_Kenshin - 05/09/2009 04:27:44 AM 645 Views
I liked it too...new WoT material finally! *NM* Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:16:34 AM 289 Views
It bugged me at first. Gher - 05/09/2009 04:32:27 AM 707 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 719 Views
I think Sanderson had to come up with the wind scene Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:17:58 AM 721 Views

agreed. I liked it, but Deadsy - 05/09/2009 05:13:18 AM 752 Views
Anyone want to guess which part can be a foreshadowing? redhand - 05/09/2009 05:34:07 AM 725 Views
No surprise. Brandon was one of us when RJ stll lived *NM* Voscaia Sedai - 08/09/2009 04:27:14 PM 303 Views

Becareful of what you wish for Knightscape - 05/09/2009 08:29:52 AM 746 Views
I've been saying that for years. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 08:55:19 AM 805 Views
Whatever. I thought it was an improvement. Haggard - 05/09/2009 08:45:37 PM 721 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 821 Views
Are you pre-ordering the book? AliasRY - 05/09/2009 10:48:44 AM 713 Views
I live in the U.S. now... fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 02:59:40 PM 708 Views
I hope so, because I won't able to wait for it. *NM* AliasRY - 05/09/2009 04:45:01 PM 316 Views
I preordered it from Bookdepository.com for 15$ AgentOrange - 05/09/2009 04:47:07 PM 611 Views
I checked, they don't ship to India. *NM* AliasRY - 05/09/2009 04:50:34 PM 329 Views
Yes, I agree. It feels cold because it is an alien presence. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/09/2009 02:31:45 PM 629 Views

Re: It sounds better via the audio RandAllThor - 05/09/2009 03:41:27 PM 665 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 847 Views
Exactly. Haggard - 05/09/2009 08:50:08 PM 661 Views
According to him... Werthead - 05/09/2009 09:14:44 PM 675 Views
It sounds more like Anderson than Jordan Cannoli - 05/09/2009 11:11:58 PM 918 Views

Funniest thing ever posted on RAFO.com. Ever. *NM* Cannoli - 07/09/2009 03:49:24 AM 434 Views
In it's week long history. Ever. EVER *NM* Sidious - 07/09/2009 08:12:44 AM 243 Views
It wasn't Jordan... Rand al'Thor - 07/09/2009 04:36:11 AM 621 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 715 Views
The difference was a bit staggering scalius - 08/09/2009 08:23:15 PM 683 Views
