It just feels wrong. Sorry. Maybe he gets better as the book goes on, but this is not the same. It's not bad, and it does not detract from the story, but it does not feel the same. I don't think it's going to matter. I still enjoyed reading the chapter, and I have every intention of reading the book the day it comes out, with not one less ounce of anticipation. But it is not RJ's writing, for those of you to whom such things matter.
I listend to the audio, Micheal Kramer reads all the male POV's in all of the books and I usually listen rather than re-read, so it sounded right to me, because he was doing it.

Could it be rough draft that Sanderson kept, and Jordan never polished? *NM*

Agree fully. Art and paiting have rarely even been mentioned! It feels like a fan's writing...

No. It was never meant to be, it never could be and Sanderson never pretended otherwise.
