Whatever. I thought it was an improvement. Haggard Send a noteboard - 05/09/2009 08:45:37 PM
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.


It still had too much description. Therefore you have been proven wrong.

The good news is that we got another 6500 words of WoT with nothing happening.

This is not RJ's writing. (No Spoilers) Cannoli - 05/09/2009 03:46:26 AM 1712 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 323 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 672 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 354 Views
It isn't supposed to be. Great Lord of Chaos - 05/09/2009 04:08:46 AM 798 Views
Jason claimed it was hard to tell them apart. *NM* Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:10:13 AM 349 Views
I take anything from that source with a pinch of salt *NM* Sidious - 05/09/2009 03:41:49 PM 309 Views

Re: Absolutely not. bdev_03 - 05/09/2009 04:25:16 AM 909 Views
That's what I meant by absolutely not. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:31:26 AM 837 Views
Could it be rough draft that Sanderson kept, and Jordan never polished? *NM* Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:14:59 AM 403 Views
I doubt it Brian - 05/09/2009 05:17:09 AM 936 Views
Definitely Sanderson AliasRY - 05/09/2009 05:27:57 AM 931 Views
Really? DomA - 05/09/2009 08:55:37 AM 948 Views

I could tell it wasn't Jordan, but I liked what I read. Rurouni_Kenshin - 05/09/2009 04:27:44 AM 642 Views
I liked it too...new WoT material finally! *NM* Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:16:34 AM 288 Views
It bugged me at first. Gher - 05/09/2009 04:32:27 AM 705 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 716 Views
I think Sanderson had to come up with the wind scene Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:17:58 AM 715 Views

Anyone want to guess which part can be a foreshadowing? redhand - 05/09/2009 05:34:07 AM 722 Views

I've been saying that for years. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 08:55:19 AM 803 Views
Whatever. I thought it was an improvement. Haggard - 05/09/2009 08:45:37 PM 718 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 820 Views
Are you pre-ordering the book? AliasRY - 05/09/2009 10:48:44 AM 712 Views
I live in the U.S. now... fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 02:59:40 PM 706 Views
I hope so, because I won't able to wait for it. *NM* AliasRY - 05/09/2009 04:45:01 PM 315 Views
I preordered it from Bookdepository.com for 15$ AgentOrange - 05/09/2009 04:47:07 PM 610 Views
I checked, they don't ship to India. *NM* AliasRY - 05/09/2009 04:50:34 PM 325 Views
Yes, I agree. It feels cold because it is an alien presence. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/09/2009 02:31:45 PM 626 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 845 Views
Exactly. Haggard - 05/09/2009 08:50:08 PM 659 Views
According to him... Werthead - 05/09/2009 09:14:44 PM 674 Views
It sounds more like Anderson than Jordan Cannoli - 05/09/2009 11:11:58 PM 917 Views

It wasn't Jordan... Rand al'Thor - 07/09/2009 04:36:11 AM 620 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 713 Views
