I found it...interesting --spoilers-- NaClH2O Send a noteboard - 06/09/2009 01:33:11 AM
I was wondering how BS in the wotverse would read. Now I know. Not like the BS of Mistborn or Elantris but not RJ either. Since I was hoping that he wouldn't try to mimic RJ this is a plus, but for me, his style will take some getting used to. Some things surprised me, Rand knew of Ituralde's successes on the Almoth Plain, so much of what one 'goodie' does is completely unknown to all but "a small circle of friends'. The introduction of a maybe mystery (if it's not explained in the prologue) is, I think, a big Sanderson wink to RJ. Didn't expect that kind of humor. I found Rand's comment about Egwene surprising. This is the man who a few weeks (days? timeline is not clear) earlier sent Merise and Narisima to the SAS saying that they could bond Ashaman. It seems disconnected that he would now believe that Egwene would now try to capture and gentle him. Especially the "another notch to her belt" bit. What other 'notches' does he think she has? I do have to remember that Rand is crazy, and crazy people do and say illogical things. It is also readily apparent that he has shut himself down emotionally to the point of true psychosis, I have the feeling that Rand will be a very scary person to be around.

For all of those whining about it not sounding like RJ: Narg - 05/09/2009 05:47:07 PM 1884 Views
Agreed. If anything, it's a tribute to RJ Gher - 05/09/2009 06:17:36 PM 1732 Views

And if he were to off Egwene? What would your opinion be? *NM* Ryan - 07/09/2009 05:38:36 AM 920 Views
He dislikes Sanderson's prose. Plot content is irrelevant here. *NM* Marshall - 08/09/2009 06:44:42 PM 1022 Views
Who cares? That would have been RJs decision anyway. Cannoli - 09/09/2009 06:15:16 AM 1495 Views
