It isn't but I thought BS said he wasn't trying to be exactly like RJ RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 08/09/2009 08:12:24 PM
That being said, I find certain parts of his writing straight forward in contrast to RJ in certain places - the characters seem a bit more sensitive. I'm not sure if this was RJ's progression or if his notes are more objective than the final product.

Did anyone else notice that Rand thinks of Nynaeve as an Aes Sedai? I'm not sure if he ever thought of her that way in any of the POVs RJ wrote (another new project - yay!). Very accurate and brief description of her personality to: "The dark-haired Aes Sedai had never quite given up being Wisdom of Emond's Field...she gave no quarter to anyone she thought was abusing one under her protection. Unless...Nynaeve herself was the one doing thea busing." That was so accurate and brief that it definitely didn't have the same feel of RJ's more emotive style that tended to build descriptions and movement into each scene.

And I did like BS handling of the dialogue. I was surprised that Nynaeve was on Cadsuane's side in that particular argument, though. And I also notice that his madness seemed to grow worse as he begins to think of Nynaeve and Egwene as Aes Sedai, and Min as a tool to be used - he's growing so far from reality that he doesn't know his friends anymore and is growing more familiar with the personality quirks of the Forsaken.

Also interesting was his comment about Egwene's reaction to having the prisoner turned over to her was exactly the same thing as BS answered in a recent Q&A.

This is not RJ's writing. (No Spoilers) - 05/09/2009 03:46:26 AM 1637 Views
It isn't supposed to be. - 05/09/2009 04:08:46 AM 720 Views
Jason claimed it was hard to tell them apart. *NM* - 05/09/2009 04:10:13 AM 322 Views
I take anything from that source with a pinch of salt *NM* - 05/09/2009 03:41:49 PM 279 Views

That's what I meant by absolutely not. - 05/09/2009 04:31:26 AM 793 Views
Could it be rough draft that Sanderson kept, and Jordan never polished? *NM* - 05/09/2009 05:14:59 AM 373 Views
I doubt it - 05/09/2009 05:17:09 AM 854 Views
Definitely Sanderson - 05/09/2009 05:27:57 AM 855 Views
Really? - 05/09/2009 08:55:37 AM 867 Views

I've been saying that for years. - 05/09/2009 08:55:19 AM 724 Views
Whatever. I thought it was an improvement. - 05/09/2009 08:45:37 PM 646 Views
Agree fully. Art and paiting have rarely even been mentioned! It feels like a fan's writing... - 05/09/2009 09:59:15 AM 741 Views
Are you pre-ordering the book? - 05/09/2009 10:48:44 AM 634 Views

No. It was never meant to be, it never could be and Sanderson never pretended otherwise. - 05/09/2009 07:40:37 PM 762 Views
Exactly. - 05/09/2009 08:50:08 PM 589 Views
