Especially all of the chapters leading up to Rand's introduction. I really had no idea what to expect, but I nearly had to stop reading after the first 5-7 paragraphs just to let my mind take it in. My brain is screaming "that's not RJ" while my emotions are screaming "but it's WOT dammit".
I have a feeling that it will be very obvious which parts are significantly/soley BS and which RJ. I guess that will have to be OK.
As it is, I liked what I read once it got going, and I'm very happy that the story will be told.
Most of all (and I've said this before), I'm beyond happy that RJ was the one who completed the ending (and apparently a rather large part of it) of this story. I would take the ending in BS's prose just to have it, but it would never have felt right. That RJ completed it is gold IMO.

I would slave, to pave the way, to sink your ship of fools.
This is not RJ's writing. (No Spoilers)

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.
