The difference was a bit staggering scalius Send a noteboard - 08/09/2009 08:23:15 PM
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) - 05/09/2009 03:46:26 AM 1639 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 280 Views
I noticed that too. - 05/09/2009 04:11:22 AM 576 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 855 Views
Definitely Sanderson - 05/09/2009 05:27:57 AM 855 Views
Really? - 05/09/2009 08:55:37 AM 868 Views
I agree with DomA *NM* - 05/09/2009 08:26:17 PM 368 Views

I could tell it wasn't Jordan, but I liked what I read. - 05/09/2009 04:27:44 AM 564 Views
I liked it too...new WoT material finally! *NM* - 05/09/2009 05:16:34 AM 272 Views
It bugged me at first. - 05/09/2009 04:32:27 AM 640 Views
agreed. I liked it, but - 05/09/2009 05:13:18 AM 674 Views
Anyone want to guess which part can be a foreshadowing? - 05/09/2009 05:34:07 AM 644 Views
No surprise. Brandon was one of us when RJ stll lived *NM* - 08/09/2009 04:27:14 PM 275 Views

I've been saying that for years. - 05/09/2009 08:55:19 AM 725 Views
Whatever. I thought it was an improvement. - 05/09/2009 08:45:37 PM 647 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 743 Views
Are you pre-ordering the book? - 05/09/2009 10:48:44 AM 635 Views
I live in the U.S. now... - 05/09/2009 02:59:40 PM 631 Views
I hope so, because I won't able to wait for it. *NM* - 05/09/2009 04:45:01 PM 291 Views
I preordered it from Bookdepository.com for 15$ - 05/09/2009 04:47:07 PM 536 Views
I checked, they don't ship to India. *NM* - 05/09/2009 04:50:34 PM 301 Views
Yes, I agree. It feels cold because it is an alien presence. - 09/09/2009 02:31:45 PM 562 Views
It sounds better via the audio - 05/09/2009 03:07:37 PM 684 Views
Re: It sounds better via the audio - 05/09/2009 03:41:27 PM 570 Views
No. It was never meant to be, it never could be and Sanderson never pretended otherwise. - 05/09/2009 07:40:37 PM 763 Views
Exactly. - 05/09/2009 08:50:08 PM 589 Views
According to him... - 05/09/2009 09:14:44 PM 602 Views

It wasn't Jordan... - 07/09/2009 04:36:11 AM 568 Views
It isn't but I thought BS said he wasn't trying to be exactly like RJ - 08/09/2009 08:12:24 PM 632 Views
