Well... that's a bit disappointing after Brandon said he was aware of these flaws in TGS, but it's not really surprising. At least I hope he remembered to include more timeline markers in the descriptions. Some of that was bound to happen after deciding to restructure completely a novel he had not outlined and planned himself, when barely half the material was written. It could have ended worse, much worse.

It's good to know something closer to Jordan's approach won't return with TOM now. Better to know this now, before starting the book than getting irritated by finding out as I read, like happened in TGS.

I still think that placing chapters from connected story lines out of order is a bad decision and one that required only a bit more work to avoid and smooth out, but at least I know to expect more of this in TOM.

Now some people seems to see me as an idiot and taken my views on this as general hatred of Brandon's work, and of TGS (you might want to read my wholly positive review of the book to see what I enjoyed massively in it), but I happen to have enough of an intellect to be able to globally enjoy TGS and appreciate everything that, to my tastes, Brandon did absolutely right in them without feeling the need to put my head in the sand and pretend there aren't other aspects I don't enjoy, or that diminish my fun, or not to wish to discuss them with others from time to time. But oh well, it's not really surprising from the posters who made those comments.
