I don't read in a lineal fashion, so I'm only 50% done Larry Send a noteboard - 16/10/2010 03:58:34 PM
Without going into specifics, how did you like the ending? Does it compare favorably with that of TGS?

Do Rand and Egwene have major roles in the book?

Does ToM deliver the same number of iconic/memorable/major scenes as TGS did?


But having read several of the major plotlines, the ending is different. That's all I'll say on that.

Memorable scenes? About the same, maybe more, depending on which characters you enjoy the most.

Yes, they have major roles but not major numbers of chapters.

Whoa, check out that COVER! Joel - 16/10/2010 07:58:31 AM 1293 Views

Has it lived up to your initial excitement on looking at the ending thus far? *NM* RandAllThor - 16/10/2010 11:11:44 AM 771 Views
It's a surprising book in many ways Larry - 16/10/2010 03:25:13 PM 1484 Views

Is this in reference to Brandon's 'small unnoticed detail' from books 4-6? Terez - 17/10/2010 10:35:37 PM 1387 Views
Something else Larry - 17/10/2010 10:42:17 PM 1352 Views

Ironically Sanderson's signature looks like he tried to cross out his own name from the title page *NM* Cannoli - 16/10/2010 12:22:33 PM 764 Views
He's done that on all the books I've had signed. *NM* kavorka - 16/10/2010 02:41:04 PM 652 Views
Just glancing at it that's what I thought had happened. *NM* j-whitt987 - 16/10/2010 11:24:08 PM 686 Views

Certainly... Etzel - 16/10/2010 03:36:29 PM 1415 Views
Or it might be that the glossary reveals that the murderer him/herself gets done over in ToM. RandAllThor - 16/10/2010 03:41:21 PM 1298 Views

Well, feel free to talk about the structure and prose, then. Tom - 18/10/2010 11:28:01 PM 968 Views
I would, but there's another problem in doing that Larry - 18/10/2010 11:32:35 PM 1422 Views
