'K, HOWEVER: I didn't ask Dans criticisms since he stated them on Skype; I AM curious about yours. Joel Send a noteboard - 21/11/2010 12:43:06 PM
I agree with Dan, and I can categorically say it is not because ToM followed "the superb" tGS.

And concede an ulterior motive: I know a lot of people think Sanderson can do nothing right when it comes to WoT, because whatever he is or isn't he's not RJ. I also know a lot of people who joined a website dedicated to the series, even borrowed SNs from the text, subsequently came to regard WoT as pedestrian, shallow and beneath them. I don't consider impressions of any new WoT book from either source objective, so I want to make sure that's not what I'm dealing with before I play Defender of the Fade. ;)

There's a lot of Perrin, but he's better than usual. *NM* Deadsy - 20/11/2010 04:45:21 AM 237 Views
Do your own accounting...early. This way ToM will seem more interesting. *NM* malekithe - 20/11/2010 06:27:47 AM 251 Views

Oh, hush, you! Joel - 20/11/2010 01:54:56 PM 624 Views
It really was. Worse than Crossroads of Twilight, in my opinion. *NM* Dan - 20/11/2010 02:59:55 PM 269 Views

Hey... KoD was awesome /glare *NM* Deadsy - 21/11/2010 12:47:36 AM 245 Views
It was alright, worlds better than the three preceding it. Joel - 21/11/2010 12:55:08 PM 546 Views
No, that's a factor. Taking into account the position of a book in a series doesn't compromise it. Dan - 21/11/2010 05:25:34 PM 753 Views
No, but it does color ones perspective, naturally. Joel - 21/11/2010 07:50:59 PM 727 Views
