for the large part, RJ's nobles weren't particularly deep either. LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 30/11/2010 08:15:07 PM
I didn't find BS's characterization of the nobles less fleshed out than RJ's nobles of similar narrative status. Sure, RJ fleshed out some of the "big" nobles, like the ones who went into direct conflict with Rand, or who became Rand's stewards...but he didn't really flesh out most of the other nobles. I don't think the nobles we see in ToM serve any real purpose beyond as a narrative tool, and I don't think that RJ would have fleshed them out much more than BS did, if at all.

Content Edit: As a secondary thought, RJ might have fleshed them out more if he was using his usual deliberate plodding pace and had spent more time on this plot line than BS does. However, I really don't think any of us would have wanted to read that particular plot line drawn out to that level ;)

I really do not see how being given new lands and a new chance is "worse than death". LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 04:13:53 PM 810 Views

Notice how people liked Henry VIII more than they liked Henry VII guttering flame - 01/12/2010 11:15:03 AM 703 Views
because of his "Kingly" behavior, in comparison to VII's lack thereof. LadyLorraine - 01/12/2010 08:26:26 PM 762 Views

He was not particularly fat until he was older. LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 02:17:43 PM 748 Views
