Re: If you don't find it acceptable, fine, but I do. reading is not objective. benxtaron Send a noteboard - 06/12/2010 07:17:03 AM
you would probably find them more enjoyable if you tuned down your nerd rage. I didn't expect them to be the same, because no one is RJ and he had details he had never put to paper in his mind. He probably couldn't have if he did, because they were abstract. It is a great relief to have plot lines actually start tying up and together at last and I don't mind if I read a different author to do so.

If you disagree with me that's alright. I'm used to people disagreeing with me, as I finished out Sword of Truth and actually rather enjoyed the last couple books. What gets me is how damned inflammatory YOU and other people are getting. The books are not RUINED. If he had actually RUINED tGS you wouldn't have likely bought ToM and unless you're a masochist, I can't imagine you're planning to buy aMoL. The satisfaction having the series conflict resolved can't POSSIBLY live up to your hating rage.


I think its a mindset thing, too. I went into ToM knowing that it would have a lot more of BS in it than tGS had, so I knew that it would be different than the previous books. Maybe thats why it didn't bother me, overall.

Yup, Sanderson has no subtly, or at least assumes that his readers have an IQ of 6. Lord Haart - 06/12/2010 01:04:44 AM 896 Views
