And it's not like he didn't ALREADY re-read the series for that reason.
Trivial is in the eye of the beholder. I like BS but his idea of trivial is completely different than RJ, IMO. You may prefer that BS writes the book to his own standards since you obviously prefer his standards. I for one, though am glad that BS wants to take the time to write it closer to RJs standards of what is trivial. I prefer RJs standards by a long shot. In the end, though, neither one of us will get what we want.
Is it just me, or is Sanderson's re-read of WoT taking an inordinate amount of time?

I would prefer it if he re-read it 5 times. I don't mind waiting.

I would love BS to get a better handle on the characters as well.

My problems with the series have little or nothing to do with Sanderson.

Why should you care. Just stop reading the series.

Because I want to find out how it ends. I was quite clear about that.

It's not like he's just reading for the hell of it.

He probably doesn't think he can afford to skim; which bits are the trivial ones?

Sanderson of all people should know what bits are trivial by now

After TOM re-reads, more beta readers and lots more edits is the order of the day

That could be just as easily fixed by having a few dedicated proofreaders.

I agree. I don't mind waiting, but it seems this re-read takes longer time than the previous one.

I agree with that sentiment. Team Jordan is there to address these issues.

I prefer him to complete his re-read and have enough time for a good series of round(s) for editing

I'm pretty sure most people around here can, and Brandon Sanderson can too.

He has said that he is starting to write the book since it's taking so long.
