I've wanted to say this for so long Japhy Send a noteboard - 05/08/2011 02:21:10 AM
Are you high?

Is this a joke? Are you a Clown?!


hahaha thanks!


(I really don't know these books - I have only read the first half of the first asoiaf book. Too much rape/killing/sex. - but i read lots of forums.)

The backslash is huge. Almost everybody says: despite its length (cca. 420 000 words, if I recall correctly) nothing happens in A Dance of Dragons.

Filler. Padding.

We (wot fans) know these words. Every Perrin/Faile chapter (Why Perrin didn't die in book 4??? He is useless.), almost every Elayne's chapter, Rand's chapters (from aCoS to aCoT) ... Unfortunately, Sanderson follows Jordan's path: the last two books have many, many filler chapters. (Around 60% , I think.)

Mr. Sanderson,

the best advice I can give you is this:

I know the book will be a bestseller but the last WoT book is very important to me/us. We don't need more fluff, rehashing, summarizes, rehashing, summarizes, fluff. If you could write the in book in 400 pages (cca. 150 000 words), then write it in 400 pages.

It's impossible for nothing to happen in AMoL. - 28/07/2011 07:30:02 PM 1454 Views
Oh, you're so cute in your innocence! - 02/08/2011 06:14:37 AM 1185 Views
Good thing I wasn't drinking milk when I read this. - 07/08/2011 10:24:29 PM 1037 Views
Yeah, suck it WoT-haters! We're eclectic! *NM* - 11/08/2011 02:00:05 AM 627 Views
Regardless of how bad it is, stuff still WILL happen. *NM* - 10/08/2011 05:30:02 PM 440 Views

Those who says that nothing happens in ADWD really need to read CoT - 29/07/2011 12:02:23 PM 1220 Views

A Dance of Dragons is hardly filler. *shrugs* *NM* - 31/07/2011 04:43:58 PM 655 Views
Agreed. It could be argued that more happens in the epilogue of ADWD than all of CoT. *NM* - 01/08/2011 01:27:58 AM 453 Views

That's like a pissing match between Gigli and Ishtar. - 02/08/2011 04:43:18 AM 945 Views
I regret wasting much of July reading it, so I respectfully disagree. - 02/08/2011 04:41:39 AM 1022 Views
I do request that you don't lump ALL of fantasy into those two authors - 02/08/2011 06:08:21 AM 1042 Views
You are completely overlooking his point, however. - 02/08/2011 06:12:45 AM 1097 Views
F*** you, you idiot. *NM* - 02/08/2011 06:13:48 AM 449 Views
At least he didn't ramble for five thousand words before actually making a point. *NM* - 03/08/2011 11:04:06 PM 507 Views
Are you talking about Cannoli or Joel? : - 03/08/2011 11:15:36 PM 1021 Views

There is that. - 04/08/2011 04:51:39 PM 929 Views
And a direct reply: - 02/08/2011 06:25:28 AM 1092 Views
that's fair enough - 03/08/2011 12:22:34 AM 1012 Views
Pretty much. - 15/08/2011 04:49:40 PM 845 Views
Wait... You want intelligent meaningful books, but you're demanding action? - 02/08/2011 06:52:00 AM 1020 Views
I want one or the other. - 02/08/2011 05:07:41 PM 893 Views
I don't mind a little of both - 02/08/2011 10:02:23 PM 835 Views
That's debatable. *NM* - 07/08/2011 11:07:51 PM 508 Views
I've wanted to say this for so long - 05/08/2011 02:21:10 AM 1031 Views
This "fluff" as you call it is important. - 05/08/2011 02:54:32 AM 1143 Views
