Yeah, suck it WoT-haters! We're eclectic! *NM* Cannoli Send a noteboard - 11/08/2011 02:00:05 AM
I have every confidence in Jordan's ability to not fully explain things and frustrate the casual fan and in Sanderson's ability to completely miss what RJ was going for and screw it up, leaving us with neither answers nor Jordan's original vision.

Very funny and like so many funny things so true.

I don't things are as bad as you think, though. I liked ToM a fair amount. It seemed more true to RJs vision than tGS. Maybe he will get better in AMoL.

Most of the people I know who read a lot of fantasy don't like WoT much. In some sense WoT is more of a historical novel than a fantasy novel. It doesn't fit well into any genre. It is some weird combination of 1 part fantasy/epic, 1 part historical novel, 1 part Little Women/Anne of Green Gables, 1 part logic puzzle, 1 part Classic Literature. You have to quite eclectic to appreciate it.

A Dance of Dragons will influence A Memory of Light? - 28/07/2011 03:30:30 PM 2470 Views
It's impossible for nothing to happen in AMoL. - 28/07/2011 07:30:02 PM 1435 Views
Oh, you're so cute in your innocence! - 02/08/2011 06:14:37 AM 1175 Views
Good thing I wasn't drinking milk when I read this. - 07/08/2011 10:24:29 PM 1026 Views

Regardless of how bad it is, stuff still WILL happen. *NM* - 10/08/2011 05:30:02 PM 435 Views

Those who says that nothing happens in ADWD really need to read CoT - 29/07/2011 12:02:23 PM 1208 Views

A Dance of Dragons is hardly filler. *shrugs* *NM* - 31/07/2011 04:43:58 PM 649 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 444 Views

That's like a pissing match between Gigli and Ishtar. - 02/08/2011 04:43:18 AM 935 Views
I regret wasting much of July reading it, so I respectfully disagree. - 02/08/2011 04:41:39 AM 1007 Views
I do request that you don't lump ALL of fantasy into those two authors - 02/08/2011 06:08:21 AM 1024 Views
You are completely overlooking his point, however. - 02/08/2011 06:12:45 AM 1085 Views
F*** you, you idiot. *NM* - 02/08/2011 06:13:48 AM 444 Views
At least he didn't ramble for five thousand words before actually making a point. *NM* - 03/08/2011 11:04:06 PM 501 Views
Are you talking about Cannoli or Joel? : - 03/08/2011 11:15:36 PM 1006 Views

There is that. - 04/08/2011 04:51:39 PM 918 Views
And a direct reply: - 02/08/2011 06:25:28 AM 1081 Views
that's fair enough - 03/08/2011 12:22:34 AM 997 Views
Pretty much. - 15/08/2011 04:49:40 PM 835 Views
Wait... You want intelligent meaningful books, but you're demanding action? - 02/08/2011 06:52:00 AM 1006 Views
I want one or the other. - 02/08/2011 05:07:41 PM 882 Views
I don't mind a little of both - 02/08/2011 10:02:23 PM 825 Views
That's debatable. *NM* - 07/08/2011 11:07:51 PM 503 Views
I've wanted to say this for so long - 05/08/2011 02:21:10 AM 1020 Views
This "fluff" as you call it is important. - 05/08/2011 02:54:32 AM 1134 Views
