That cliffhanger was similar to what GRRM does... Marshall Send a noteboard - 17/08/2011 10:51:00 PM
...and it really pisses me off. He'll often end a chapter with words to make it sound as though someone died, but you can't really tell, and you just spend the remainder of the book wondering.

To me, it's just a stupid case of the author taking advantage of the fact that he's telling the story--it has nothing to do with plot cleverness.

Yes, I do not believe that what I said is true, it's just an impression I get when reading. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 16/08/2011 07:32:21 PM 290 Views

I think this is most obvious with the Perrin at Dragonmount scene. Fanatic-Templar - 18/08/2011 12:45:51 AM 682 Views

Graendal was to Wheel of Time as the Comedian was to Watchmen. The joke was on them in the end. *NM* Bookwyrm - 25/08/2011 06:33:37 AM 308 Views
