Uh... I like them more than some of his books? Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 06/12/2011 09:51:59 PM
I certainly don't think they hold a candle to, say, The Fires of Heaven, but I like them more than Crossroads of Twilight.

That said, I think they're among Sanderson's weakest works. He writes in such an utterly different fashion from Jordan that I don't really understand why he was chosen to finish the series.

I have to say I agree, and if I come across as too harsh on B-Sand, it is entirely results-oriented Cannoli - 17/11/2011 06:02:05 AM 911 Views

No way tGS and ToM are the worst in the series. Not the best, but not the worst. The Angry Druid - 02/12/2011 06:20:43 PM 1184 Views
