It seems surprising and yet logical, if all this is true Larry Send a noteboard - 29/12/2012 11:42:01 PM
I agree that a book that is ruined by spoilers is basically worthless. If a secondhand summary of events is enough to capture the excitement and entertainment value of a book, then the book is hardly worth reading.

Which is why I have never minded spoilers.

As for aMoL... its shaping up to be very unexpected, from the spoilers I'm getting. Some of my most assured theories have been shot to hell. So I guess I'll enjoy it!


Now to see if it's like ToM, where the whole was much less than the sum of its parts. I suspect the "seams" of the writing will be even more evident here. I also suspect there'll be an attempt at something profound about the end of battle, an analog of some sort for Jordan's post-Vietnam life. Those previous scenes I thought were the best in the series; I could care less about "body counts" or other expressions of violence.

Somehow, I think in the rush to learn details, things like this might not be discussed much, since this is the end...or an ending :P

Do you mean the size of the audience is more stable, they're more mentally sane, or both? *NM* - 01/01/2013 08:29:53 PM 602 Views
