It felt like a plot tacked on as a vanity by Sanderson Joar Nessosin Send a noteboard - 31/01/2013 02:49:09 PM
When you consider that important plot lines like moiraines return, and rand getting the seancan on his side were treated in a half dozen paragraphs, it seems an extravagant one.

The "clever" uses of gateways were tiring in my opinion.

Sandersons constant resort to a light character figuring a novel way to use a function of the power that already had well defined limits was reminiscent of the Harry Potter series.

So, am I the only one who kind of liked the whole Androl/Pevara plot? beetnemesis - 31/01/2013 02:30:15 PM 2350 Views

I kind of always thought RJ intended the minor characters to be bland darius_sedai - 03/02/2013 12:00:33 AM 1013 Views
I'd say more like Mistborn than Harry Potter *NM* beetnemesis - 01/02/2013 02:53:30 PM 521 Views
I feel the same about Mat's luck powers. You talk about plot armor, his is a plot bulldozer. Bookwyrm - 01/02/2013 12:53:58 AM 1070 Views
You're not the only one who liked it. I thought the mind meld was cool. *NM* Evil_Monkey - 31/01/2013 02:39:48 PM 891 Views
No I loved it too. *NM* Dreadlord - 31/01/2013 02:43:31 PM 503 Views
I liked it. Most of the whining about is hilarious. Zeratul - 31/01/2013 03:01:10 PM 1152 Views
I hated it because it reeked of sanderson pandering to "internet humour" for lack of a better term. ImmanuelXavier - 31/01/2013 04:47:54 PM 1102 Views
Yep. I know what you mean, though it's hard to exactly quantify. muppet - 31/01/2013 04:49:12 PM 1055 Views
I could really use an example here beetnemesis - 01/02/2013 02:56:50 PM 1052 Views
I enjoyed it Ryan - 31/01/2013 04:37:42 PM 934 Views
It wasn't bad. However, it took away time from characters that readers were more invested in. *NM* Tom - 31/01/2013 04:52:25 PM 520 Views
Yeah, that's a legitimate complaint. *NM* beetnemesis - 01/02/2013 02:57:12 PM 522 Views
It was a fairly bad execution of some good ideas DomA - 31/01/2013 05:01:59 PM 1549 Views
That one line characterizes the last two books of WoT generally. *NM* Tom - 31/01/2013 08:52:06 PM 534 Views
He probably didn't have enough time to learn the characters completely Voscaia Sedai - 01/02/2013 01:45:11 PM 1106 Views

Well said... I would have waited for a better end product *NM* darius_sedai - 02/02/2013 05:50:16 PM 507 Views
I 100% agree with everything you said here! *NM* darius_sedai - 01/02/2013 02:16:56 PM 492 Views
Pretty much. But I think significant blame should be laid at Jordan's feet for his abysmal pacing. Ghavrel - 02/02/2013 10:48:06 AM 1120 Views
Yeah, yeah.. it's the f*cking silk washing's scene's fault DomA - 02/02/2013 05:59:30 PM 1398 Views
Damn you are on a roll ... Nicely said. *NM* darius_sedai - 03/02/2013 12:46:57 AM 601 Views
Its true, but RJ should get some blame Sidious - 05/02/2013 03:56:20 PM 1103 Views
Certainly RJ deserves some of the blame. But pacing issues were not the only issue with AMOL darius_sedai - 10/02/2013 02:45:02 PM 1011 Views
i enjoyed this subplot tacotime20 - 05/02/2013 05:41:23 PM 1383 Views
Not the only one..I really enjoyed reading their story. *NM* Simon - 01/02/2013 02:05:21 PM 576 Views
It was my favourite subplot *NM* Sidious - 01/02/2013 02:17:26 PM 768 Views
I liked it more than reading about Perrin. And seeing Mat butchered even further. *NM* Deadsy - 03/02/2013 02:28:42 AM 618 Views
I really liked this plot-line! *NM* aragornital - 03/02/2013 07:23:48 AM 487 Views
I liked it, but that's because... orius - 10/02/2013 09:14:44 AM 1195 Views
