Pretty much. But I think significant blame should be laid at Jordan's feet for his abysmal pacing. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 02/02/2013 10:48:06 AM
I don't doubt that Jordan would have done a significantly better job than Sanderson, but by the time aMoL was approaching, there were just too many plotlines to conclude them sufficiently (doubtlessly some of the readers here who praise Jordan as the next coming of Shakespeare will disagree, but I digress). Given the absurd amount of time wasted with, for example, Rolan and Faile, I think it would have been hard for Jordan to do the remaining story of the Black Tower. Logain's absence in the latter part of the series is inane.

So, am I the only one who kind of liked the whole Androl/Pevara plot? beetnemesis - 31/01/2013 02:30:15 PM 2336 Views
It was extremely irritating... Shannow - 31/01/2013 02:34:32 PM 1362 Views

It felt like a plot tacked on as a vanity by Sanderson Joar Nessosin - 31/01/2013 02:49:09 PM 1149 Views

I kind of always thought RJ intended the minor characters to be bland darius_sedai - 03/02/2013 12:00:33 AM 998 Views
I'd say more like Mistborn than Harry Potter *NM* beetnemesis - 01/02/2013 02:53:30 PM 514 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 1055 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 886 Views
No I loved it too. *NM* Dreadlord - 31/01/2013 02:43:31 PM 499 Views
I liked it. Most of the whining about is hilarious. Zeratul - 31/01/2013 03:01:10 PM 1133 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 1086 Views
Yep. I know what you mean, though it's hard to exactly quantify. muppet - 31/01/2013 04:49:12 PM 1042 Views
I could really use an example here beetnemesis - 01/02/2013 02:56:50 PM 1039 Views
I enjoyed it Ryan - 31/01/2013 04:37:42 PM 922 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 515 Views
Yeah, that's a legitimate complaint. *NM* beetnemesis - 01/02/2013 02:57:12 PM 516 Views
It was a fairly bad execution of some good ideas DomA - 31/01/2013 05:01:59 PM 1535 Views
That one line characterizes the last two books of WoT generally. *NM* Tom - 31/01/2013 08:52:06 PM 528 Views
He probably didn't have enough time to learn the characters completely Voscaia Sedai - 01/02/2013 01:45:11 PM 1093 Views

Well said... I would have waited for a better end product *NM* darius_sedai - 02/02/2013 05:50:16 PM 502 Views
I 100% agree with everything you said here! *NM* darius_sedai - 01/02/2013 02:16:56 PM 481 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 1107 Views
Yeah, yeah.. it's the f*cking silk washing's scene's fault DomA - 02/02/2013 05:59:30 PM 1382 Views
Damn you are on a roll ... Nicely said. *NM* darius_sedai - 03/02/2013 12:46:57 AM 591 Views
Its true, but RJ should get some blame Sidious - 05/02/2013 03:56:20 PM 1089 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 993 Views
i enjoyed this subplot tacotime20 - 05/02/2013 05:41:23 PM 1367 Views
Not the only one..I really enjoyed reading their story. *NM* Simon - 01/02/2013 02:05:21 PM 571 Views
It was my favourite subplot *NM* Sidious - 01/02/2013 02:17:26 PM 762 Views
I liked it more than reading about Perrin. And seeing Mat butchered even further. *NM* Deadsy - 03/02/2013 02:28:42 AM 611 Views
I really liked this plot-line! *NM* aragornital - 03/02/2013 07:23:48 AM 481 Views
I liked it, but that's because... orius - 10/02/2013 09:14:44 AM 1179 Views
