i enjoyed this subplot tacotime20 Send a noteboard - 05/02/2013 05:41:23 PM

To essentially drop the Asha'man like Flinn, Narishma and Logain from the story to shift the focus to create a whole arc for a character named one or twice by RJ previously, boosting him to main secondary character, with more screen time than many main players (Faile, Nynaeve, Moiraine, Loial... ) even it meant outshining and sidetracking the players RJ had developed toward this is all RJ's bloody fault, all deriving from the pacing of COT. Heck, even the baby kissing scene with Logain felt like someone put a leash on Brandon and forced him to give Logain "his glory", because if Brandon had follow his whims, it would have been Androl. Brandon turned Logain into a figurehead leader, while the whole book spells out the real leader at the Black Tower is bloody Androl, humble Androl who lets Logain appear to lead.



I enjoyed the relationship between androl and pevara particlarly the telepathy with the mutual bonding. yes logain did get sidelined by androl in the course of things but i could live with that. it would be hard for any author not to put some of his own style and thoughts into a series when taking over for another author. i have enjoyed sanderson's interpretation of the series and characters. he may not be RJ but he brought the series to my mind a satisfying conclusion.

So, am I the only one who kind of liked the whole Androl/Pevara plot? - 31/01/2013 02:30:15 PM 2248 Views

It felt like a plot tacked on as a vanity by Sanderson - 31/01/2013 02:49:09 PM 1070 Views

I kind of always thought RJ intended the minor characters to be bland - 03/02/2013 12:00:33 AM 919 Views
I'd say more like Mistborn than Harry Potter *NM* - 01/02/2013 02:53:30 PM 489 Views
No I loved it too. *NM* - 31/01/2013 02:43:31 PM 468 Views
I liked it. Most of the whining about is hilarious. - 31/01/2013 03:01:10 PM 1056 Views
I hated it because it reeked of sanderson pandering to "internet humour" for lack of a better term. - 31/01/2013 04:47:54 PM 1008 Views
Yep. I know what you mean, though it's hard to exactly quantify. - 31/01/2013 04:49:12 PM 970 Views

It was a fairly bad execution of some good ideas - 31/01/2013 05:01:59 PM 1459 Views
He probably didn't have enough time to learn the characters completely - 01/02/2013 01:45:11 PM 1017 Views

Well said... I would have waited for a better end product *NM* - 02/02/2013 05:50:16 PM 469 Views
I 100% agree with everything you said here! *NM* - 01/02/2013 02:16:56 PM 456 Views
Pretty much. But I think significant blame should be laid at Jordan's feet for his abysmal pacing. - 02/02/2013 10:48:06 AM 1028 Views
Yeah, yeah.. it's the f*cking silk washing's scene's fault - 02/02/2013 05:59:30 PM 1300 Views
Damn you are on a roll ... Nicely said. *NM* - 03/02/2013 12:46:57 AM 556 Views
