Guess I'm in the minority, because I felt quite satisfied, all things considered. PseudoDragon Send a noteboard - 03/03/2017 06:13:27 PM

I really like Sanderson as an author and storyteller, but it was never going to be the same post-Jordan. And, as others are happy to pontificate on, Jordan, and his series, had flaws. Speaking just of the conclusion, it was no doubt disappointing to see Fain's storyline, for example, resolved in such a anti-climactic manner.

But overall, when I put the final book down, I felt it had concluded the story well, keeping me entertained and doing justice to the epic tale started years earlier.

Maybe I'm just easy to please.

How did you feel after completing AMoL? - Anonymous2000 - 24/02/2017 04:03:10 AM 1721 Views
Unsatisfied I suppose or perhaps regretful darius_sedai - 24/02/2017 02:54:12 PM 1164 Views
I'll post this again Tom - 25/02/2017 01:29:16 AM 875 Views
Very good post, can't argue with it. Anonymous2000 - 25/02/2017 02:40:18 AM 1089 Views
I can argue with some of it Joel - 25/02/2017 09:32:17 PM 1000 Views
You can say whatever you want, but you're wrong Tom - 25/02/2017 10:40:58 PM 949 Views
We are not discussing concrete facts, so objective error is impossible Joel - 26/02/2017 01:21:46 AM 1063 Views
In any discussion, error is possible. In your discussions, it's a near certainty. Tom - 28/02/2017 08:24:59 PM 905 Views
On a different topic, how important do you think that stuff is? Cannoli - 03/03/2017 07:20:15 AM 1018 Views
It's all about suspending disbelief, isn't it? Tom - 04/03/2017 01:13:12 AM 991 Views
That makes a lot of sense. Cannoli - 08/03/2017 10:18:56 PM 983 Views
On further reflection, I think the religion element being left out is important. Tom - 04/03/2017 04:07:53 AM 918 Views
Middle-Earth? Cannoli - 08/03/2017 09:53:45 PM 1118 Views
A Elbereth Gilthoniel... Tom - 10/03/2017 04:48:50 PM 936 Views
Morning Star is actually a title of Mary, and the name of a summer camp run by nuns. Cannoli - 25/03/2017 09:59:31 PM 888 Views
Tolkien would also be familiar with Isaiah 14:12 Tom - 27/03/2017 05:09:49 PM 838 Views
Personally, "religion" in WoT makes perfect sense... For the AoL. Not so much the Third Age Dunstan - 09/03/2017 01:55:29 AM 1000 Views
But did they really undeniably prove this existence? darius_sedai - 09/03/2017 04:19:43 PM 1136 Views

I think we are saying similar things darius_sedai - 12/03/2017 08:31:13 PM 1037 Views
Some points Cannoli - 25/02/2017 11:54:50 PM 990 Views
Well, some THINGS anyway. Joel - 26/02/2017 01:56:29 AM 958 Views
Your recognition of irony is profound Cannoli - 26/02/2017 08:39:47 AM 912 Views
Not great, but better; what all went to Hell after ACoS, Sanderson at least returned to Purgatory Joel - 25/02/2017 03:39:58 PM 915 Views
MAYBE in the pacing, but that is it. Sanderson got absolutely nothing else right beyond the events *NM* Cannoli - 25/02/2017 11:59:06 PM 710 Views

With Demandred... That was likely at least somewhat the point. Dunstan - 28/02/2017 06:09:13 AM 881 Views

I still haven't read it. Stephen - 01/03/2017 08:03:53 PM 876 Views
Interesting, any reason why you haven't read it yet? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 01/03/2017 10:26:21 PM 515 Views
It was the end of their world as I knew it, and I felt fine. *NM* Cannoli - 02/03/2017 11:13:25 PM 562 Views

The Fouth Age is quite a fun little sandbox. Full of possibilities. *NM* *NM* Dunstan - 05/03/2017 07:11:30 AM 520 Views
