This is not RJ's writing. (No Spoilers) Cannoli Send a noteboard - 05/09/2009 03:46:26 AM
It just feels wrong. Sorry. Maybe he gets better as the book goes on, but this is not the same. It's not bad, and it does not detract from the story, but it does not feel the same. I don't think it's going to matter. I still enjoyed reading the chapter, and I have every intention of reading the book the day it comes out, with not one less ounce of anticipation. But it is not RJ's writing, for those of you to whom such things matter.

How long is it? I kinda wanna read it now, but I'm at work, so I'm not sure if I have time. *NM* Brian - 05/09/2009 03:55:02 AM 295 Views
Bah, so am I. 4.5 pages on Microsoft Word. Single space, no margin, Arial font, size 9. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:02:13 AM 596 Views
Yeah, it was actually a fairly quick read..no trouble at all reading it at work. *NM* Brian - 05/09/2009 05:00:17 AM 325 Views
It isn't supposed to be. Great Lord of Chaos - 05/09/2009 04:08:46 AM 723 Views
Jason claimed it was hard to tell them apart. *NM* Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:10:13 AM 323 Views
I take anything from that source with a pinch of salt *NM* Sidious - 05/09/2009 03:41:49 PM 281 Views
I noticed that too. Kronin al'Sulc - 05/09/2009 04:11:22 AM 579 Views

Absolutely not. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:18:51 AM 1062 Views
Re: Absolutely not. bdev_03 - 05/09/2009 04:25:16 AM 851 Views
That's what I meant by absolutely not. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:31:26 AM 795 Views
Could it be rough draft that Sanderson kept, and Jordan never polished? *NM* Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:14:59 AM 375 Views
I doubt it Brian - 05/09/2009 05:17:09 AM 858 Views
Definitely Sanderson AliasRY - 05/09/2009 05:27:57 AM 860 Views
Really? DomA - 05/09/2009 08:55:37 AM 870 Views

I could tell it wasn't Jordan, but I liked what I read. Rurouni_Kenshin - 05/09/2009 04:27:44 AM 568 Views
I liked it too...new WoT material finally! *NM* Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:16:34 AM 273 Views
It bugged me at first. Gher - 05/09/2009 04:32:27 AM 642 Views
Yeah, I just finished reading it....and it was pretty obvious that it wasn't RJ Brian - 05/09/2009 04:55:30 AM 668 Views
I think Sanderson had to come up with the wind scene Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:17:58 AM 674 Views

agreed. I liked it, but Deadsy - 05/09/2009 05:13:18 AM 676 Views
Anyone want to guess which part can be a foreshadowing? redhand - 05/09/2009 05:34:07 AM 648 Views

Becareful of what you wish for Knightscape - 05/09/2009 08:29:52 AM 677 Views
I've been saying that for years. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 08:55:19 AM 728 Views
Whatever. I thought it was an improvement. Haggard - 05/09/2009 08:45:37 PM 651 Views
Agree fully. Art and paiting have rarely even been mentioned! It feels like a fan's writing... fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 09:59:15 AM 745 Views
Are you pre-ordering the book? AliasRY - 05/09/2009 10:48:44 AM 640 Views
I live in the U.S. now... fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 02:59:40 PM 632 Views
I hope so, because I won't able to wait for it. *NM* AliasRY - 05/09/2009 04:45:01 PM 292 Views
I preordered it from Bookdepository.com for 15$ AgentOrange - 05/09/2009 04:47:07 PM 539 Views
I checked, they don't ship to India. *NM* AliasRY - 05/09/2009 04:50:34 PM 302 Views
Yes, I agree. It feels cold because it is an alien presence. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/09/2009 02:31:45 PM 563 Views
It sounds better via the audio Isaac - 05/09/2009 03:07:37 PM 687 Views
Re: It sounds better via the audio RandAllThor - 05/09/2009 03:41:27 PM 575 Views
No. It was never meant to be, it never could be and Sanderson never pretended otherwise. Werthead - 05/09/2009 07:40:37 PM 769 Views
Exactly. Haggard - 05/09/2009 08:50:08 PM 593 Views
According to him... Werthead - 05/09/2009 09:14:44 PM 604 Views
It sounds more like Anderson than Jordan Cannoli - 05/09/2009 11:11:58 PM 868 Views

It wasn't Jordan... Rand al'Thor - 07/09/2009 04:36:11 AM 571 Views
It isn't but I thought BS said he wasn't trying to be exactly like RJ RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/09/2009 08:12:24 PM 634 Views
The difference was a bit staggering scalius - 08/09/2009 08:23:15 PM 594 Views
