Re: Absolutely not. bdev_03 Send a noteboard - 05/09/2009 04:25:16 AM
I thought the same thing the first time I read it, but when I reread I think it was more the shock of actually reading something new in the series for the first time in years.


It's a whole bunch of little things. The dialogue, the way the PoV character thinks, the way the character explains things directly that would have been referenced more obliquely and more smoothly in previous books ... it's just not the same. And I like it less and less the more I re-read it...


Yeah, I didn't find it as smooth. And Rand talked a little differently. It feels faster paced too. We'll see I guess

Just to be a little wacky, have we considered that this could be one of the portions of the novel RJ wrote? I don't think it is, but maybe we are just freaked out by new WoT material.

This is not RJ's writing. (No Spoilers) Cannoli - 05/09/2009 03:46:26 AM 1714 Views
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 323 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 673 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 354 Views
It isn't supposed to be. Great Lord of Chaos - 05/09/2009 04:08:46 AM 799 Views
Jason claimed it was hard to tell them apart. *NM* Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:10:13 AM 350 Views
I take anything from that source with a pinch of salt *NM* Sidious - 05/09/2009 03:41:49 PM 309 Views

That's what I meant by absolutely not. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 04:31:26 AM 839 Views
Could it be rough draft that Sanderson kept, and Jordan never polished? *NM* Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:14:59 AM 403 Views
I doubt it Brian - 05/09/2009 05:17:09 AM 938 Views
Definitely Sanderson AliasRY - 05/09/2009 05:27:57 AM 932 Views
Really? DomA - 05/09/2009 08:55:37 AM 948 Views

I could tell it wasn't Jordan, but I liked what I read. Rurouni_Kenshin - 05/09/2009 04:27:44 AM 643 Views
I liked it too...new WoT material finally! *NM* Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:16:34 AM 288 Views
It bugged me at first. Gher - 05/09/2009 04:32:27 AM 705 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 716 Views
I think Sanderson had to come up with the wind scene Ryan - 05/09/2009 05:17:58 AM 718 Views

agreed. I liked it, but Deadsy - 05/09/2009 05:13:18 AM 750 Views
Anyone want to guess which part can be a foreshadowing? redhand - 05/09/2009 05:34:07 AM 724 Views

I've been saying that for years. Cannoli - 05/09/2009 08:55:19 AM 803 Views
Whatever. I thought it was an improvement. Haggard - 05/09/2009 08:45:37 PM 718 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 820 Views
Are you pre-ordering the book? AliasRY - 05/09/2009 10:48:44 AM 712 Views
I live in the U.S. now... fionwe1987 - 05/09/2009 02:59:40 PM 706 Views
I hope so, because I won't able to wait for it. *NM* AliasRY - 05/09/2009 04:45:01 PM 315 Views
I preordered it from Bookdepository.com for 15$ AgentOrange - 05/09/2009 04:47:07 PM 610 Views
I checked, they don't ship to India. *NM* AliasRY - 05/09/2009 04:50:34 PM 325 Views
Yes, I agree. It feels cold because it is an alien presence. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/09/2009 02:31:45 PM 627 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 845 Views
Exactly. Haggard - 05/09/2009 08:50:08 PM 660 Views
According to him... Werthead - 05/09/2009 09:14:44 PM 674 Views
It sounds more like Anderson than Jordan Cannoli - 05/09/2009 11:11:58 PM 917 Views

It wasn't Jordan... Rand al'Thor - 07/09/2009 04:36:11 AM 620 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 713 Views
The difference was a bit staggering scalius - 08/09/2009 08:23:15 PM 679 Views
