Totally radical.

Indeed, I bought the prologue for 2.99 as well. My faith in Sanderson seems well placed. Not that I'm surprised, I've enjoyed his own novels after all.

You should probably note Slargos that this is book 12 of The Wheel of Time.

Yeah.

I got back on the Jordan train a few months back when I picked up the audiobooks which managed to rekindle my love for the series. Quite good timing too.

I'm eager to see what Sanderson does with it, but from what little I read his style is not going to be mistaken for Jordan's.

Can you link to the second chapter?  All I see is the audiobook version.

Transcript written by someone with too much time on their hands.

It's an Egwene chapter set right after her last chapter in Knife of Dreams.

I bought Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy to get some idea of how his writing would compare to Jordan's.

[DOWN GRUMBLER, DOWN BOY]

From the evidence of that trilogy, I think he'll do a sterling job. In some ways, it may even turn out better than if Jordan alone had written it; Jordan's insistence that it would all wrap up in one book left me feeling that the ending would be rushed. Sanderson's had to split "Memory of Light" into three novels, so I really don't think "rushed" will be one of the adjectives applied to his work.

Pretty weak.  Churchill was not known for his parsimony but still managed to fit the entire Gathering Storm in his first volume.

Heh. 

[Grallon]

This chapter was more interesting than many of Jordan's previous books.  He should have called upon someone else to write for him long before he croaked.

I made the mistake of turning that on at work and immediately had Egwene thinking abotu how red her ass is after having been spanked.  Fucksake. 

[Agelastus]

On a slightly different note, "Unseen Academicals" is out!!!!

[Fireblade]

I thought this was going to be about the rising tide of darkies/muslims invading Slargos's beloved, fair, ivory white Sweden.

Leaving disappointed.

That's still a work in progress.

WTF?  I have never expressed an opinion on Sanderson, whose works I have not read.

I think you have confused me with someone else.
