Dizz Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 A ghost writer is writing it now that Jordan died using Jordan's notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRins Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'm a little torn...I had it in my hand this afternoon, knowing full well Robert has passed on. I didn't buy it...then I realized my copies of the rest of series were read and reread to near memorization. I think I'll be back at the bookstore tomorrow...

Imoutgoodbye Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Do yourselves a favor. Find a way to get those notes and tell the ghost writer to **** off because he already sucks. I hate ghost writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRins Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I got a fever Reverend and the only cure? MORE RAND AL'THOR!!! I'm willing to believe that the spirit of the stories will be the same...if not the unique Jordanesque style... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imoutgoodbye Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I got a fever Reverend and the only cure? MORE RAND AL'THOR!!! The only thing more disturbing would be if you needed more Richard Cypher to go with that...(book wise anyways) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrek Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 what book is it? I think i quit reading at 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imoutgoodbye Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 It's gotta be like 11 or 12. I quit reading at 9 because book 10 was a prequel or something like that. I quit reading the Sword of Truth series because it got boring by book 6.... Some people don't just know when to quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killalou Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'm not sure how you guys can read that series. I started a long time ago, ready about 5 books and quit because it was boring and it never ended. I got tired of all the backstabs, double backstabs, triple backstabs, dead characters being ressurected in different forms....ugggh! It just needs to end.

Dead Voodoo Doll Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 what book is it? I think i quit reading at 6. this is the 12th and yes Robert Jordan has passed. Two years ago from a very rare heart disease. Read the book and its great. All the plot lines, etc were already written or dictated on audio tape, the new author (Brandon Sanderson, not an anonymous ghost) just did dialogue/descriptions/put everything together, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evangelion Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 This is volume 12, part 1 of 3. And yes, I'll be buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonforger17 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I have I read it its great. Brandon Sanderson only fleshed it out Robert Jordan had about a third of it already written including the ending, and left many notes for Brandon. The original book jordan was intending to right according to Brandon Sanderson who is an english teacher at BYU was going to be well over 1400 pages Brandon looking more at like 1800. He also wrote the mistborn trilogy which i thought was amazing. Basically for a ghost writer though its not much different. Yea the 5th was pretty boring if im right cause thats when certain main characters disappeared for like two books. Perrin was gone for an entire book and mat was completely gone in the next one I was beginning to think he would take al thor out of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwetton Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Yes I agree with Dragon, I was playin wow and a buddy of mine on there was like hey they assigned brandon sanderson to finish WoT. I was like who the **** is that, he'd read him before so i picked up Elantris, not bad for a stand alone so i bought the mistborn books, they're amazing, one of the most innovative magic systems used in a fantasy series in some time, i get burned out on the whole mage fireball boom thing, things like mistborn, WoT that have magic persay but not your run of the mill mages are what I enjoy, but anyways, he's not unknown, he's not a ghost and its done really well, and I LOVE jordan but if i have to read that damn tolkien style 4 page description of a dress thing one moer time i'm gonna puke, i loved the way they were wrote but he did describe things in excess, If you enjoy'd the WoT series please get book 12 even though its not written purely by Jordan it was amazingly well done.

dragonforger17 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 He describes the same **** like 100 times in the book. Brandon sanderson did damn near the same they made it quite clear rand has no arm and doesnt laugh the whole book. And of course he only describes the aes sedia dress adn mins overall 500 times.

ajwetton Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 But at least the pacing was better or it was a passing mention of stuff lol i swear jordan took lessons from tolkien, "i think i'll describe the hobbits meals down to the number of steam wafts from the hot food and the exact in detail texture of the cold food isn't satisfactory until i've written for 2 pages" lol like i said, get the book its good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajwetton Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Its supposed to be (key word is supposed) to be one book a year for the next two years so 2011 should mark the end of the series if all goes as sanderson plans/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangelion Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I greatly enjoyed this volume in the series. I'm also of the opinion that Sanderson is better at writing epic battle sequences than Jordan. Compare Dumai's Wells to the Battle for the White Tower...

I thought Sanderson excelled though I was a little caught off guard as to how much he changed the "voice" of Mat. Did Fayl die ? I couldn't stand reading her passages. They made me sick. Nope, Faile did not. Unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
