Wheel of time #12

So good, oh my lord. Brandon Sanderson, way to be! What did you guys think?

I haven't read it, but I'm sure it's as good as the "Wheel of Time" series has ever been.

shit ain't out yet nigger

"Wheel of Time" and "good" in the same sentence? Lo, underage faggots.

I ghostwrote the series after book 3.

Are you kidding?  The entire series was plotted out in one afternoon and written by a computer with a fairly simply dialogue/description algorithm.

Wheel of Time has unoriginal and shallow characters, a copy-and-paste fantasy plot, and was written blandly. I would recommend this series to no one.

That's why I'm curious enough to read it.

Enjoy your first 100 pages before you give up out of boredom and frustration.

But then why do people like it?

The first book is just a copy and paste Lord of the Rings paint-by-numbers fantasy book.

Books 2-5 are a bit above average for fantasy.

Books 6-10 get worse and worse and worse and when you think it can't get any worse, it does. All of these books are just filler material to sell more books and milk the series for every last penny.

Book 11 finally got back on track. But then the greedy asshole died.

Now book 12 is being ghost written by some fanfiction poster he found on the internet in a contest or something.

Shouldn't the extra pages add to the larger narrative tapestry?  Dune and Lord of the Rings both took plenty of words and pages and they were both good.

Dune and Lord of the Rings weren't filler. They took a lot of pages because they had a lot to say. Jordan has nothing to say and the books from 5-10 don't add anything new to the story. They're just busy work to keep the characters occupied so he can delay the story and sell more books.

So very, very true.  I read them when they were first coming out, and got numbers three and four on their release dates.  I got to that one where they go to the Aiel Waste (the fourth book), and realized every single conversation and description he writes is the same.  Every time.  The characters are the same in every book, they're just wearing "merchant" clothes, or "nomad" clothes.
I threw all four of them out and have happily lol'd at all the fools that kept buying them.  Then I almost shit myself laughing when he died before he finished his awesome epic ingenious genre-shattering neverending plotline.

Neither one took as many words as the Wheel of Time series. The whole damn Baroque Cycle didn't take that many words.

I am only interested in reading the entire series because Brandon Sanderson is finishing it. He's my favorite old-school type fantasy author at the moment.

What's old-school about Brandon Sanderson?
