Midnight Prancer has begun running through the Dream! Brandon Sanderson was the prefect choice!

Hey all.

I fell in love with these books almost 10 years ago, and was absolutely devastated when I found out the legend behind them passed away.

Call me sad, but I actually had a lump in my throat when I read about it online! But I know I probably wasn't the only fan who did so.

When I heard that some one else had been chosen to complete this amazing saga, I was optimistic but also a little biased that they wouldn't be able to deliver the amazing detail and drama that Mr Jordan could create with his words.

 

Was I wrong or what!?

 

Brandon Sanderson has been true to the storyline, characters and aura that Jordan created, and dare I say it...? Slightly better at keeping the dialogue going. Dont get me wrong, Jordan's descriptive words and passionate detail to the smallest blade of grass is amazing and one of a kind, never will there be an author of the like, but I couldn't help but be excited and shocked after I finished the first three chapters of The Gathering Storm, after finding there seemed to be so much more chat and a little less 360 degree view of each scene.

 

But enough about that before I dig myself a deeper hole! :)

 

I had to re-read the books from the beginning after my partner bought me a whole stack of new books for Christmas and when I saw he had Book Twelve, which, by the way, I had been waiting for, for what seemed and age, I realised I had to re-live every moment again so I could get myself prepared for the beginning of the end.

It seems to have taken me forever, due to having a 2 year old who craves attention every second of the day and a body which gives in to sleep way to easily after a day at work!

But I am slowly getting there!

I am currently on Chapter 40 "The Tower Shakes" of The Gathering Storm which I will be continuing to read as soon as I finish writing this introduction! It's like watching your favourite TV series that just gets better with the end of each episode, each episode being each chapter.

I find myself saying "I'll just read 1 chapter tonight and go to sleep." And end up reading at least 3 and realising it's 1am! I have to be up at 5.30am! Haha!

 

What I guess I'm saying is, I absolutely adore these books and will be so sad when they end, but also very fulfilled. I have every belief that Brandon will deliver the perfect ending we have all been waiting for!

 

I hope I haven't bored you too much with my ramblings and look forward to being a part of this amazing fanbase now and forever.

 

Remember,

One Day We All Wake From The Dream.

It is hard to put down books at night to sleep.

Hi Midnight Prancer!

 

Welcome to Dragonmount! I have to say that I'm a bit of a Sanderson fangirl and I like the books he wrote even more than Jordan's >.> But I did have an amazing opportunity to tour RJ's house and I have to say it was emotional even for me. I need to bug my brother to upload the pics we took so I can share them! I actually sat in the chair he sat in to write the books! (I am a bit addicted to exclamation points, I admit, but I'm working on it...promise!) Have you read any other Sanderson novels? I have stayed up late to read novels too, sometimes crouched in the bathroom so I wont bother anyone else because I have to finish the book that night. In fact I'm up really late for me because I was having fun posting on these forums! I really hope you stay and enjoy the site. I know it can be a bit overwhelming with all the choices but if you start small I know you'll find not only great people but a really fun place to be. If you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to pm me! I have a 2.5 year old niece I live with so I totally understand the 2-year old kid thing. (I also live with my two nephews, 16 months and 1 month). It can be difficult to get on I know but we'd love to see you whenever you get the chance!

Welcome to DM MP... I'm not afraid to tell you - i bawled like a baby when i read that RJ had passed away but i am absolutely stoked with BS, he has remained true to the feel of WoT but made it his own at the same time.
