Just curious, would people want to see sequels- such as the story of mat+tuon? or would they feel it wrong to write in jordans world?

Im personally sad the wot story is over so would welcome more stories.

I do get what people are saying about there being lots of fights and relatively little characterization ...however i think weve had 13 books of characterization and already 'know' these people well?

^^ AGREE at a feeling of sadness that it is over

I will grant you rothfuss is excellent by the way (apologies if im taking it off topic). Although waiting god knows how long for the third book is hard ;)

I will admit i skipped books 8-11 of wot this reread, so my memory is not as good for those.

However what i remember was i found certain characters so annoying that i would get bored and desperate for the POV to change to those characters i did like.

But, everyone has different taste, and the series is definitely a masterpiece overall.

oh to elaborate, by bloat i meant the endless descriptions of clothing / women sniffing at each other etc.

If i have any critism of jordan it would be his handling of many female characters.

I know im not an expert on all the books like many here, but that is how i felt.

I dont know if its because i signed up with facebook- but quoting isnt working for me and neither are line breaks, apologies for any walls of text.

I can only go by personal feelings mate.

For me, ive reread the series maybee 8 times (except amol)- i always did a reread when a new book came out.

I loved 1-7, for me books 8 to 11 werent the best (10 was the worst).

I loved all of sandersons 3 books though, but it may be a case of differing tastes, i devoured 'the way of kings' which i know is not to everyones taste...

@Suttree for me the biggest bloat was around book 8 to book 11?

am i really the only one who found them hard going? ESPECIALLY book 10 which i admit i skim read.

spoilers below...just being safe

SPOILERS BELOW, BIG ONES

I loved it, ironically the first 1/5th of the book was underwhelming for me- then it seemed to pick up.

Loved

Lan's duel with Demandred

Noal returning to save olver

The sudden appearance of borderlanders at lans 'last charge'

The whole concept of a village of turned channelers was a surprise for me.

Thom!!! his casual killing of the darkfriends, while writing an epic ;)

Neutral to

Faile- just never took to her

Elayne being put in charge of the armies- i just though "nooooo" she has always been a lead fave character

Androl- i just didnt have time to care for him...and more androl meant less mat etc.

A few plot lines didnt make sense, for example i couldnt understand why they didnt use the lava trick on a larger scale with a full circle?

And i was unconvinced demandred would not know where rand was... everyone else seemed to know where he was?
