Anyway, this is tempting me to "catch up", except I'd have to read them all from the top, and that's a mighty slab of pulp.

Yeah but it would be better if he did more of the "fucking people up" and less of the "think about anything except Berelain's legs" guilty repression trips.

i finally finished nine, which was fucking tedious and terrible.
read "A Game of Thrones" by George R. R. Martin instead. First book in the best fantasy series of the decade.

Yeah, i think I started in 1994! I have not read a fantasy book in yonks I think. And yet i am vaguely pondering the impending release date with anticipation...

"Q: What is the worst lie you've ever told?A: It's hard to think of one since I am genetically incapable of lying to women and that takes out 52% of the population right there."
"Q: If you could have one superpower what would it be?A: That depends. If I'm feeling altruistic, it would be the ability to heal anything with a touch, if that can be called a superpower. If I'm not feeling very altruistic, it would be the ability to read other people's minds, to finally be able to get to the bottom of what they really mean and what their motivations are. "
Also, worst cover yet!

No it was 1992! That is wrong.
I now won't start a fantasy series until all the books have been published. So I'm denying myself the GRR Martin and the Stephen Erikson books that are meant to be really good.
I delude myself into thinking that Jordan means it when he says that it'll all be finished in the next couple of books and that one day I can go back to it and read the whole thing from beginning to end.
― Greig (treefell), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 13:06 (eighteen years ago) link
I've been tempted, over the years, to write to Jordan informing him of these strange things called "editors". It's been 15 years and he still hasn't got anywhere near the bloody point, I know kids who are reading them who weren't born when the first one was published. And I'm also sick of his characters being trapped in permanent adolescence or (in the case of his female characters) permanent PMS.

so
you're saying
that you prefer
literally three books of perrin doing nothing but stewing
― mookieproof, Monday, 20 June 2022 00:20 (one year ago) link
perrin's definitely the weakest of the 3. i think there's a whole book in the golden middle of the series where he doesn't even appear? after the 'return to the shire' bit and before faile gets captured.
it's funny that rj developed this 'am i going to go bestial and insane - how did elyas stop it' plotline for him early on and then it vanished completely. elyas even came back and they just smell each other for a few chapters.

ohhhh lord darragh ned please talk to this sucker cause they killing rand al'thor they taking the pain and struggle of life of the dragon reborn the only thing we coulda express our minds and pain. and these suckers took it and made it look like garbage thats why we get judge so much cause these shit dont be making sence
― mookieproof, Monday, 20 June 2022 02:55 (one year ago) link
The best example I can think of of a fantasy author completely losing control of the narrative. I suppose his health problems contributed, but I don't think he had any idea how to end it.
By the way, who killed Asmodean?
