Wheel of Time S3

Started the final book today! Thought Towers of Midnight was very solid, but suffered a bit from not having Jordan writing it (Gathering Storm I felt was spot on to Jordan's style/tone).

You know what, that's really funny because of the two books Towers of Midnight is apparently more of Jordan's own text than Gathering Storm is (the Tower of Genji sewuence is entirely writtenby Jordan, for instance), though frankly one of the main reasons Sanderson was chosen to finish these is that he actually has a pretty similar writing style in general. He read Eye of the World before Lord of the Rings, so Jordan's wa s primary stylistic influence.

The general consensus is that Sanderson's Rand and Perein are pitch perfect across all three boosk, but yoy van sort of tell when a Mat chapter was written by Jordan or Sanderson.

As a side note given today's news, can't help thinking that BLeeM is going to attempt something on the scale of WoT with Campaign 4 of Critical Role. He'll certainly have about as many important protagonists

You know what, if it goes on long enough, yeah.

BLeeM

LOL I had no idea people called him that, that's amazing.

I have serious reservations about this 13-person 3-group plan he has but hey, I guess we'll see.

Ha, yeah they had to figure out something since BM and BLM were taken for very differ t concepts.

as for the 13/3. Yeah it’s ambitious, and I give everyone props for even attempting it. It’s either gonna be a masterpiece or explode from within.
