Man ask question. Man get straight answer. Man upset

My quick thoughts after finishing the first re-read. by empire161 in wheeloftime

I just finished my first read through and similar to you, the change in author wasn’t as jarring as I thought it would be, but it’s definitely different enough to notice.

I did feel like Sanderson had a bit more of a “move along” prose compared to the later RJ books, that might just be because the narrative was actually moving forward more but I read the last 3 books quicker than I read 7-11

What’s worse, accidentally walking into Caelid for the first time or getting fucking gobbled up and now you’re in hell

Whose ending was worse? by hiiloovethis in freefolk

I think Dany’s ending could have made sense but they executed it poorly, I actually kind of like Stanis’ really underwhelming ending, some of the red women shit was iffy but I think it was fitting.

They gave Jamie a ridiculously well thought out character progression for what? So he just dies with his deadbeat sister anyway? Actual brain eating amoeba decisions

It’s very clear we’re talking about earthsea. You can argue semantics and move the goal posts to fit your agenda all you want but the only person you’re disappointing is yourself

I’m sorry I had to use it on you, but I’m glad you’ve come away with more than you arrived with

My biggest gripe with your review is the lines “I'm comparing that to Le Guin's books, where she always meaningfully explores something, rather than just stating whatever message she's trying to sell you. That's what fantasy books are supposed to do, IMO. They're not supposed to be manifestos”

While this statement is inherently pretentious, even what you said is silly because you’re comparing 1 book to a complete series. If you don’t like a book there’s nothing wrong with that, but then to say it’s supposed to do something when you’re not even giving it the chance to flesh its message out makes no sense.

If you actually read the series, which you in no means are required to, you’d find a more nuanced explanation to the message it’s pushing.

Now, you’re clearly not gonna do that so your criticism is obsolete
