minus-squaremysteriousquote@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·5 months agoThe most frustrating incomplete series ever. I can’t even recommend the first two books to people in good conscience anymore.

minus-squareTheRealKuni@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·5 months agoI absolutely love Brandon Sanderson. He’s my favorite author. So keep that in mind when I say this: I don’t think Brandon Sanderson is up to the task of mimicking Rothfuss’s prose.
minus-squarerockerface🇺🇦@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·5 months agoHe definitely can’t mimic the style. Just as he couldn’t mimic Robert Jordan. But he could write the last 3 books of the Wheel of Time in his own style.

minus-squarerockerface🇺🇦@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·5 months agoThat is true, but I’d rather have a Sanderson-style finisher than none at all
