Now that I've finished #TheWheelOfTime and gone back to reading "regular" books, I have a whole new appreciation for Robert Jordan's ability to create interesting characters and weave (🧐) them into a compelling story. I'll never complain about women who fold their arms under their breasts 47 times per chapter again.
...well okay I will because it's silly, but point is, the man could write, in a way that a lot of run-of-the-mill published authors cannot.
@ametonym@bookstodon I think I don't agree with that. I mean, sure there were a few typos that should have been fixed by better copy editing, and the story was certainly more complex than it needed to be in a few places, but neither of those detracted very much from my experience.
Or, I guess I should say, I don't think more aggressive editing would have made the books substantially better for me. I'd believe it could have done so for many other readers.
@ninsiana0@bookstodon For me it's the last book of the Wheel of Time series - I've been working on the series since January and it was my goal all along to get to the end this year
