Now that Brandon is writing A Memory of Light, I was wondering which of those groups people liked best and why. I think it'd be interesting to see how the groups stack up against each other.
WoT is incredibly epic and very interesting but if I had my way, I'd have Sanderson not just write Memory of Light but re-write the entire WoT series.



Hands down the most absurd thing I have ever read on these boards. I love Sanderson's work but seriously?...Gaaah...The more I think on this the more obscene it becomes!!!

I somehow doubt he would care to do that.  I think being approached to write the final installment of WoT would be a great experience, but as an author with plenty of his own fresh ideas and active imagination, being asked to put a halt to his own works and rewrite something as long as WoT would in fact be a burden.
You can think without acting and you can act without thinking... but which is worse?

Well that, plus the fans would crucify him...not that its his decision anyway.

I picked Wolfbrother, not because they're the strongest or the most skilled, but because Perrin and Elyas are two of my favorite WoT characters.
I love them, too, and would like being one of them; I'd still rather be a channeler.

Yeah, the idea of Brandon rewriting any of the Wheel of Time books is just silly.

I'm just saying there's no reason anyone would kill him because it would never in a million years happen in the first place.

Agreed.

You know, I only learned of Mr. Sanderson because he was selected to finish WoT, but after starting to read some of his stuff, I'm more excited to see more of his original works than AMoL.  Not that I'm less of a WoT fan after reading Mistborn, but because his stuff is very creative and twisty, but with plenty of realism in it.  I read Mistborn and felt that that world could be, and now that I'm reading Mistborn 2, it just keeps building.

So while I calmly wait for Tarmon Gaidon, I anxiously await the next step in his career beyond WoT...

I think many of us do. Personally, I'm waiting for BS to finish (and publish) AMoL not just cuz I wanna read it, but cuz i wanna see what his next project will be.,

I'm pumped for Warbreaker.  Well, and the second half of MB2 and for MB3, since I haven't gotten that far yet, haha.

Ok i read the first several pages and I must say it depends on the channelers might. From what I hear ya'll are acting like Moraine is a normal strength channeler when she is super strong (New Spring she is the strongest in about 800 years) and most sisters are shocked that Elayne can pick up a cast iron laundry bucket filled with water in it with merely air. A strong channeller can send out a shockwave that kills everything in a 50m radius but thats freakish strong a weak channeler aka most common channelers that don't make even accepeted would be slaughtered by a mistborn... I choose the OP because of the sense of extreme life you would feel and its over all versitility :o
