I imagine I'll read the next one sometime this year, though I'm not sure when I'll get around to full series plus a series review.

On par and probably a little better than TGS and quite a bit better than TOM.

I have read all WOT books to date,but i'm not a "fan" nor a "hater".For me WOT was mediocre fro start to finish, with the latter books by Jordan sliding into bad territory.But the first two Sanderson books were a return to form, mediocre to good. How do you find Memory of Light compaired to the previous two? Better? Worse?<br />Is a satisfying book on its own merits for someone who isn't invested in the series nor waiting for the end with agony?Thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17224228.post-60934650483709433902013-01-22T12:25:46.172-07:002013-01-22T12:25:46.172-07:00@Anon

I'm not surprised that they didn't like it. But I did like it a lot and I explain it well in my review.<br /><br />A large part of why I like AMOL and WOT comes down to nostalgia, the role it's played in my life and the number of times I've read and reread the books. Is the writing of <i>Forge of Darkness </i> superior - yes. But I still 'liked' AMOL better. If that makes any sense.Nethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963540055415924510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17224228.post-30401467185208746212013-01-22T09:39:38.367-07:002013-01-22T09:39:38.367-07:00Haven't read Memory of Light but it is not get...Haven't read Memory of Light but it is not getting very good reviews in many of the sites I frequent (OFBlog, Pats, Iceberg Ink). The reviews are actually turning me off from buying the hardcover. I may just wait for a cheaper e-book version.<br /><br />Based on what I read in the reviews and the quality of writing in the 2nd half of the series, I would not have placed it above Forge of Darkness, but that's just my reading preference. <br /><br />Will have a better view once I make myself buy the e-book (when it comes out), although my expectations have been lowered significantly... <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17224228.post-17417002408478004372013-01-21T21:52:00.462-07:002013-01-21T21:52:00.462-07:00Not an oversight.
