You should go read Permanence, and then we can have a proper discussion about the potential evolution of cooperative aliens and whether or not sentience is really the pinnacle of evolutionary accomplishment we egotistically assume it to be.
The Gathering Storm Review
As I’ve mentioned a few times before, Brandon Sanderson was tapped to finish Wheel of Time after Jordan passed away before he could finish it. I can think of few tasks more difficult or daunting than stepping in to finish another author’s masterpiece.
Planetfall Review
Maybe it’s unfair to expect every science fiction book I read to be on the same level as some of the greatest examples of the genre, but Planetfall barely even deserves to be shelved as science fiction.
Lord of Chaos Review
Mainly, this is another book about Rand, and Jordan again manages to convey both the sense that Rand is going mad, and how each step and action he takes is reasonable and logical for itself.
Unsympathetic Characters
The simplest advice for writing unsympathetic characters is to think of the traits that make it hard for you to sympathize with real people.
Stories To Tell
To say that we must tell the stories that are unique to us is to crimp ourselves. Don’t set out to tell the story that only you can tell. Set out to tell the story that you want to tell.
Wondrous Tales
All of this reflection, eventually, produced a name for the sense I had for what was missing in my writing and what unifies the pieces I enjoy the most: wonder.
The Three Musketeers Review
Don’t take the lack of character developments to mean that there is a lack of character.
Waybound Review
Waybound made for an excellent end to the Cradle journey, and I look forward to reading what Wight comes out with next.

It's why authors should spend more of their time thinking about limitations than capabilities, because that's where they'll find the most interesting stories.
