I wasn’t saying King and his are the same quality, just that the speed of writing is similar. With that said King writes his fair share of cringe dialogue.

- trey-jones 5y agoI have only ever read the Wheel of Time by Sanderson, but the dialogue was enough to convince me I never needed to bother with him again. Meanwhile, I find King to be probably the best American English writer that I've encountered. By that I'm really only talking about his use of the language, and what a pleasure it is to read. And of course, dialogue is a part of that. This is all subjective of course - that's just how I feel about it.
- lmm 5y agoSanderson didn't write much of the Wheel of Time, only the very end after the (main) author died.
- TylerE 5y agoI mean, his name is only on 2,700 pages of it.
- lmm 5y agoWhich sounds like a lot, but the full series is over 10,000.
- trey-jones 5y agoI really hate to be a guy that's like "I know", but come on, I obviously know that. The dialogue was good from Jordan, bad from Sanderson. In my opinion. Thus my statements above.
- lmm 5y agoEven if you know that, what you wrote is misleading to anyone else reading who doesn't know the details.
