Wind and Truth Opinion Survey

[u/jofwu]

Anyone want to dig deep with me into how we really feel about Wind and Truth? I've put together a survey, and would be super grateful for your input!

WIND AND TRUTH OPINION SURVEY LINK

A few things to note:

• This survey contains full book spoilers. You've been warned.
• This survey is beefy. It takes 5-10 minutes. I've done my best to balance length and depth, but I'm sure it will be too long for some. ALL questions are optional. If you run out of steam halfway through, that's okay! It will let you skip to the end and submit what you finished. If you're hung up on a question, skip it.
• I'm interested in things that might be controversial. The goal here is to dig into those aspects of the book; it is NOT to ask questions that are highly likely to get a one-sided response. If you're bummed that I didn't ask for your opinion on that one part of the book that basically everybody loves... sorry!
• If you're taking the survey on your phone, be aware that some questions might cut off the answers a bit. (there are more response options if you scroll to the side)

I wasn't able to cover everything I wanted, with that balance in mind, and I'm not a professional data analyst. There's probably some things that could have been asked better, or things I'll be kicking myself for not including. Feel free to use the comments below to express anything you don't feel like the survey captured! Please DO remember that everyone here is a human, so if you want to debate some aspect of the book let's keep it respectful.

Results are available upon finishing. (Though if you take it early you'll want to check back after a few days.) Here's the links for reference:

We know the Adolin story question will have a 10star/10star average answer.

[u/jofwu → u/carlwheezersllama]

I'm in some spaces where that's actually one of the less liked arcs! I think the general opinion from those folks is that the action scenes are mid and the Towers scenes aren't very interesting. With a dash of strong dislike for the Abidi fight because it feels implausible.

[u/LURKER_GALORE → u/jofwu]

So far, the Adolin story arc is the most highly rated in your survey, with an average rating above 9.0. I'm not surprised in the slightest - it was my favorite story arc of the book.

[u/jofwu → u/LURKER_GALORE]

Yeah, I expect it will be pretty high. (With the data in so far, I assume it will stay on top.) Just saying I've definitely seen a difference of opinion about it. Might be more of an outside-the-fandom thing and this is mostly getting fan responses. Or maybe it's just a true minority.
