Robert Jordan
671 books17.3k followersLibrarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
Robert Jordan was the pen name of James Oliver Rigney, Jr., under which he was best known as the author of the bestselling The Wheel of Time fantasy series. He also wrote under the names Reagan O'Neal and Jackson O'Reilly.
Jordan was born in Charleston, South Carolina. He served two tours in Vietnam (from 1968 to 1970) with the United States Army as a helicopter gunner. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with bronze oak leaf cluster, the Bronze Star with "V" and bronze oak leaf cluster, and two Vietnamese Gallantry Crosses with palm. After returning from Vietnam he attended The Citadel where he received an undergraduate degree in physics. After graduating he was employed by the United States Navy as a nuclear engineer. He began writing in 1977. He was a history buff and enjoyed hunting, fishing, sailing, poker, chess, pool, and pipe collecting.
He described himself as a "High Church" Episcopalian and received communion more than once a week. He lived with his wife Harriet McDougal, who works as a book editor (currently with Tor Books; she was also Jordan's editor) in a house built in 1797.
Responding to queries on the similarity of some of the concepts in his Wheel of Time books with Freemasonry concepts, Jordan admitted that he was a Freemason. However, "like his father and grandfather," he preferred not to advertise, possibly because of the negative propaganda against Freemasonry. In his own words, "no man in this country should feel in danger because of his beliefs."
On March 23, 2006, Jordan disclosed in a statement that he had been diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis, and that with treatment, his median life expectancy was four years, though he said he intended to beat the statistics. He later posted on his Dragonmount blog to encourage his fans not to worry about him and that he intended to have a long and fully creative life.
He began chemotherapy treatment at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, in early April 2006. Jordan was enrolled in a study using the drug Revlimid just approved for multiple myeloma but not yet tested on primary amyloidosis.
Jordan died at approximately 2:45 p.m. EDT on September 16, 2007, and a funeral service was held for him on Wednesday, September 19, 2007. Jordan was cremated and his ashes buried in the churchyard of St. James Church in Goose Creek, outside Charleston.

The Wheel of Time books are an immense work. Comparable to the Game of Thrones but perhaps not quite as ambitious or as out of control. I read all nine books plus the later written introduction that tells the early story of Moraine.
I liked them all. Some are better than others. The best kept everything moving; the worst rehashed previously told stories perhaps to support a book read out of sequence.
The writing is very clean and easy to read; Robert Jordan is an excellent writer. The Covid-19 lockdown made it pretty easy; there wasn’t much else to do. I was able to track the many characters even when I put the books down for a week or more. I read the whole series in about four months. I spent a lot of that time reading.
There is no question that Mr Jordan spends a lot of energy writing of men and women. He writes from a chauvinistically male point of view. I enjoyed it, but I’m an old-fashioned fellow. It may not appeal to more sensitive readers.
I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys fantasy and likes to spend a lot of time reading.

Well it took me over 2 years but I finally made my way through this muddled, confusing, sexist, 1 dimensional feminine stereotyping romp. Woo Hoo!
It’s funny. I really care about the 3 main characters and the primary plot line but there are so many characters that repeat the same things over and over that they really all blend together. By the time I got to the end of the 8th book I was like “who is this person? Do they matter?” The answer is always “no.”
Seriously you could chop out 2000+ pages of this 4 book series and have a great story. Looking at you editor.
But I’m not a quitter. Apparently Sanderson reels some of this in in the later books. 🤞

draws you in
At first I felt the story moved too slowly but then I appreciated the attention to detail and rich descriptions and was glad that there was more to read. But still get totally lost with all the characters.

Great series to get lost in.
A great continuation of the series. Easy to get lost in for hours, and days. Recommend to anyone. Will for sure want to follow this series to the end.

Good story that could’ve been shorter
The first four books were good and made you want to continue. The 5-9 had way too much mundane detail that you tended to skim. Repeating way too much from book to book. Still a good story that I want to finish already.

The books are very goog. He jumps too much from one character to the next and makes it too difficult to follow the plot.
