About the author
Robert Jordan
670 books17.2k 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.

Yep...first 3-5 books are great...then they wander and wander and add characters and get bogged down. by book seven it is unbearable.

I love the Wheel of Time series, and enjoy it (gasp) more than Tolkien. I believe it's a must-read for fans of modern epic fantasy. The series proceeds at a measured pace that can at times feel slow due to the detail, color and world-building of the narrative as well as the often long internal monologues of the multitude of well-developed and realistic characters. A Crown of Swords felt this way more than most of the books though the end is quite action-packed, while the Path of Daggers seemed more of a short bridge to Winter's Heart, where lots of action and storyline development again takes place.

This is what epic fantasy is all about

The Wheel of time started well, but I felt the idea was drawn out too far over too many episodes.
Some of the books just seem to be treading water, with not much happening. Also some of the characters begin to feel a bit similar later on.
However, the first one shows a lot of promise and is worth a read.

Literally remember nothing from the series other than I read them up to 11 or something. I don't even remember which Mötley group of wandering heroes it is anymore, however they're marginally better than most too gritty or generic Tolkien rips that are out there. I did enjoy them.

Wow. Just wow. Greatest series of books ever. I never thought there could be a better epic fantasy than The Hobbit and Robert Jordan has done it. Will read again and again.

Alanna is full of meme material. Seriously though, the series iss amazing. It took me about a month to red the full series, but I love the entire thing.
