Wheel of Time Author, Robert Jordan, Passes On

Robert Jordan, author of a seemingly endless Wheel of Time series, died peacefully on Sunday afternoon. He had been ill with amyloidosis for some time so the end was not a surprise. Fans of the series expressed sadness as Jordan’s death and frustration with the lack of conclusion to the series.

RIP JOrdan.

    I posted a link on The Good, The Bad this morning, on Lawson’s post about this, but it’s my understanding there’s one book left and while it’s not written, he did leave all necessary info in the form of taped “interviews” so that someone could potentially write it.

    I have to admit, it’s always been my fear with this series that this would happen. I’m sure it was probably his as well, and not how he would have chosen to do it! He does leave an awesome legacy of epic fantasy behind, though.
