Robert Jordan Dead!
Posted by Ray @ 10:26 pmThe author of the Wheel of Time series has finally bit the bullet.
I’ve mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, the first 6 (yes, shuddup, SIX) Wheel of Time books were the best things I’d ever read. They were engaging, lucid and paced with exquisitely torturous precision - anyone who has hit the final hundred pages of any of those books at 4AM at night will know what I am talking about.
On the other hand, his later books… well, sucked. Gone was the pacing, replaced by a meandering dialogue of 50 different things, 30 of them describing angsty dominatrix women in various states of angsty domineering.
So my anticipation for the final book of the series is not as high as it would have been, my disappointment not as deep. At this point all I want is some closure. And the man has to go and bite the bullet!
The good news is, the last book is likely to be cobbled together from the author’s detailed notes. Hopefully the person who brings the story together can restore some of the insane page-turnability that was the hallmark of the earlier books.
Hopefully.
RIP, Robert Jordan.
