Robert Jordan is a remarkably talented author who was gained a huge amount of recognition, not to mention wealth and worship, for his The Wheel of Time Series. This series of books establishes a fantasy world like no other. There are no complete good guys, only people acting in their best interest. Even the Dragon, who is prophesised to save the world from the Dark One is also suppossed to break it in the process. It is a starkly realistic world. Jordan approaches magic in a completely different way than any previous author and its a very detailed approach. The series is rather long, and is not yet finished. The plot lines are detailed and complex and always twist around in on themselves. It is a plot in which great attention is given to detail. On the whole Jordan is a remarkable talented author and one well worth reading. Feel free to follow some of the Jordan-related links below.
