Yeah is right! I love the Wheel of Time series. Jordan's descriptive writing is beautiful. I loved the pace, I loved how real the world he created seemed. I could'nt figure out how he would stay true to his style and finish in one more book. People said it was slow going, but the detail is what made it possible to read, and re-read. In a way, I'm not sorry that he didn't finish it. There was no rushed ending. I'll still reread the books that I have, wondering how Rand ends up as a wanderer after saving the world, how Matt loses an eye, and whether Jordan would have made any telling mythological references to the upcoming 4th age at the end of the final book.
