Jordan was a truly great author.

I still remember being in a newspaper stand/book store, one of those narrow convoluted type hole in the wall places and my friend at the counter said that the pile of "thick" paperbacks on the counter were free. It was part of the first Wheel of Time book.

I was completely hooked from then on and worried when Sanderson got the nod to finish the series from Jordan's wife who lived in Charleston. I knew Sanderson's work and didn't care for it particularly, but he did a fair job on the last of the series.
