You know JR Tolkien wrote a great story in 3 books, how could Jordon after 12 books still couldn't finish his story?! Mind you his books weren't short either they where quite long. You know if you put all of Tolkien 3 books together I think they equal one of Jordon longer books.

What I noticed is Jordon style changed in the middle of the series, he started adding a lot of detail that did not enhance the story just dragged it on. It became a choir to finish his books.
