Wheel of Time —

Robert Jordan's journey into fantasy writing is best shown in the Wheel of Time. The first books in the series quickly set the plot into motion, ever twisting throughout it. The series develops a wonderfully created world, with the major negative of the series being the ultimate wordiness. Books 7-9 (approxomately) stand still, not adding much to the story in the long run. Finally, with Jordan having died before writing the final volume, it remains to be seen if anyone can carry on his legacy.
