News Article. A pity, I had heard and read naught but good reviews of his main works, and now it appears he has gone and hit the bucket before he could finish his series. |

I hadn't read his stuff, but think I had read something he wrote awhile ago about how he knew he was dying and was trying to finish the books before then. Shame he passed on so soon. =/ |

I haven't had the chance to read his stuff but after having a quick look around, they looked like a good series. It's unfortunate that he had to pass away so soon. |

To be honest, most reviews of his recent stuff I've read haven't been favourable. Indeed, one person I spoke to joked about Jordan being a closet cross dresser, that being an explanation for his attention to detail over the female casts clothing. Never read it though, and I do think it's a sad day for fantasy when someone so popular and widespread dies. |

Terrible shame that. I hope that what he completed will be released in some form or another, it doesn't seem right to leave the series when it was so near completion. |
