I can echo this thought, except that despite the joking I have continued on through Jordan's monstrous series, determined to see it through to the end. No matter what people thought of his writing, you have to admire someone who can create something on this scale. He took world-building to a whole new level. The world of fantasy fiction will be poorer for his premature departure.
