Robert Jordan, RIP

We lost another one, damnit. I understand that he had been quite ill for quite.

I was never a huge fan (I firmly believe the whole series could have been wrapped up 5 books ago), but for better or worse, he proved to the big guns that huge, epic fantasy series could sell and could sell well.  

...but I do wonder who'll get the unenviable task of finishing up the Wheel of Time series? I mean, I gave up on it quite a while back but it seems to me that one really solid book could tie up all the loose ends.

I remember when I was twelve, picking up the first book . . . and then have both my sister and my mom tell me, maybe I should wait for the whole series to be finished. Good advice I suppose, especially since I'm out of college now and the series still hasn't been finished.

I did read over at grrm's that his son has been involved in the books and that Jordan told him how it was supposed to end before he died. Here's hoping it gets finished.
