So apparently I started reading Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, almost finished the first book and initially my impressions are very positive. I have been a fan of J.R.R Tolkien's Middle Earth fantasy for a long time and was inclined to start this series after finding out that one of my favourite new novelists, Brandon Sanderson, took over the series at the request of his family in order to finish the story in the wake of Robert Jordan's passing in 2007. I read Sanderson's books a couple of years ago, his debut Elantris was an astounding book worthy of a read by any fantasy lover and his trilogy Mistborne was on an epic scale that rivals Tolkien's Lord of the Rings in both story telling and character building, you can become quite attached to his characters. Reflecting now I am quite surprised with how much influence Robert Jordan had on Brandon Sanderson's writing, which can clearly be seen in his own work, what with being a big fan of The Wheel of Time books.
So as I delve into this series, I am looking forward to seeing what great adventures Robert Jordan has moulded, it's a shame there are so few truly epic writers out there these days, at least not many that compare to what writers like Tolkien and Jordan have left us, though I'd say Brandon Sanderson is the next big thing.
