Rest in Peace Robert Jordan
While reading Google News today, I was shocked to learn that one of my favourite fantasy authors, Robert Jordan, had passed away on Sunday. I knew the guy was sick with a rare blood disease, but I was under the impression that he was getting along okay. Needless to say, I'm feeling kind of sad.
Not only did I lose one of my favourite authors, but the guy also died before finishing the last book in the Wheel of Time series. Not to sound insensitive or anything, but damn. I've been reading this series since about 8th grade, and now I might never find out how it ends.
In all likelihood though, his wife will probably finish it for him, from his notes and audio recordings. At least I hope so.
Anyway, the world of fantasy literature has certainly lost one of it's greatest authors.
Rest in peace RJ.
