Sadly
Robert Jordan died today, after suffering from a long illness.
Whilst I appreciate that death is probably a reasonable excuse to not finish a series of books, there are going to be an awful lot of people, myself included, who have invested a lot of time into "The Wheel of Time" who shall now be lacking a payoff...
How very inconsiderate of him. It's remarkably like when *another* of my TV shows gets cancelled, which is, one of my least favourite things and frankly think there should be some kind of contractual obligation to finish any series which starts to air (though obviously this is a foolish concept indeed).
