RIP Robert Jordan
Someone posted a comment in George RR Martin's LJ that Robert Jordan has died, and Wikipedia also shows his date of death as being today. The Wheel of Time website is being very slow, but there is a post dated today at 430ish eastern, that I'm loading. And it's true. He died at 2:45 pm today.
What is sickening is that around that time today, I was talking with some friends about his sickness and that it was likely that he wouldn't finish the book before he died. It just makes me a little queasy to think that coincidences like that happen. But of course, there is no way I could have known he was laying on his deathbed at that very moment. Bizarre.
Here's to hoping that the final book is somehow completed. But most importantly, my condolences and best wishes go out to his wife Harriet and the rest of his family.
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend.
Robert Jordan gave birth to a legend, and in doing so, became one.
