Robert JordanRobert Jordan passed this week due to an ongoing illness… there’s a simple write-up over at the Times.Jordan was an amazing author, I was enthralled with the Wheel of Time series when I was a kid. I read through the first five of them, but really just loved books one through three. He was the perfect author to encounter when I was in my tweens/early teens and brought all of my love of fantasy to life in new and vibrant ways.
