Just yesterday I learned of Robert Jordan's death. My eyes are filled with tears as I type. So many of the best have passed on and Mr. Jordan is high on the list of the best. My prayers and sympathies to the family. Robert Jordan will be greatly missed.

Ahhh, I only heard about this now. Mr. Rigney, aka Robert Jordan, was an incredible author and I am grateful to him for sharing a part of himself with all of us through his many books. He has been an inspiration to me to put onto paper the ideas floating around in my own head, and every time I re-read my much-loved copies of his books I find something I had never noticed before. He is missed.

I AM SO SORRY all over again. I have not read a book again since 1998. The knife of dreams brings all my old friends and enemies back. I am over sixty now and will read all books again in series. I await your final novel with bated breath. Please know your fan base extends across all age groups.

I love the lord of the rings, Terry Goodkind's series about the confessors and Richard, but no one excels except R. Jordan. All my love and respect, Travis Noblett

Rest in Peace Jordan!

I hope you had Jesus in your mind, then the saga will end in heaven!

/Bless

I have often told many people that if you think that these books of fantasy don't have any real meaning then you surely need to read them. A person can learn so much about our Lord and the way that we should all try to live our lives. The "Wheel of Time" series along with Terry Goodkind's "Sword of Truth" and Tolkens' "Lord of the Rings" are all examples of how each of us should live in the Light.

You have touched my life in so many way. Thank you for the teachings.

May the Peace of the Lord be with you Robert and family.

I have just learned. My heart in mourning :(

i've just heard. such a loss. i have read and re-read his books a dozen times. it has inspired me to strong in times of adversity.

I started reading The Wheel of Time in 1989 when I was in 6th grade. I have read and re-read many times. These books have become family and friends to me over the years, I cannot express my gratitude, my heart and prayers are with the family.

Thanks for the memories RJ.

Upon learning of Mr. Jordans passing, a sadness came over me . It was like losing a friend I had known for years. I have read and reread these books over the years, and Im always amazed that I learn something new everytime. What a wonderful gift he had, the literary world has lost one of the great writers. May peace and love fill his families life.....Rest in peace.

Years ago, just before I was married I started to read the series. After I was married in 99 I stopped reading the series, I don't even remember where I left off. It's strange but over the years the characters are still in my head, just waiting for me to pick up a book so they can finish their journey.

Tonight I came back to this site I had saved a year back, I had this urge to find what book I left off on so that I may continue the journey of the Dragon.

I can't say more about how sad I feel at this moment to learn of Jordans passing. I have not read that many books in my life, and the main reason I started reading the wheel of time was that someone handed it to me.

I feel such a need now to start reading the series again, as soon as I can afford to purchase the books I am going to start reading the series again from book 1.

Although it has been months, my prayers go out to all those who were close to Mr. Jordan. You must be so proud to have his work touch so many.

I WAS NEVER AN AVID READER UNTILL MY COUSIN GAVE ME A WHEEL OF TIME BOOK SICNE THAT TIME I HAVE READ ALL OF HIS BOOKS AMONG SEVERAL OTHERS I WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO HIS FAMILY WHAT A GREAT AUTHOR AND MAN HE WAS AND HOW SAD I AM THAT HE HAS LEFT NOT JUST YOU BUT ALL OF HIS READERS MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND MAKE ALL YOUR LIVES HAPPY

I have just read of the death of Robert Jordan, my husband is the one who bought me the first book of the Wheel of Time series, when we started dating in 2002, since then I read them all and always looked forward to the next one. I knew of Mr. Jordan's illness and was praying for him and hoping for a good outcome. Sadly that was not the case and I am so sorry for his family's loss. We will never find out how the series ends but we sure did have one hell of a ride getting this far thanks to his wonderful story telling. May he sleep in peace and may God keep him safe.

As readers we may mourn the passing of a favourite author, but it is nothing when compared to losing one's own. All there is right to do is to extend my heartfelt sorrow at Mr. Jordan's passing for the sake of his loved ones and offer a prayer that they may find comfort and healing.

It is not for those passed that we grieve, but for the spaces they leave in our lives and hearts when they go. There was a time when Robert Jordan was not in the world. That time has come again. I am grateful for having lived while he was in it - even though I only knew him through his writing.

May blessings and love be ever with his family and loved ones. The rest of us have been left with a world in which his powerful, poetic voice will always resonate telling a story without end. A mighty gift, that.

It's very strange how different facets of people's lives can touch one another so easily and grandious with words and story, and yet I find that Robert Jordans writing did just that. I've read thousands of books and to always have one author stick out in my head, the way Robert Jordan did, is truly remarkable and an acknowledgement of just how astounding his work was.

You can't imagine the sorrow I feel for his family, fellow writers, and readers. My condolences to everyone who had a chance to experience the way a true master can express his imagination in mere words.

I find myself feeling grief, even though I've only known the man through his literature, and thus I can imagine what the ones closest to him feel.

Death is a sorrow filled time, but I've always thought it was the one last and greatest adventure that every human has to take; and so I wish him well and may those who loved him find solace in his words, passion, and obvious love he had for his friends and family.

Truly a literary genius has left us.

I spent a few months reading The Wheel of Time. A good author can make the characters real to you, a death is an emotionally draining experiance if the character was developed properly. The death of a good author is even more so in this respect. This death is sad, but we can not let this monumental tragity dull our lives. Mourning is never the answer, remember him and buy his books so that something of him will go on into the future, but never be handicaped by your sorrow.

I have read Tolkien, The "Chronicles of Thomas Covenant". And many other epic fantasy series and sci-fi series. Robert Jordan was the best. I read the first book. When the 2nd came out, I re-read the first and second straight thru. I collected books 3, 4, 5 before going back and re-reading one & two & then 3, 4 & 5. I re-did that process at book eight. And again at 10.

So I have re-started reading the series 5 times. I have been waiting for the "last" book to start over again. I have been sitting on the last two books not having read them yet. I guess I will go ahead and start over again now and read them all thru as one great long story. They seem to get better each and everytime I read them. Robert Jordan, I will sorely miss you. You were the best.

I am just 13 but I have read the first 10 of his books. I love and have enjoyed them so much so when my Father (who has also read the books) told me that Robert Jordan had passed away I couldn't hope but be upset. One of my dreams was to go see him but I guess that will not happen. I am sorry to all his family and close friend. He was a great man. He was my hero and he was the best author. His books were so deep, it was amazing one man wrote it. I thank him for the amount of work he must have given to every sentence.

My best wishes for his family and friends. If you are anything like Robert then you can pull through. Let the light be with you.

I first read one of RJ's books about 7 years ago, when my boyfriend was so tied up in the WoT series that he'd bring the books on DATES. I had to know what was so special about these books that they'd take so much of his attention... Since I first picked up his copy of Eye of the World, I've been hooked. I can't get enough of RJ's world, of the people and places he created so vividly, I almost expect to find them on a map one day.

As for THIS world.... It will be quite a long time before someone can match RJ in the depth and creativity he had hidden away in his mind... if anyone can EVER match it. He will be greatly missed by millions, myself among them.

RIP, i will never forget you

There are no words I can think of to describe how I felt upon hearing of Robert Jordan's death. I am rereading Wheel of Time again in memory of him, and I get teary eyed easily when I remember that such a great writer has left us. After I finish each book I have to sit for a moment and ponder on his amazing writing ability and how the world has surely lost one of its best authors. It warms my heart to know he left peacefully, and in the company of his loved ones. I only wish I had had the chance to meet such an amazing man. You will be forever missed...

I'am filled with sadness from the loss of a great and inspiering man such as RJ. I have been reading all of the translated books from the wheel of time and i can't describe the pure joy i'ts been giving me. I can't believe "the wheel is broken" i will miss his writing. My condolences goes out to the close and loved ones of RJ.

I've been captivated by Robert Jordan's books all my life... I'm very sad that he has passed away, especially before completing his magnum opus...
