Robert Jordan is one of the best-known authors in the history of the fantasy genre for his work on The Wheel of Time. Unfortunately, Mr. Jordan passed away before the series was completed, and the torch was passed to Brandon Sanderson. The large-scale fantasy series is now finished, with 14 books along with a prequel novel. Brandon Sanderson was chosen by the late author’s wife to complete the final three books in the series.
The Wheel of Time is a piece of literature that creates an entire universe to envelop its readers. Its premise is based on the main character learning that he is the reincarnation of the Messiah, and only he can stop the evil Dark One. The novels tell the story of an entire world that is struggling to survive and stop its pending destruction.
The first novel in the series, The Eye of the World, was published in 1990 and it, along with all subsequent novels, hit number one on the New York Times Bestseller list and have been in continuous publication since their release.
