A great loss to lovers of fantasy. His imagination was so incredible, his books full of twists and turns. Like Annastasia I was so looking forward to Book 12. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends, he must have been fantastic to know - he comes across as someone with a lively mind and sharp wit. What a privilege it must have been to known him, I wish I did.

I’m so very sorry to hear of his passing, I have read many of his books and feel great sorrow for his family. His inspiration and imagination has blessed many people with great books that deliver you to bold and fantastic realms. To his family I say that he was a man loved by any who read his books and that I am so sorry for your loss. To lose a man like him is a great shame.
May his soul rejoin the wheel in peace and may his family be blessed under the light.

for someone who was introduced to the robert jordan series only recently… who gobbled up his eleven books in 3 months… for someone from India a far far away from his world… it is as if a whole world around me has been crushed…i hope his family or his fans wont let him be forgotten…there was only one R.J… and there wont be another….
