Books in Order: Delving into the World of Robert Jordan
An Blossom of the Author
Our journey begins with the renowned author, James Oliver Rigney Jr., who brought to life the fantastical world of literature under the pen name, Robert Jordan (1948-2007). This American literary maestro is recognized for his prolific body of fantasy novels and donned several pseudonyms throughout his career, such as Reagan O’ Neal and Jackson O’ Reilly.
The centerpiece of Jordan’s literary career is undisputedly The Wheel of Time series, but his genesis as a writer sprouted with The Fallon Blood, written under the name Reagan O’ Neal. He further enriched his portfolio with two more additions to the Fallon series and even ventured into scripting for the Conan the Barbarian series.
The Unique Writing Style of Robert Jordan
One thing that set Jordan apart was his indomitable sense of character development and intricate plot weaving. The grand tapestry of his tales paints a vivid and captivating picture, drawing readers into unique realms of fantasy he created.
The Iconic Wheel of Time Series
The Wheel of Time series, launched in 1990 with The Eye of the World, is a testament to Jordan’s unique storytelling skills. However, due to Jordan’s untimely death, the baton for concluding the Wheel of Time series was passed on to Brandon Sanderson.
