![]() ![]() The Wheel of Time is a series of fantasy novels written by Robert Jordan and completed by Brandon Sanderson spanning 14 novels (15 if you include the prequel novella). Of course, everything I say is subjective… hough I don’t like to think of it that way. ![]() Anyone who tells you the series isn’t the greatest thing since the Bible either hasn’t read it, or should kindly be escorted back to the nursing home because their dementia is clearly getting worse. With author Patrick Rothfuss (who wrote another famous series, The Kingkiller Chronicle ), describing it as a monolith in the genre, and quoted as one of the largest reasons Brandon Sanderson (yet another famous author) got into writing in the first place, it’s no wonder it’s sold over 80 million copies. However, within the fantasy community, there are few series as lauded as The Wheel of Time. Outside of the fantasy community, there are a few very well known series: Lord of the Rings for its scope and the precedents it set for the genre Harry Potter for its appeal to young/more amateur readers and A Song of Ice and Fire for the absolute dumpster fire that was the Game of Thrones TV show. ![]()
