That said, I haven't read any of them. Onodrim has, though, and I know she really enjoyed them.

I never knew he was ill.
I am sad to hear he has died. I am glad he had time to tidy up some loose ends. Not everyone is given that opportunity. Especially when there is such a strong and unified body of work like WOT, which really needs the author's hand on the helm in order to fulfill his vision in his way. Here was a huge gift from the fates - the man had enough warning to do what he could to ensure his legacy would be dealt with as he wished.
*edit - I am reading New Spring, and selfishly wish Jordan had spent the time working on finishing his master work instead of filling in a sidebar - i.e. writing extra books not directly related to his main story.
