As far as I see it, Jordan is a hack. Brilliant writer, maybe, but his Wheel of Time series is merely a collected bunch of rip-offs of other works, compiled into some semblance of a story. Yes, rip-offs. From what I've read of Jordan, Tolkien and Herbert seem to be huge "influences". Tad Williams' "Otherland" series, on the other hand...
