Hi, I've just started reading the 'eye of the world' world books by Robert Jordan, and I have to say they're great and have really ignited my interest in reading again.
I've just finished The Shadow Rising (the 4th one) and was wondering can somebody please tell me (if it doesn't give anything away) if there were still the Ajahs for male Aes Sedais in the age of legends.

Because like the red Ajah is about stilling men that can channel, so that one clearly was very different or not there when there were Aes Sedai.

Thanks for your help if anybody knows Smile

Benddragonbrown--

Offhand I can't answer your question, but if you Google "Wheel of Time" you'll find all sorts of sites devoted to the novels.

Did you know Robert Jordan died last week?

It's very sad that he died. He was a remarkable author.

His last book is left unwritten, which was to describe the one thing all the books were leading to (the last battle between good & evil, so to speak).

According to remarks by Jordan and, most recently, his cousin Wilson in the blog post just before this terrible announcement, it seems that lately Jordan had shifted away from trying to complete Memory of Light outright and instead prepared detailed plot outlines, drafted out key scenes, and told his wife Harriet and his cousin what he intended to happen in the last book.

p.s. In case you wondered, he has been dictating the plot and stuff of the last "Wheel of Time" novel and it will be published eventually.

(And you thought that series was never going to be over ... well, come to think of it, Dune went on and on even after its creator died ...)

I was wondering if something like that would happen.

Jordans skill lay in two a number of area's :

-A breathtakingly complex plot that rarely had any inconsistencies (I've never seen anything to match it)
-distinctive cultures as the plot travelled across countries (to such an extent that you can identify new characters country of origin by their language, dress, or mannerisms)
-distinctive characters with their own quirks and character development
-an eye for incredible detail (which not everyone likes)

On the down side he did tend to waffle with subplots that were irrelevent to the overall plot (or didn't need 300 pages dedicated to said subplots)

NO!
I had no idea that he died.

How gutted am I right now.
Quite a bit sad.

Well lets hope the conclusion of what would have happened somehow gets out. Smile

Brian Sanderson has been chosen to complete the WOT series.

I've read two of his books (and have a third waiting on my To Read shelf). He tells a good, fast-moving yarn.
