The Wheel of Time

The Wheel of Time is a fantasy Book series written by Robert Jordan, notable for the extreme density of its plotting, the intricate detail of its imaginary world, and the lifelike complexity of relationships and interactions between characters, both individually and collectively. It is interesting that Jordan did not gave much effort in creating names in the series, but used names and words of foreign languages, or even English, starting with Shai-tan himself, and especially visible in names of Trolloc clans.

When asked how many more books the series will contain, the author has been quoted as saying "Not less than 3 more" (as of book 9).
