Hi,
Jordan is the poster boy for what happens when the ability to publish outstrips the ability to write.

It became clear early on that the plot was thin and uninspired, almost a RPG plot. The characters were standard issue adventure types, right down to the 'mysterious lineage' bit, the few events portrayed were typical pulp cliffhangers, and the whole was wrapped in bales of cotton candy -- very sweet but unfilling.
Jordan suffers entirely from diarrhea of the word. He'll typically use a paragraph where a sentence will do and a sentence where a word will do. Pare the crap down Jordan. :P
