Robert Jordan built on themes popularized by J.R.R. Tolkien. His Wheel of Time series features a band of unlikely heroes, on a journey to discover themselves as well as to save the world from a rising evil. Adventure, a melancholy tone, magic, and a bleak atmosphere, create a world similar in feel to Tolkien's Middle Earth. -- Krista Biggs
Fans of Robert Jordan will find Orson Scott Card offers similar themes: young protagonists faced with impossible choices in battles against evil. Young heroes responsible for saving the world, an impossible quest, adventures, and often a melancholy tone fill Card's fantasy and science fiction novels. -- Katherine Johnson
George R. R. Martin and Robert Jordan write long, complex, and multi-layered fantasy fiction. Martin's stories feature less explicit magic and a less of a traditional quest plot than Jordan's, but the elements of politics, adventure, and battle are similar. -- Victoria Fredrick
Robert Jordan's work has been a major influence on Brandon Sanderson's, and his epic, sweeping, and action-packed fantasies share Sanderson's flare for clashing swords, colorful characters, heroic quests, and high adventure. -- Derek Keyser
Robert Jordan's fantasy novels are similar in tone to Terry Brooks's, with hope and optimism throughout and good guys always prevailing in the end. Readers looking for epic fantasy will find much to appreciate in both authors' stories of interesting characters in their quests to save the world. -- Katherine Johnson
Readers who enjoy the political intrigue and mix of sorcery and swashbuckling set in an exotic world will find a good match in Dave Duncan, who is noted for his well-drawn, multi-dimensional characters, his action sequences, and his use of elegant language in his multiple series. -- Katherine Johnson
Readers willing to move beyond the feudal-style fantasy settings into science fiction may find Ursula Le Guin a good match for Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time books. Le Guin writes of political intrigue and the roles of gender in a carefully developed setting. Her elegant descriptions and strong characters may resonate with Jordan fans. -- Katherine Johnson
Robert Jordan's readers might appreciate Stephen R. Donaldson, who writes with a slightly darker edge about a complex hero who is reluctantly drawn into a conflict in another world and must join with the inhabitants there to fight the evil that threatens to overwhelm this carefully crafted world full of believable characters. -- Katherine Johnson

Publisher's Weekly Review

Jordan's epic is coming to its long awaited conclusion in the next book, so this installment (Book 13) exquisitely ratchets up the suspense. The last battle is coming, and Rand must garner the armies of nations, unite disparate allies, and as the Dragon Reborn, prepare to face the Dark One in combat. Fans will find the preparations of the multitude of characters exciting and satisfying. Michael Kramer and Kate Reading have narrated all of the previous books, and continue to give peerless performances. Both boast a wide range of vocals and accents, and perform all characters convincingly. Their readings and characterizations are complementary and consistent in manner and style so that the sprawling series is kept coherent. A Tor hardcover. (Nov.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
