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 when creating names in the series, Jordan used names and words of foreign languages, or even English, starting with Shai-tan himself, and especially visible in names of Trolloc clans. The intended impression is that the world in which the series is set might be our own world at some different point on the Wheel of Time.
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).
