its kind of a long post, i think, but what makes jordan in partic unique is that he married the epic sweep and mythohistoric grandeur of tolkien with a rationalist take on world-building. also i think the way his series developed w/ and was influenced by the internet makes his plotting really interesting - i think its density and complexity was sorta impt in 'the genre' and also a big draw for many readers
