Another of the dwarves, Jordan is reknowned for his Wheel of Time series, which, apparently, will conclude sometime after his death. For those who want to read an entire series now, Jordan's ongoing cycle will prove frustrating. For those who don't mind, I can only give a hesitating encouragement. Being of the former disposition, I have not read the books, but a household sister of mine (Theology/Literature major) has this to say:

The Eye of the World

Literary Quality:
Christian Morality: Harmless/Dangerous
Age Appropriateness: Adult

"I like Jordan's books on a plot complexity level, but they are very much into ying-yang type eastern mysticism in the magic and fate on a religious level, and polygamy (nothing explicit), excessive gambling and drinking on a moral level. I would definitly place it no higher than indifferent on the morality scale, and maybe suggest an Adult readership. It is interesting from a male/female role point of view (the males are subjected, but breaking free--hm, wonder if it is an underhanded anti-feminist story?)"
