The series is noted for its length, its well-developed magic system, the extremely large numbers of subplots, the intricate detail of its imaginary world, and the extremely large number of characters (there are more than 1,800 named characters in the series). The fourteenth and ultimate volume in the series, A Memory of Light, was released January 8th, 2013. The second of the three, Towers of Midnight, was released November 2nd, 2010.

The author passed away in September 2007 while working on the final volume, A Memory of Light. The eleventh volume was published in 2005. The author began writing the first volume, The Eye of the World, in 1984 and it was published in 1990. The series also includes a stand-alone prequel novel and a companion book.
