Jordan was incredible for many reasons, but chief among these was his eye for detail and his intricate weaving of the story (and foreshadowing, apparently, but I can't speak to that yet). I think Sanderson definitely has these traits, perhaps more than any other current fantasy author. That is what will make his work on the series remain in the spirit of Jordan. Plus, he's very obviously a fan of <i>Wheel of Time</i> himself and <i>wants</i> to do justice to the series. (This was very clear in the chance I had to see him speak about Jordan's work and picking up where he left off.) That is simply motivation that can't be bought any other way.
