What I did like about Sanderson's three WoT books is that he got things moving again. It really seemed to me like Jordan had lost control and just kept letting the scope of the story get bigger and bigger. There were so many POV characters that even though these books were closing in on a thousand pages, individual characters' stories often felt like they barely progressed at all.

Brandon Sanderson had to take Jordan's notes for A Memory of Light and make them into three books to finish out the series. Had Jordan lived, I'm not sure he could have done it in five.
Wheel of Time is practically Zeno's Paradox in literary form.
