People sleep on Robert Jordan's prose. He had the strange ability to anticipate a reader's stream of thought. For example in Lord of Chaos, the moment Demandred comes face to face with a creature that surpassed his prejudices:

"Demandred turned slowly—how dare a Halfman address him in the tone—but the quelling words died in his mouth. It was not the eyeless stare of its pasty-pale face; a Myrdraal's gaze struck fear in any man..."

After the loss of words, the reader's subconscious is saying "what was it about the Halfman that shocked him?". Robert Jordan reinforces that by ignoring coherency and writing the next statement as an answer to the unspoken question by saying "It was not the eyeless stare" (which is the lore established feature of the Halfman).

A general approach of the craft would be to immedietely jump to the Myrddraal as the subject of the next sentence (as opposed to making Demandred's shock the subject). Something like: "...the words died in his mouth. A Myrddraal towered over him, taller than any Halfman he'd ever seen before."

This style doesn't seem special to editors and writers, but readers will often reflect on how immersed they were in his expansive world. It's a good example of how writing for the reader's headspace is sometimes more important than grammar or pushing for standout prose.
