I love detailed writing too, but Jordan's length isn't detail as much as it is repetition. I mean, I know he has a mental list of every woman who has died under his command, there's no need to remind us of it every twenty pages.
If you read the first five and last five books, you notice a huge shift in style. I'd say more happens in the first book alone than in the last four combined. Eye of the World had a ton of detail as well, but it kept things going at a faster, fresher pace.
