Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, continues his effort to unify the diverse people of a discordant world against the Dark One in this fifth tome of the Wheel of Time series (begun with The Eye of the World ). While the Aes Sedai, women who channel the One Power, and the Forsaken, ancient disciples of the Dark One, strive to bend him to their purposes, Rand leads the clans of the Aiel in a war of unification. Rand must try to master his powers as a man who can channel, while eluding the concomitant madness, as two groups of women attempt to come to his aid. His love, Elayne, Daughter-Heir of Andor, and Nynaeve, both Aes Sedai in training, join a circus to evade an angry sisterhood, and Siuan Sanche, former leader of the Aes Sedai now stripped of her powers, and two companions seek other rebels in an attempt to avert the final doom. Jordan deftly weaves details from previous books into this narrative and includes a glossary so that new readers can pick up the saga at this point. But all should beware: the few months covered here suggest it may be years and many more volumes before this series reaches its conclusion.

From Library Journal

Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, leads his army of desert warriors toward a destined war against the forces of the Dark One. Elsewhere, while the Forsaken seed the land with their plots of corruption, a few stalwart individuals gather their strength for the coming battle. Jordan's epic saga of a world threatened by evil incarnate builds steadily as separate strands of a complex plot begin to come together. Fans of this richly detailed and vividly imagined series will not be disappointed.

4.0�toiles sur 5 As Good as It is Going to Get, Nov. 24 2007

Par	E. Haensel (Toronto) - Voir tous mes commentaires (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Fires of Heaven: Book Five of 'The Wheel of Time' (Hardcover)

The Fires of Heaven is Jordan at his most focused so far. For the first time in the series we see actual character development and some shifts in the static dialog between characters. The plot moves effortlessly and seamlessly, and there are suspenseful episodes throughout. There are enough new people and peoples in this book to make Jordan's often depressing obsession with minute irrelevant detail to be interesting, and the story has a sense of movement throughout.

Jordan hasn't so much changed the way he writes in this book, but a convergence of plot factors creates a situation that allows his most annoying proclivities to have an actual purpose in the flow of the plot.

The ending of this book is the best of any so far. One can only hope that the series will continue in this vain getting better as it goes.

If you have survived the negativities of Jordan's prose to this point, (no doubt carried on by his excellent imagination and the dramatic scope of the series) do your self a favor and read this book, it is better than the four previous, and finally gets this story to fulfill some of its promise.

This review is from: The Fires of Heaven: Book Five of 'The Wheel of Time' (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved/enjoyed every moment of it.

Story so vividly told as the other previous books. Twists in plots so clever! Character development was extremely pleasant for me, enough to feel loss when some particular minor (or main for this volume) character(s) were killed off the Wheel.

A treasure.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Jordan's Wheel Keeps Turning, Jui 7 2004

Par	Jeffrey T. Munson (Dixon, IL) - Voir tous mes commentaires (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Fires of Heaven: Book Five of 'The Wheel of Time' (Hardcover)

After surviving the disappointment of "The Dragon Reborn", the Wheel of Time series has definitely regained its lost momentum and the series continues to get better with each book.

This book has been my favorite of the series so far. Jordan builds on the momentum he captured in book four ("The Shadow Rising"), and the storyline and character development continue in TFOH.

As for the main characters, each is facing new and exciting challenges in this book. Rand is still dealing with the realization that he is The Dragon Reborn. He has rallied the Aiel clan chiefs in a massive battle against the rebel Aiel chief Couladin, who claims that he is the true Dragon Reborn. Couladin and his followers, the Shaido, meet the fury of Rand and the rest of the Aiel in a decisive and climactic battle.

Egwene, Elayne, and Nynaeve continue their pursuit of the Black Ajah. Word has reached them that Siuan Sanche has been overthrown and stilled by Eladia. The three have also learned that a group of Aes Sedai has decided to try to overthrow Eladia and reclaim the White Tower.

Mat, Lan, and Moiraine continue to travel with Rand. Mat distinguishes himself in the battle with the Shaido by beheading Couladin. Moiraine has decided to become more yielding to Rand, but this turns into disaster at the end of the book.

This book is the best of the series so far in my opinion. The storyline and character development is very good, and the plot keeps the reader interested throughout the book. The last 200 pages of the book are some of Jordan's best work. The ending of the book is a true cliffhanger and will leave the reader wondering what will happen next. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Hopefully, it will be as good as this one.
