About this book
"Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time(R) by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters.
The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.
Into the forbidden city of Rhuidean, where Rand al'Thor, now the Dragon Reborn, must conceal his present endeavor from all about him, even Egwene and Moiraine.
Into the Amyrlin's study in the White Tower, where the Amyrlin, Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan, is weaving new plans.
Into the luxurious hidden chamber where the Forsaken Rahvin is meeting with three of his fellows to ensure their ultimate victory over the Dragon.
Into the Queen's court in Caemlyn, where Morgase is curiously in thrall to the handsome Lord Gaebril.
For once the dragon walks the land, the fires of heaven fall where they will, until all men's lives are ablaze.
And in Shayol Ghul, the Dark One stirs..." - from publisher
Summary
Reader reviews for The Fires of Heaven: Book Five of 'The Wheel of Time'
Review summary
Readers viewed The Fires of Heaven as a mixed but often rewarding installment. Many praised Rand’s growing authority, Mat’s breakout arc, richer Aiel lore and Forsaken intrigue, and an explosive, balefire-charged finale—along with Moiraine’s pivotal moments. The series’ expansive world-building and political maneuvering drew consistent admiration. Criticisms centered on uneven pacing, repetitive tics and travelogues—especially the circus subplot—and on grating gender dynamics and bickering that made some female viewpoints divisive. Perrin’s absence split opinion, but most agreed the final quarter delivers enough impact to compensate for a sluggish middle.
