Summary: This book is simply great!
Review: In this book (as well as in his previous books) Robert Jordan really shows his writing skill. Not only is he creating a interesting and exciting world full of magic, he also provides us with interesting details of the people living there. The Aiel are simple the best and their strange customs and Rand's struggle to get along with these is sometimes really funny. A very good element of the story is also the rebirth of the heros and so their memory of long past lives. Therefor Mat is for me nearly the most interesting caracter of Jordan's novels. His unnatural luck and his strategic skill he shows often accidentely do not let the others understand him. I am really looking forward to the next book. I hope it is as great as this one!!!

Summary: Great dimension but lacks fullness.
Review: This book definately upholds the series Wheel of Time. One aspect I don't especially like is that they took Perrin out of this book completely. He was one of the best characters. I liked how he incorperated the forsaken into this book, but i think its a little corny that Moiraine and Lanfear died like that. Overall I am impressed by this addition to the series, and I welcome more books to come.

Summary: It was a struggle, but I made it to the end...
Review: The WOT books are getting harder and harder for me to read -- and I'm listening to the unabridged audiobook versions!!! The series started off with a bang and has gone gently downhill ever since. I must admit, this book was better than the last few but this isn't the best fantasy series I've ever read. Just the longest. The book does have some merit, I was happy to see a little romance, there was a decent amount of action, and there wasn't too much of that "irritating" braid pulling!!! But as I've said before with Jordan's books, he kills you with details and you have to wade through the details to get to the story. On the other hand, if you like details, this is the series for you!

Summary: The most boring book I've ever read.
Review: Quite simply, the most boring book I've ever read. I thought Lord of Chaos was ten times better, but this is only my personal opinion, of course. Many people list this as their favourite and LoC as the most boring one, so I guess everyone should read them and make up their mind :)

Summary: Awesome!
Review: It's been 2 months, and about 4,500 pages now... :) I don't know how I get an education since I'm going through this series without being able to put it down. I can't wait for the next book.

Summary: This book is clearly the best of a superior series.
Review: The Fires of Heaven is the best book in the Wheel of Time series. The character development steps to a new level. Rand's problems are magnified by the addition of the thoughts of Lews Therin. His fight to hold off madness will be an interesting development for the story. Mat Cauthon's character, which I was only interested in passing, has been stepped into a new dimension which leaves questions in my mind whether he will maybe become the second most important figure at Tarmon Gaidon behind Rand himself. The interaction between the Aiel and the "Wetlanders" provides comic relief and gives us an example of how two very different cultures can assimilate somewhat peacefully in society. He provides much of this hidden social commentary while showing us a medieval, magical world yet with very believable characters. I recommend this book and series wholeheartedly to anyone who wishes to mesmerized and whisked off to another world a couple hours a day.

Summary: one of the best in the series
Review: I thought that this one one of the better books in the series( no that the others weren't great). I found that when Rand kill Rahvin with Balefire and it brought back Mat and the others it was really interesting. And over all a definate five.

Summary: WONDERFUL!!!!
Review: Robert Jordan is a supurb storyteller this book only adds to the realism of the world Jordan has created!!!!

Summary: I lost my lust for this novel
Review: I don't know what happened. Mat is losing his role as a major character towards the end of this and Rand is becoming boring. The women are peevish and do not understand men as they thought they did. It make me angry to read this when the previous ones were terrific. I do hope that will change.
Rating:
Summary: Second best book in the series.
Review: I'd have to rank this installment just behind the first book. Jordan's storytelling ability simply shines here. His interweaving of prophecy and history make this a page-turner. His look into Aiel society had me riveted. They are so intricate and so history-driven, it is amazing!!! Jordan's use of history and culture throughout the series make this a very interesting series, even though some of the books can be slow. Still, this book makes up for that fact many times over.
