The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

In The Fires of Heaven, the fifth novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time, four of the most powerful Forsaken band together against the Champion of Light, Rand al’Thor.

Prophesized to defeat the Dark One, Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, has upset the balance of power across the land. Shaido Aiel are on the march, ravaging everything in their path. The White Tower's Amyrlin has been deposed, turning the Aes Sedai against one another. The forbidden city of Rhuidean is overrun by Shadowspawn.

Despite the chaos swirling around him, Rand continues to learn how to harness his abilities, determined to wield the One Power--and ignoring the counsel of Moiraine Damodred at great cost.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

Title: 37 Sniffs Later
Review: The White Tower has broken. Suian and Leane have been stilled and spirited out of Tar Valon by Min Farshaw with some help by Laras. Laras, I will miss you. You were fun and would make for an interesting prequel. Now Suian, Leane, Min, and Logain must find a gathering of rebel Aes Sedai and convince the women there that their best interest is to support Rand al'Thor, The Dragon Reborn.In the Aiel Waste, Rand is confronted by attacks from the Forsaken. And it is a race for him to learn as much about the power as he can from his captive Forsaken, Asmodean. Captured with the help of Lanfear only because she intends for Rand to learn enough to be a worthy companion to herself. Meanwhile other Forsaken plot to lay a trap for him that will see him dead. But first Rand must deal with Couladin. As Couladin leaves the waste with an army, and lays siege to Cairhien, Rand is forced by events to follow and wage war against Couladin and the Shaido. And somehow Rand must avoid a trap set for him by a group of Forsaken. But even after he deals with Couladin, Rand must journey to Caemlyn to confront the Forsaken Rahvin.Far to the west, Elayne and Nynaeve leave Tanchico behind, setting out for The White Tower. They don't know that Moghedian is searching for them and following their every step. Learning of the break in the White Tower and of the stilling of the Amyrlin, they too now plan to join the rebel Aes Sedai. With Moghedian in pursuit, they join a traveling menagerie and attempt to disguise themselves from her, while somehow making it to Salidar.Coming to a dramatic conclusion in Caemlyn where Rand and Nynaeve join up to fight against Moghedian and Rahvin, The Fires of Heaven is one of the best books of the series. Most of the book is told from either Rand's or Nynaeve's point of view. This helps move the plot line along without too many deviations. Plus, because there is no Perrin, there is no Faile. For that last bit alone, I would give this book six stars. On the other hand, because there is so much Nynaeve there is a lot of sniffing. Loud sniffing. Jordan not only has the women sniff more than ever, but he discovered the adjective 'loud' and applies liberally.I've been keeping track of the sniffs in the book because Jordan has his women sniff way too much.

Title: Robert Jordan does it again
Review: After four good books, Jordan's series continues to get better and better and better. The Fires of Heaven tops even the sprawlingly complex "The Shadow Rising" with it's deep character development, faster pace, and excellent climax.The Fires of Heaven might have the most characters of any book so far, with a whopping eighteen major characters, each of whom have their own points of view at one point or another. However, that's a poor indicator of how the series is divided. Most of the book is dominated by Rand al'Thor and Nynaeve (arrgghh . . .), each of whom has about 30% of the book. Egwene, Elayne, and Mat each have significantly smaller POVs (though Elayne is present in most of Nynaeve's chapters), and following them are thirteen characters who's POVs are only seen briefly.Perrin is largely absent from this book, having no POV and only appearing in a brief cameo. (I guess that's fair, considering how big a plotline he got in the last book.) The book itself is mostly divided into two key story arcs: Nynaeve, Elayne, Thom, and Juilan traveling while they seek the rebel Aes Sedai and encounter Moghedien. And Rand (along with Egwene, Mat, Moiraine, Lan, Aviendha, and Asmodean) as he takes his Aiel forces over the Spine of the World to defeat the Shaido and take control of Cairhien.Character development reaches an even higher peak than in previous books. Rand and Elayne get the brunt of it, but every character benefits in some way or another. However, the annoyingness of several characters is really building. Egwene and Aviendha are almost at Nynaeve's level now. (How does Rand put UP with these people?!) However, Egwene compensates partially for this when she calls Nynaeve out and gives her a taste of her own medicine, quite literally, while in the world of dreams.Of the storylines, Rand's is undoubtedly the best. Elayne's and Nynaeve's is certainly interesting, but gets bogged down in places with unnecessary details. Of particular note is the menagerie, a section that could be skipped with almost no problem for the rest of the story.I'm taking increasing issue with the way romance is portrayed in these books, though. Elayne suddenly flirting with Thom was utterly bizarre, even if it wasn't serious. What's worse is Rand's relationship with Aviendha, the third member of his growing harem. (Rand is apparently too attractive for his own good, especially given Lanfear's unhealthy obsession with him. Who's next?) The whole relationship was terribly developed, came out of nowhere, had more WTF moments than all the previous books together, and just didn't make any sense to me. I'm really not a fan of the love/hate relationships that Jordan seems to think are normal.The Fires of Heaven finishes strongly, with the last several chapters packed with explosive action. It is prefixed by an awesome scene where Rand totally loses it and goes on a rampage against one of the Forsaken. Rand fights two Forsaken (separately) in the last few chapters. The first such incident is an absolutely amazing, spectacular, breathtaking one-on-one duel. The second such fight is also intense, though it comes with the problem of Rahvin's cowardice. Why do the Forsaken, the strongest wielders of the One Power in the world, always run away?The Fires of Heaven starts strong, stays strong, and ends strong, populated with awesome characters and built with massive complexity and deft worldbuilding, but still with some definite flaws. I'm currently reading Lord of Chaos, and can't help but wonder the dreadful question: When will the glory end, and when will the infamous decline of the series begin?

Review: Jättebra bok - men finns mer att önska när det gäller hållbarheten av pappret och inbindningen. Ser väldigt välsliten ut efter endast en läsning. Delar av texten var lite suddig också…
