nickburdick 's review for:

The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan
3.0

Reread.

I’m getting kind of frustrated with this series. I’m so bored of all the female characters and their tempers and bickering, as well as the obsession with their outfits and how low cut they are. I’m so bored of all the male characters and their endless refusals of the call and confusion about the women. It all seems a bit like a teenage boy’s fantasy.

Also, he spends soooo much time in the weeds. I love the descriptions and the worldbuilding, but 2 pages of description to one paragraph of dialogue is a little overkill.

All that said, I still love the basic story line and the world he’s built. He shines in his action sequences. And magic is just fun. I’ll finish the series again, but this’ll probably be the last time.
