A review by alw285
The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan

2.0

I don't remember how long it took me to read book 5 the first time I started reading this series in 2008 (I gave up in book 9 that time). I'm attempting to reread the series now (>14 years later) and stalled partway through .... got sidetracked by being introduced to romantasy ... and had to start this book over from the beginning again. With my reading habits reinvigorated by my year in the SJM series, I found it easier to stick with it this time and finished it quickly. It had me reflecting on what it is about this book that kept failing to hold my attention ...

Is it just me or does the plot seem to massively slow down in this book?

I'm remembering that was part of the reason I lost interest in my first attempted read through of the series. Is this where it starts?
