The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan
3.0
The Wheel of Time series started out so well with an amazing world, interesting characters, and an engaging plot. But the more we advance in the story the more difficult it is to stay interested in it as the series loses more and more steam. The Fires of Heaven is a very big book and yet it feels like barely anything happened in it.
Thank god for audiobooks otherwise I probably never would have finished this book and it would have been a shame cus the ending is almost worth it. But what a chore it was to get there. There's so little happening that I ended up forgetting why some characters did what they did and went where they went. I'm not even sure of the purpose of the story anymore.
The more I read Robert Jordan’s books, the more I realise that I hate his writing. It was sooo repetitive. If I have to read one more time how Nynaeve twists her braid, or how women hate men and men don't understand women, I'm just going to burn the book. On the other hand, I really enjoyed reading more about dream magic! So far The Fires of Heaven is my least favourite and even if I considered DNFing the series while reading it, I’m too attached to the characters and interested in where this is all going to give it up just yet.
