A review by mikavon
The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan

3.0

I HATE death cop-outs. If you kill a character, I expect them to stay dead. Forever. Though the deaths at the end of this book were so abrupt that it was pretty obvious they wouldn't be permanent. But still, I'm annoyed on principle. Let me guess--Moiraine comes back to life at some point, too? No one saw her corpse, after all. I liked her, but I hope she stays dead. I like to think that any of the main characters could die. Not saying that they have to die, but the risk makes it a fun read.
And I still dislike Rand. And why the hell can't he kill women? I don't understand why he's so stupidly sexist. It feels like he is like that simply to add more conflict to the story. "Oh, Rand cannot kill Lanfear, so therefore someone else has to kill her!".
I also really need to look up the spelling of all these names, I feel like I am probably spelling them all wrong in my head.

Ok, on to book 6, I guess...I wonder how this series will end...
