About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

"Jordan deftly weaves details from previous books into this narrative." ( Publishers Weekly)
" Fires of Heaven upholds the very high standards of this major fantasy epic, with battle scenes, comic interludes, and character development all reaching perhaps the highest point in a work that has lacked for none of these." ( Booklist)
"Jordan's epic saga of a world threatened by evil incarnate builds steadily as separate strands of a complex plot begin to come together. Fans of this richly detailed and vividly imagined series will not be disappointed." ( Library Journal)

Mat character is being shaped so so good

The readers are good but they lack something... Rosamund Pike was so so great on reading the first 3 books. You can feel with her, she is brilliant! Now is like listening something without a soul sometimes. Especially or maybe also because the writer lacks the romance and the scenes become... funny instead of romantic. Like the love scene! Was hilarious! Really?! After 2-3h she stood up and they talk marriage!? Funny... men
But overall the story is great so I can't wait to go with the next book!

Read the rest, it's Epic

Easily one of the best fantasy universes I have ever come across. Timeless, and well worth the time spent.

great but not the best so far

amazing book definitely parts that drag, an some characters seem to be losing their personality an just being moody instead, also don't see rand liking any of these girls for any other reason than their hot and kinda begging it, weakest part definitely the menagerie
