Fires of Heaven features one of the worst sex scenes I have read — not because Jordan doesn't commit to eroticism but because I honest-to-God can't imagine women and men actually wanting to have sex with each other in this story.

The forsaken become a bit more known to us as well, after rand captures asmodeon at the end of book 4 he is there throughout book 5 as his guide to all things forsaken. Nynaeve agrees, but only if Siuan and Leane will let her study them and Logain, to learn whether stilling can be Healed.

Birgitte intervenes, having grown suspicious that she did not wake with Siuan and used the ring to enter herself, but is transformed into a child. 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. Min, Siuan, and Leane fall afoul of justice in Kore Springs, and are taken before Morgase’s former general, Gareth Bryne.
