The Fires of Heaven: 5/12 (Wheel of Time)

Product Information

Mat rides south, dodging Shaido in an attempt to escape the battlefield, but circumstances conspire to keep him in the thick of things.

It seems that the occurrences in this installment are to prep the characters for who they will become. Nynaeve was battling Moghedien when Birgitte was torn out and feels responsible for Birgitte’s plight. They are polar opposites and each regards the opposite sex as a Martian, no matter what culture or country the character is from. Even the little things wore me down — it's like how the quietest of faucet drips can drive you crazy after hearing it for long enough. I found myself becoming extremely acclimated with the pitfalls of Jordan's narration because, more often than not, that's all there is to The Fires of Heaven.Though Mat often tries to escape Rand’s ta’veren influence, he’s always pulled back somehow, probably by his own ta’veren-ness. We also have a new development with Lews Therin's thoughts drifting into his head making you wonder if he's going mad already. Gathering those clans that have declared for him, Rand pursues Couladin into Cairhein where his Tairen forces have fallen under siege. While Leane practices her flirting on Logain, Siuan seeks out an agent for the Blue Ajah and is given the message, “Sallie Daera.

Always leave a way out, unless you really want to find out how hard a man can fight when he's nothing to lose. At the opportune moment, Moiraine does what the rings of Rhuidean told her she must, and takes Lanfear through the doorway. x 9 1/2 Book; binding tight with mild pull to head band, boards straight and clean; minor soiling to bottom corner else text free of marks, appears barely read. In Rhuidean, worried by news that Aiel from other clans join the cause of his enemy Couladin, Rand al’Thor confers with the Clan Chiefs who have recognised him as the Car’a’carn – Chief of Chiefs – on how to win over the four remaining Clans. Mat drinks, gambles, and contemplates the new memories placed in his mind since his trip through the second redstone doorway.I will defend you when you are in danger, but if the danger is only of being turned over someone's knees because you've behaved like a spoiled child, I will have to decide whether it's better to let you learn a lesson that might save you the same or worse another time. So now we're well into the series, each character has found their stride and have (mostly) accepted their fates. The old Amyrlin Seat has been stilled, a new Amyrlin Seat has been raised, and the Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah are preparing for war against the Tower.
