Rating:  out of 5 stars - FANTASTIC
simply fantastic set of books... been an avid reader for 1 year and it is really worth it!



Rating:  out of 5 stars - Book five of the Wheel of Time
'The Fires of Heaven' is book five in the wheel of time series by Robert Jordan. So far the series has been consistently good, although I've heard that after this one the quality starts to decline. We'll see.

Rating:  out of 5 stars - The Fires of Heaven
This is the second go around in the series. It's amazing how much I seem not to remember or missed the first time. RJ had not gotten too tedious at this point in his tendency for over doing his descriptive narrative. The readers, Kate Reading and Michael Kramer are excellent.
