Samuel
Final rating: 3.0
Had a 4 month break after reading Lord of Chaos (nearly gave up on the series) before tacking this bad boi. Honestly enjoyed it better, but it still suffered from a slow pace where seemingly not much was achieved in a book 650 pages long.
Im missing the sense of adventure that the first few books contained (particularly the Great Hunt) and am left bored at times which became evident during the Fires of Heaven.
Theres so many names of different Aes Sedai and Aiel that it makes it hard to follow and remember who is who which is disappointing. Felt the book was meandering for 600 pages and then suddenly wrapped up a major plot line in the 20 odd pages of the last chapter which seemed rushed.
Expectations are very low heading into the Path of Daggers which should help me enjoy it more….
