The Fires of Heaven, fifth book in the Wheel of Time series, mostly focusses on the female characters. I have quite hated them up until the start of The Fires of Heaven but I am glad to say my hate for them has weakened. They are still not my favourite characters in The Wheel of time series, far from it really, but I did find them immensely more bearable. 
 The developments in the plot were quite good. You do not expect much action in a Wheel of Time book but this book did manage to keep me interested throughout. The writing is absolutely marvellous, the world is filled with stunning detail, really amongst the best in the fantasy genre. 
 The only thing that I did not like in this book was the absence of Perrin. Perrin had quite an amazing development in the previous book, The Shadow Rising, and I was really excited to be reading the next chapters in his story. It does give me a good reason to continue reading The Wheel of Time series as soon as I am able to.
