Negative Positive
Title: The start of the downhill
Review: After the well paced, throughly enjoying start of this series, The Fires of Heaven shifted Robert Jordan's overrated series into a new, slower gear...a gear that it still has not shifted out of, as any reader of A Path of Daggers will tell you. It is here that he decided to fragment his epic story into several hundred subplots, peopled by several hundred minor, flat characters, and written with several hundred repeated phrases and descriptions.Rather than continue on with a focused, interesting tale, Jordan instead decided to create the never-ending Melrose Place of fantasy, with characters popping in and out at a head spinning pace. A terrible waste of paper.Read the first three books in this series as a trilogy, then, for the love of god, stop their before you get sucked in...
