A review by shamciar
The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan

Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.
DNFing this franchise largely due to the Seanchan, Mat, gender essentialism, another light/dark dichotomy, and the amount of fans who will justify it all. The Seanchan barely appear here, but after having set this book down for over a year, picking it back up again, and still feeling largely the same way, I am deciding that it's not worth me continuing. I was also spoiled on numerous things regarding Mat and the Seanchan and I do not wish to risk RAFO just to have the same disappointment. Aside from this, so much of the character interactions and the way people in positions of power treat the main characters has really started to get under my skin, and as before, I do not have the energy to RAFO and see if things get any better.
