Robert Jordan
680 books17.2k followersLibrarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
Robert Jordan was the pen name of James Oliver Rigney, Jr., under which he was best known as the author of the bestselling The Wheel of Time fantasy series. He also wrote under the names Reagan O'Neal and Jackson O'Reilly.
Jordan was born in Charleston, South Carolina. He served two tours in Vietnam (from 1968 to 1970) with the United States Army as a helicopter gunner. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with bronze oak leaf cluster, the Bronze Star with "V" and bronze oak leaf cluster, and two Vietnamese Gallantry Crosses with palm. After returning from Vietnam he attended The Citadel where he received an undergraduate degree in physics. After graduating he was employed by the United States Navy as a nuclear engineer. He began writing in 1977. He was a history buff and enjoyed hunting, fishing, sailing, poker, chess, pool, and pipe collecting.
He described himself as a "High Church" Episcopalian and received communion more than once a week. He lived with his wife Harriet McDougal, who works as a book editor (currently with Tor Books; she was also Jordan's editor) in a house built in 1797.
Responding to queries on the similarity of some of the concepts in his Wheel of Time books with Freemasonry concepts, Jordan admitted that he was a Freemason. However, "like his father and grandfather," he preferred not to advertise, possibly because of the negative propaganda against Freemasonry. In his own words, "no man in this country should feel in danger because of his beliefs."
On March 23, 2006, Jordan disclosed in a statement that he had been diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis, and that with treatment, his median life expectancy was four years, though he said he intended to beat the statistics. He later posted on his Dragonmount blog to encourage his fans not to worry about him and that he intended to have a long and fully creative life.
He began chemotherapy treatment at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, in early April 2006. Jordan was enrolled in a study using the drug Revlimid just approved for multiple myeloma but not yet tested on primary amyloidosis.
Jordan died at approximately 2:45 p.m. EDT on September 16, 2007, and a funeral service was held for him on Wednesday, September 19, 2007. Jordan was cremated and his ashes buried in the churchyard of St. James Church in Goose Creek, outside Charleston.

I was working on a review, but then the app crashed and lost all that I wrote. Perhaps it needed a severe revision anyway. Without further ado:
I can’t say enough good things about “The Fires of Heaven.” It was truly exceptional from start to finish on almost all fronts. Pacing was rock solid, it was engaging right out of the gate, and characters were allowed to develop in often subtle but always helpful ways. I found myself caring about characters I really struggled to care about before, which I think says a lot about Jordan’s skill as a writer and his improvement in particular with this novel.
As far as criticisms, I really don’t have many at all. There was only one chapter that dragged a bit for me, and it was closer to the end. It recovered halfway through, though, so it wasn’t that much of a drag. Jordan also really seems to want to highlight the negative nature of how men and women each view the opposite sex. In some instances, it adds decent comedic levity. In others, it falls flat and feels awkward/unnecessary.
Absolutely my favourite up to this point, I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this read. Book 4 comes quite close, but, at least for me, this one comes out on top by a bit. To say the least, I couldn’t be more ready to see how everything comes to a head in “Lord of Chaos”.
TL;DR Stellar novel that significantly progresses the story and characters and sets things up for epic events in book 6.
4.8/5 stars

I have many thoughts. This book was too long. Much of the beginning and middle dragged, while just enough bursts of action kept me dragging myself through it. I think the last 10 or so chapters made this book worth reading, but just by a hair. It would have been two stars if not for that last part, which was wonderfully written. But as for the other sections, every time we switch POVs, we get two full pages of reflection before the person whose pov it is actually DOES anything. And it’s all just reiterations of shit we already know. It drags so hard.
I am also pretty fed up at this point with the male vs female storyline, which too often resolves itself in thinly veiled sexism. The female characters act so goddamn stupid. Almost every single one of them is a dour, angry nag. I’m sick of it. And I’m not even gonna get into all the talk of low cut dresses. Does robert jordan like to emphasize his male character’s bodies quite so often? Wonder why not? I think what’s bothering me most about this is that RJ simply doesnt seem to respect his female characters, no matter how powerful or cool they are, as much as his male characters. They are always the butt of the joke, with the audience meant to laugh at their stupidity or hotheadedness. And how many times are they stripped naked as punishment? Or are just naked for no real reason? It borders on disrespect, especially with the way Rand REFUSES to hurt any woman, even literal evil immortal beings. Are we supposed to admire his nobleness? All it does is show us that he doesn’t, cannot think of women as equal to and as complex as men. Look to what he does to those poor Maidens of the spear: At the very last, he ridicules the maidens and subjects them to an honorless death trying to keep them from harm. Don’t even get me STARTED on how Egwene and Aviendha begin to “comb their hair” and “sweep dirt from their dresses” when surrounded by corpses of their friends, peoples, and mentors. Give me a fucking break.
Not sure if I’ll be able to read book six given all this. Moiraine was kinda the only character I loved, and with her gone, idk.

Once again a great read. This series gets me more and more engrossed each book.

This is at least my second favorite, so far. I became invested in different characters.

Nynaeve had been my least favorite character in the first four books. She was something like 70% of this book and she is still just the worst. I rarely find myself commenting out loud as I'm reading a book. I think I "told her" to shut up just about every chapter she played a major part in.
Generally I really wanted to like the book more, but most of the characters act like petty children, and I got tired of Robert drone on about women's features. Everyone needs to grow up...
This is not how one writes a strong character, male or female. These are all bullies.

Although there was a hefty amount of action in this book, I don’t think it needed to be this long. Considering how much of it was sitting around talking and planning, and a lot of chasing through confusing segments that a lot of it could have been edited down.
This is probably the first time I’ve felt this way about any of the volumes so far on my first read-through of the series.
I did appreciate the many revelations in this, and the many plot twists the characters suffered through.

Lots of battles but the plot really made some progress at the end. Got me excited for the next book.

The Fires of Heaven is Book 5 of The Wheel of Time. After four novels of build-up, you might be curious: does Jordan begin to pay off on some of his promises?
Rand, coming into his own as the Dragon Reborn, leads the Aiel out of the Three-Fold land and embarks on his destiny to break the world. Meanwhile, Nynaeve, Elayne, and Egwene explore Tel’aran’rhiod—the world of dreams—and their ability to master this long-lost art may be the key to helping Rand stay one step ahead of the Dark Lord.
Rand has fully stepped into his role as the Dragon, he saw some interesting growth in this story. Ascending to leadership is challenging for someone so young, and to be thrust into a role of extreme power comes with a steep learning curve. Rand had to learn who to trust and who to use to accomplish his goals, and his successes and failures in this role were shown to have serious consequences in ways that the previous novels hadn’t truly realized.
Like Rand, it was equally compelling to see Mat deal with his role in the pattern. We saw Mat make a tough decision that Rand wasn’t able to make, separating them in their willingness to do what must be done to survive.
Nynaeve and Elayne’s story felt like it had too much time focused on it, but there were definitely points in their story that were highlights. Nynaeve in particular experienced a relatively decent character arc. Most readers find her a bit infuriating, but in this installment, she is forced to face her own shortcomings and adjust her behavior. If most of Nynaeve and Elanyne’s stories were isolated to their Tel’aran’rhiod interactions, the story might have been better paced for it.
Reducing the Nynaeve and Elayne’s story might have left room for what I wanted more of: Siuan and Morgase. Both of these characters had stories I was interested in following: a fall from power. There’s more to come with their stories, but I would have traded more from them in exchange for a reduction to the chapters featuring our primary cast of characters.
Perrin is notably absent from this novel, but it doesn’t suffer for it. I loved Perrin’s story in the previous installment, but I didn’t feel that his presence was particularly needed here, so Jordan made a good decision to hold off on his story for now.
The novel’s ending is the true highlight of the story. While there were some great moments sprinkled throughout the story, the climax is where the story was allowed to shine, reminding us that Jordan is still willing to shake the world as the dark one’s plot unfolds.
There’s so much more to discuss with this story, and so many pieces put into place for the future of the series, and I can’t wait to revisit the following novels. Since I barely remembered half of the events that occurred in this novel, I’m sure I’m in for a similar experience in book six.
At this point, it’d be hard to recommend reading this novel if the pace of the previous novel wasn’t too slow for you or if characters like Nynaeve aren’t too off-putting. While the pace of this novel was perhaps a bit faster, it still falls in the same category as The Shadow Rising. And while I see progress for some of the more vexing characters, it may still not be enough to warrant continuing the series for some readers. But if that’s not an issue, and you’re invested, read on!

Dear God this book took forever to read. I want to finish the series but the Wheel of Time may turn before I make it through all of them. It's a great story - fantasy at its best - numerous story lines, millions of characters - (so many that there is a glossary in every book in case you forget who someone is), magic, dream walkers, and lots of other stuff to get through. Woosh! So.. now that Rand is coming to terms with being the Dragon Reborn, he is making plans to do Dragon things. Meanwhile, in Aei Sadai land, there is trouble - black sisters are creating chaos and working with the forsaken - the baddies are teaming up. The OG crew from two rivers is working to stop them and try to help Rand but are unclear what they should actually be doing. There is a lot of walking around in the dream world in this book and it dragged on forever, hence the long time it took me to get through it.
These books really are good - just a bit too dang long.

As always it’s enjoyable to read more about your favorite characters and their development as the story progresses. There was in my opinion a fair amount of slog ( could have easily cut 100-200 pages out of the book and it would have been perfect. The ending is what made the book for me. Everything came together at the end with a nicely wrapped bow. I’m glad it ended enjoyable because for a good chunk of the book I felt like giving up and I really don’t like to do that but was really tempted, that said, repeating myself like a parrot the ending tied everything up for me and has me ready for book 6… after I read a few other books

I am really enjoying the world building within these books! There is always a war going on but Rand is getting more into his role as the dragon reborn.
I do like how they played on more gender roles in this book. I like how opinionated the Aes Sedai are and how the different colours of them of certain attitudes. I guess everyone is coming into their own in this book I think. Even Egwene and Nynaeve are becoming more into their own and how because they are new into yielding the light, how they need to become more protective of themselves and the light.
Excellent series so far!

While there was a bit of action, I feel the slow parts dragged on way too much. RJ could have expanded on the action, which often made me feel as if essential details were missing, while the slow parts went on for far too long.
Still, I did really enjoy the progress of the characters, their arcs and the plot. The characters have so much personality, and their flaws are very apparent, it feels like they're real people suffering through real events and I think that's what makes me faithfully continue through the series

Having rated all the previous books in the series 5 stars already, it’s not possible for me to go any higher. I will say this though, this is my favourite in the series so far.
The series has me so involved in these characters, that even the slowly diminishing influence of Moraine and Lan hasn’t upset me too much once again, a five-star book, in what has so far been a five-star series. Slow at times, lengthy to an intimidating extent, but definitely worth it.

The story keeps getting better and better with every book. The world building keeps getting more and more fleshed, there’s very visible character growth, several unexpected twists. No dull moment or word wasted. Everything matters.
The way the author shifts perspectives and each perspective is so unique… it’s masterful.

This only gets 4 stars bc there was no perrin :( & that made me sad.
Otherwise, I loved the book! It was a bit claggy in some parts, and in true Jordan fashion, really started bringing things together towards the very end of the book.

This book was a bit slower than the previous volumes in this epic. Slow as it was it is filled with pivotal information that strings together various threads of the story and leaves one hungry for the next book.
June 26, 2024
My favorite book of the series so far! So many twists and turns. New characters everywhere too. Everything that you have learned so far comes together in this book. I can only imagine how amazing the finale of book 14 will be after how well this book came together.

Up there for my favorite in the series. Super fast pacing with Rand conquering tons or territory. The ending was awesome featuring some big RIPs and rage.
Loved seeing Mat have responsibilities in this book too.
The girls’ storyline starts to go downhill for me here. I don’t care ab the circus arcs and the Salidar arcs are usually pretty boring when not dealing with major events.
Some of the slower pacing doesn’t drag this book down for me and I think it’s a potential top 3 in the series.
