Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) In this sequel to the phenomenal New York Times bestseller The Shadow Rising, Robert Jordan again plunges us into his extraordinarily rich, totally unforgettable world:
...Into the forbidden city of Rhuidean, where Rand al'Thor, now the Dragon Reborn, must conceal his present endeavor from all about him, even Egwene and Moiraine.
...Into the Amyrlin's study in the White Tower, where the Amyrlin, Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan, is weaving new plans.
...Into the luxurious hidden chamber where the Forsaken Rahvin is meeting with three of his fellows to ensure their ultimate victory over the Dragon.
...Into the Queen's court in Caemlyn, where Morgase is curiously in thrall to the handsome Lord Gaebril.
For once the dragon walks the land, the fires of heaven fall where they will, until all men's lives are ablaze.
And in Shayol Ghul, the Dark One stirs...

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.
Rand strives to be harder than stone as he moves the Aiel into Cairhien. He allows Moiraine to guide him after she vows to do as he says. She has her own secrets, things learned in Rhuidean, and she knows her time to help Rand is running short.
Meanwhile Elayne and Nynaeve spend their days running from Tanchico and Moghedien, hiding out in a menagerie when they learn the White Tower seeks Elayne and that Elaida is now Amyrlin. Finally they seek Salidar but what they find there is not exactly what they were expecting. And they both know that they need to keep some secrets extremely close once in Salidar, because otherwise they could be severely punished.
Min rides with Siuan, Leane, and Logain to the gathering of Blue sisters in Salidar. Only it's more than the Blues gathering there. Because of Siuan, Gareth Bryne ends up following them to Salidar and gets drafted by the Aes Sedai.
A lot happens in this installment, and every last bit of it is important.
Next up in the series: Lord of Chaos.
You can purchase The Fires of Heaven through Amazon in hard copy or Kindle format.
