The Fires of Heaven SUMMARY!
Added 2025-07-08 13:00:11 +0000 UTCNote from Editing Kayla: We're thinking about adding in the characters at the bottom of the screen to help keep track of who is where for the viewers. Let me know your thoughts: if you like the addition or if it's making the videos a bit too cluttered?

God this book has some weird stuff. The Aviendha igloo thing. The circus. Egwene sexually assaulting Nynaeve. The fact that people even try to defend that scene makes me lose faith in humanity.

2025-08-13 19:29:16 +0000 UTCThe Perin/Faile/Shaido storyline is worse than the circus, mainly because it lasts 3 books!

2025-07-28 10:16:28 +0000 UTCDaniel I am nearly finished reading THE SHADOW RISING and am certain Moraine told Lan of her intention of passing the Warder Bond to another Aes Sedai. He was furious with her for making the decision without his consent. She insists she doesn't want him attempting to avenge her death, nor does she want him suiciding. Though she knows of his love of Nynaeve, she plans for Lan to answer to another woman.

2025-07-27 23:12:24 +0000 UTCI never thought of that aspect! But you are right. Bathing is not something Aiel do; they use the sweat tents to cleanse themselves

2025-07-27 23:11:13 +0000 UTCSo glad to hear you hating in Egwen. I can't stand her.

2025-07-17 11:17:33 +0000 UTCThank you for what you doing. When I reaed it I thought that Avienda was ashamed for wanting a bath (not for being naked). The eiel make fun for the whetlands for using water and here she want a bath full of water.

2025-07-16 21:31:51 +0000 UTCLove your breakdowns of the series! Random question, would u make custom videos of different books/topics if people pay for them?

2025-07-10 13:34:08 +0000 UTCThis Is what I was going to comment on. The elephants in the wheel of time are known as s'redit, and can be found on Seanchan as war beasts. Those that were left behind are taken in and taken care of by the Seanchan woman Cerandin traveling with Valan Luca's managarie.

2025-07-10 01:40:51 +0000 UTCDid I sleep thru the whole Rhuiden event? And I kept waiting for your explanation of how Elaida took over the Tower. Or did I sleep thru it? I do miss seeing the book cover on your board. Can you go back to showing it again, please? Thanks for this review, and anticipating what happens next.
Carol Briscoe
2025-07-10 01:31:47 +0000 UTCMy only feedback is to keep doing as you're doing. I love it, I enjoy it, I support you both, and I want good things for you.

2025-07-09 22:12:00 +0000 UTCThe Seanchan in the circus isn’t taking care of grolm (frog-bears) but srredit (sp?) which are described like elephants

2025-07-09 20:32:32 +0000 UTCI think the characters are fine, but I’m a reader that’s here for it regardless.

2025-07-09 20:27:57 +0000 UTCSo these test video aren't exported at the super high quality we will be using on the final video. They should look crisper there. Patreon cannot handle the amount of gigs we'd need for that. Not all in one go. Memory of light it getting recorded tomorrow :)
Daniel Greene
2025-07-09 17:58:23 +0000 UTCI liked it better without the characters on the bottom IMO. Maybe just me though
NaSeem Jones
2025-07-09 16:03:28 +0000 UTCThe boy who came to Two Rivers and said "we're coming" was after Faile left, if I remember correctly? He was sent to tell Two Rivers-folk that an army came from Devon Ride?

2025-07-09 15:00:54 +0000 UTCLoving what you are doing. I just had a thought when watching these. Since you are having one long video, which means you'll only have one thumbnail on YouTube, I think it would be really helpful if when you begin each new book, you have the cover come up (The good arsty ones you did last time on ur summaries, not the lame solid color ones they have now on audible). I know, at least for me, all these titles kind of just blur together, but seeing a cover that accompanies the name/number really helps to be like, “Oh ok this one is the bowl of the winds” or whatever because of the cover art. So, I think whenever you do your transitions to a new book, a quick cover show either fullscreen or in the corner or something would be great. Keep doing what you’re doing though! Ive been watching you old stuff many times to figure out which book is which for years ha so this is great and way better than your old stuff

2025-07-09 14:27:07 +0000 UTCI was about to say this very same thing. I like the concept of having the characters, but if they arn't in the section being spoken about, it would be best to go away, otherwise its distracting. When it got so many i began to think it was like a progression bar or something until you began to talk about Rand and they went away
Aaron Mullen
2025-07-09 14:20:07 +0000 UTCYeah this book has the Let’s Hide Out in the Circus (wince). But Moiraine tackles Lanfear through a twisted doorframe. You get the good with the blahs. The blurry zoom thing could be getting annoying. But to be fair since you shot so much of this all in one go it’s probably pointless to keep bringing it up. We’ll just hope it got resolved with later shoots. This is an overall excellent project, keep going.

2025-07-09 06:12:32 +0000 UTCCharacters at the bottom - a bit cluttered when showing the board at the same time. I mean, the artwork! How can I live with myself if I can't gaze upon the work of such genius? Yeah, OK, maybe a bit over the top. Also, while I'm thinking about it, the out of focus zoom in on the board, a bit distracting. Unless it's out of focus for a specific reason?

2025-07-08 22:32:54 +0000 UTC"This is my Climax Board. We're gonna find a new name for that." This made me laugh so hard. I hope the name gets increasingly silly/dirty, and always followed by "we're gonna find a new name for that."
Steven Walther
2025-07-08 21:23:46 +0000 UTCOne of the better books and definitely one of the most WTF books! video captured it nicely
Phil Parkman
2025-07-08 20:23:02 +0000 UTCIm so sorry about the paragraph format, i cant press enter on my phone without posting the comment :( You are spot on with Egwene. I love big aspects of her storyline, but when she started asserting her power over Nyneave it was a horrible character trait to show. Cerandin doesn't have the grolm, she has s'redit which are supposed to be elephants :) having the climax boars separate is such a great idea! The characters at the base are a good idea :)
Nikita Balfour
2025-07-08 17:34:09 +0000 UTCGreat video, as always! I like the character roll at the bottom of the screen, especially as we are getting further into the story and more and more characters will start popping up.
Chris Tsang
2025-07-08 17:13:51 +0000 UTCDoes the white board take longer than the video. It’s impressive and thank you for these videos. Can’t wait for the full length video on YouTube

2025-07-08 16:21:14 +0000 UTC40:00 it's also funny to see Asmodean's reaction during this like he changes the music tone and then stares in surprise. One of my favorite scenes
Ejder
2025-07-08 14:28:14 +0000 UTC28:30 I think the reason was - she needs to give presents to people close to her and 3 people she hates and Rand is thinking that she hates him

2025-07-08 14:17:19 +0000 UTCShoutout JID edit lol
Blake Engholm
2025-07-08 14:14:13 +0000 UTCI like the character pop-ups, however I feel having the character(s) who are actively being spoken about as the focus or highlighted would be more useful. The crowd at the bottom of the screen was a bit confusing at times, trying to connect each character’s name to the collection of images at the bottom. Another Fab video! Loving this series!

2025-07-08 14:03:39 +0000 UTCSkimming edit was awesome. lol doing so much with simple edits. Bravo

2025-07-08 13:59:46 +0000 UTC100% the only part I skip

2025-07-08 13:44:23 +0000 UTCAnd now I have Johnny b good in my head. Not a bad thing 🤔

2025-07-08 13:41:52 +0000 UTCEmbrace the clutter! Its less chaos than the background is lol. Chaotic Goblin creates Chaotic Spark Notes in chaotic manner.

2025-07-08 13:41:01 +0000 UTCWatch the video...
Jake Slack
2025-07-08 13:32:38 +0000 UTCCan't really know if it is too cluttered until you do it. I say test it on a couple scenes or something and we will let you know what we think
