Cielo en llamas (abreviado como CEL) es el quinto libro de la serie de novelas fantásticas La Rueda del Tiempo, escrita por Robert Jordan. Su primera edición fue publicada por Tor Books con el nombre The Fires os Heaven (TFOH) el 15 de octubre de 1993, exactamente trece meses después de la salida al mercado de su predecesora en la serie, El ascenso de la Sombra. Está distribuido en un prólogo y 56 capítulos, siendo el primero de los libros de la saga en el que no llega a aparecer en ningún momento uno de los tres personajes principales, Perrin Aybara.

En su traducción al español, Cielo en llamas fue publicado por primera vez por la editorial Timun Mas a comienzos de 1999, con la traducción de Mila López. Siguiendo la tendencia inaugurada por El ascenso de la Sombra, en el mercado español Cielo en llamas fue dividido en dos volúmenes, que de acuerdo con la nueva numeración pasaron a ser considerados los números nueve y diez de La Rueda del Tiempo. Esta división se mantuvo en 2005 con la presentación de la nueva edición de la saga íntegra, conservando los volúmentes los nombres que les fueron dados al producirse esta división: La Torre Blanca para la primera mitad y Cielo en llamas para la segunda.

Review from a Long Time Fan (spoilers for previous books, but not this one)

4 stars

Fires of Heaven is GREAT on its own, but after book 4 it starts off feeling like a bit of a letdown. Perrin is entirely absent, and after his ridiculously good storyline in TSR it's really disappointing not to see him here. But after the rocky first third of the book, the story really takes off and the ending of the book is among my favorites in the series.

These middle three books have, in my opinion, some of the best character development in the series. The main cast continues to grow and change with each challenge they face. This is the book where Mat really starts to shine; for me, he becomes my favorite character here.

This book doesn't add as much to the lore as the previous book did, which is a shame considering how much time we get to spend with one of the Forsaken. I always …

This book doesn't add as much to the lore as the previous book did, which is a shame considering how much time we get to spend with one of the Forsaken. I always thought that was a bit of a missed opportunity.

Overall this is a great read, but the best is yet to come...

Strakul reviewed The Fires of Heaven (Wheel of Time, #5) by Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time, #5)

The 5th book in The Wheel of Time

3 stars

This is another addition to The Wheel of Time series so if you're planning to read them all you pretty much need to get it. It is, however, relatively weaker than some of the earlier novels with a bit of a slower start and some issues juggling its many plots and characters. If you're a fan of Perrin, he is completely missing from this book. You still get some Rand and Mat, but a lot of the focus is on Nynaeve. Overall, it's not bad after the initial start and introduced a lot more tension and players to the world.
