I must say that I got somewhat lost about who is who among the Aes Sedai in Tar Valon, as well as some Asha'man. Any tips where to find a quick overview?

Do I need to start from the first book of this series to read this book?
Maria Rose You won't understand what is going on if you don't start this series at the beginning, none of the books are standalone, they are all interconnected. …moreYou won't understand what is going on if you don't start this series at the beginning, none of the books are standalone, they are all interconnected.

I really want to read these books. The first 4 were awesome. Sure a little bit of a grind in the middle, but great conclusions. I'm stalling on this book, in the middle of another grind. Too many other good books to read.. Should I continue?

Realize these slow scenes are character development. Not much is happening, but people are changing. it's slow, realistic, and annoying, like real life.

I powered through these scenes speedreading or skimming. Later, when I re-read the book, they were more interesting. Robert Jordan has an insane amount of foreshadowing and irony and you'll find plenty in these scenes, once you know what happens.

My daughter, who reads over two hundred books a year, is more ruthless. She simply skips scenes she doesn't like.

Robert Jordan's great scenes (and there are great scenes in Fires of Heaven) make plowing through the detailed, boring scenes worthwhile, in my opinion. If that's your opinion too, plow away!(less)

Does the book- series have simple languange-vocabulary? I'm planning on reading it in english although it's not my native language.
Olivia not really? there is LOTS of vibrant imagery so the full affect may not come across but I would say it is not a difficult reading level.
