Publisher's Summary
The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!
In Knife of Dreams, the eleventh novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle, is upon Rand al'Thor—and now the Dragon Reborn must confront the Dark One as humanity's only hope.
The dead are walking, men die impossible deaths, and it seems as though reality itself has become unstable…
Abandoning Rand’s war against the Dark One, Perrin Aybara has made his own truce with the Seanchan in his obsessive quest to save his wife Faile from the Shaido and destroy their mutual enemies. To achieve victory, Perrin must render the Shaido Wise One channelers in Malden powerless. But even as he puts his desperate plan into action, Masema Dagar, the Prophet of the Dragon, moves against him.
Traveling with circus performers through Seanchan-controlled Altara, Mat Cauthon attempts to court Tuon, the Daughter of the Nine Moons, to complete their fateful prophesized marriage. Despite being surrounded by Seanchan seeking to kill her, Mat’s intended leads him on a merry chase while he wages guerrilla warfare to protect her.
Knowing he cannot defeat the Dark One while at war with the Seanchan, Rand brokers for a truce with the Daughter of the Nine Moons. Unaware of Tuon’s actual location, the Dragon Reborn walks into a trap set by the Forsaken Semirhage, who possesses knowledge about his powers that will either shatter or steel his resolve in the forthcoming conflict.
Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers and listeners around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

Story
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Story
The only life Tress has known on her island home in an emerald-green ocean has been a simple one, with the simple pleasures of collecting cups brought by sailors from faraway lands and listening to stories told by her friend Charlie. But when his father takes him on a voyage to find a bride and disaster strikes, Tress must stow away on a ship and seek the Sorceress of the deadly Midnight Sea. Amid the spore oceans where pirates abound, can Tress leave her simple life behind and make her own place sailing a sea where a single drop of water can mean instant death?

Story
For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

What the critics say
"Explodes with motion, as multiple plot lines either conclude or advance, and the march to Tarmon Gai'don, the climactic last battle between the Dragon Reborn and the Dark One, begins in earnest." (Publishers Weekly)
"The battle scenes have the breathless urgency of firsthand experience, and the...evil laced into the forces of good, the dangers latent in any promised salvation, the sense of the unavoidable onslaught of unpredictable events bear the marks of American national experience during the last three decades." (The New York Times)
"Jordan has a powerful vision of good and evil, but what strikes me as most pleasurable...is all the fascinating people moving through a rich and interesting world." (Orson Scott Card)
Featured Article: The Best Female Narrators You Can Listen To All Day
When considering a new audiobook, one of the biggest questions listeners have is whether they’ll enjoy the narration style. This is understandable as audiobooks span at least a few hours, and sticking with one person’s voice for that period can feel like a big commitment. Luckily, there are so many excellent voice actors performing audiobooks that you might just find yourself gravitating to certain audiobooks based solely on the narrator’s strength.

Brilliant Entry
Celebrate! The "Filler" Books are done!
Robert Jordan continues to "shuffle" many of the players in his story - various groups of White Cloaks, competing factions among the Aes Sedai, and royal families engaging in "Game Of Houses" maneuvering, for example - but also reintroduces quest-based plotlines ("we'll go this way, you go that way, meet you at the climax") and pitched setpiece battles: tens of thousands of Trollocs and Myrddraal rushing Asha'man forces; Civil War between factions fighting for the Lion Throne; and huge renegade Aiel armies facing down Two-Rivers Folk allied with Seanchan Battalions.
Fireballs, Lightning, Bale Fire, and Earth Eruptions surround well-loved characters in visceral one-on-one combat (Perrin, Mat, and Rand, of course.. but also Thom, Logain, Birgitte, and even Loial). This book includes a ton of heart-pounding action, vivid swords & sorcery imagery, and epic High Fantasy imagination.
The best aspect, however? Jordan is finally (FINALLY) cleaning up a very complicated plot by bringing threads together in preparation for the coming 'Final Battle'.
I admit that I have never read a text copy of 'Knife Of Dreams' - so I can't comment on the "missing" sections that other reviewers lament. I *can*, however, state that I never noticed any deficiencies in the story or interruptions in flow.
Kate Reading and Michael Kramer provide legitimately peerless narration: clear diction & enunciation, comfortable timbre & cadence, interested & emotive tone, and inspired voice-acting repertoires. Enjoy the performance.
Altogether, I welcome the return of those features of the 'Wheel Of Time' epic that made me decide to read the saga to its conclusion in the first place. This installment rates a solid 9 stars out of 10.

An Excellent Return to the Plot
While the last couple books had very little action or real plot development, this one was really good. Lots happening and finally some resolution to plot lines started many books ago.

The Wheel of time turns.....
#Audible1 This series is arguably the modern Lord of the Rings. Rich, detailed and filled with a unique take on old themes and words, the Wheel of time is a Must Read for those who call themselves fans of High Fantasy Genre books.
