Description
Rosamund Pike returns with an outstanding narration of The Great Hunt, Book Two of the Wheel of Time, now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund as Moiraine.
In The Great Hunt, the second novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al’Thor and his companions set out to retrieve a powerful magical artifact from The Dark One’s Shadowspawn.
For centuries, gleemen have told the tales of The Great Hunt of the Horn. So many tales about each of the Hunters, and so many Hunters to tell of...
Now the Horn itself is found: the Horn of Valere long thought only legend, the Horn which will raise the dead heroes of the ages.
And it is stolen.
In pursuit of the thieves, Rand al’Thor is determined to keep the Horn out of the grasp of The Dark One. But he has also learned that he is The Dragon Reborn—the Champion of Light destined to stand against the Shadow time and again. It is a duty and a destiny that requires Rand to uncover and master magical capabilities he never imagined he possessed.
Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® has captivated millions of readers 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.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal....The battle scenes have the breathless urgency of firsthand experience....The evil laced into the forces of good, the dangers latent in any promised salvation, the sense of unavoidable onslaught of unpredictable events bear the marks of American national experience during the last three decades.”—The New York Times
“Adventure and mystery and dark things that move in the night—a combination of Robin Hood and Stephen King that is hard to resist. Furthermore, Jordan makes the reader put down the book regretting the wait for the next title in the series.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

A masterpiece
In my opinion, Rosamund Pikes reading of The Great Hunt, and the Eye of the World, are poetic works of art. I’m hooked and drawn in by her narration. I feel that this epic story truly comes to life. I tried listening to the other rendition and for me it pales in comparison. I hope she continues to read more books in this series because it’s been such a special experience to immerse myself in.

Merci Rosamund Pike!
J'adore cette version, j'espère tellement qu'elle fera toute la série! Les voix sont toutes crédibles et il y a une fluidité dans le récit qui nous berce.

stunning narration which has drawn me in...
As a confession of sorts, I watched the Amazon Prime series season 1...and thought it very well done indeed. Then I read some reviews, and heard how loved was Rosamund Pike's narration. I agreed completely as I listened to Book 1. Then I listened to this Book 2 of the series and agreed even more...
Nuance, phrasing, pacing, characterization, delicacy of performance ...she has all of it in her performance... and more, she seems to so well embody and deeply understand the characters that I think it must again deepen her performance as an actress in the series... and so already I look forward to seeing the 2nd year of the Amazon Prime series when it comes out... and so deepening my enjoyment of the whole Wheel of Time.
..and now I'm reading ahead, as there are no more of Rosamund Pike's narrations available.
I'll wait for them, ready to enjoy another superlative performance, with my gratitude. Thank you.

A fantastic and compelling recording
the quality of the sound and production, as well as the skill of the narrator made it so I couldn't try any other version of this audiobook. Rosamund and the team are amazing.

Rosemund Pike is the BEST
The best narrator I've heard by far with the widest range of voices and all encompassing ability to perform Rosemund truly makes this book a mindscape to come back to. Her ability to render emotions from words and enthral listeners has me burning my dinner because I stop and listen. I hope the producing company and Rosemund herself keep making audiobooks because they're fantastic with her. I'd listen to a book just because she's narrating now.
also the story is great too!

Fantastic story and narration
I don’t know why I slept on this series for so long! If you’re a fantasy fan, give this a listen - another exciting, magical entry in The Wheel of Time. Rosamund Pike knocked this out of the park with her narration, I can’t wait for more. PLEASE, MacMillan Audio - keep these audiobooks coming and retain Ms. Pike as narrator until the series has been re-released in its entirety.

Beautifully told
The range of voices Rosalind Pike manages is remarkable. Thoroughly enjoyed this telling. Don’t think I can listen to the next book without Pike’s narration. Will she do the third book? I hope so.

Great narration and enjoyable fantasy saga continued
I love Rosemund Pike narrating this book series- the various voices and accents she does throughout the whole book is so impressive. I found this book a little slow compared to the first, but still good and I’m excited to read/listen to the 3rd eventually.

Great story and narration
The book is as good as the first one, the narration however is a good deal better, very dynamic and living the story, without the random shouting or any cringe moment felt for the first book. Waiting eagerly for the next ones !

When the narrator blows you away...
I've stated previously how much I loved this series as a child growing up. Eagerly awaiting the release of every book. I loved them all, I cried, rejoiced, mourned. The story had felt so alive and I had never thought that anybody would be able to 'tell' me the story as well as I had read it. I had tried the other narrators but... it hadn't felt right. They're not bad, I'm listening Sanderson. But Pike has blown me away. This isn't the first time, nor the second considering that I read Eye of the World. No, the first time she blew my mind was when I watched a play called Madame de Sade in London. I knew then, when she stood equal to Dame Judi Dench in that theatre, that she was someone to watch. And she has not disappointed. The performance is rich, the characters all given their own voices. Her words, those of Jordan, paints the world in bright colors. This is such a pleasure to listen to.
I truly hope Rosamund Pike will complete the whole series. I'm willing to wait for every book, as I did decades ago for the series. This narration has done the world justice.

THANK GOD, ROSAMUND PIKE IS BACK!
even though I like Kate’s narration, I can’t stand Michael’s. I don’t mean he’s bad, he’s just NOT FOR ME.
So glad Rosamund Pike is back!

Rosamund Pike deserves an award
Both Wheel of Time books narrated by Rosamund Pike are phenomenal. There are times when listening, I stop, turn to my wife in shock and go:
“This is ALL one person.”
I’ve never enjoyed narration so much as I have when she does it, and it’s so true to how I’ve experienced the characters when I’ve read the books on my own. If there was an Oscar for best narrator, she should have it! Much better then the other WoT audiobook narrators, so much so I’ll have to wait another year for Pike’s narration of “The Dragon Reborn”
Buy this version, you won’t be disappointed!!

Rosamund saves The Wheel of Time
The second book in the series read by Rosamund Pike continues to bring this series to life in ways that the previous recordings never could. The entire production is phenomenal. I had attempted to get into this series so many times over the years and never could. Now it’s like a feast for the ears and imagination. The story comes to life and it as enjoyable as book one.

I only wish pre-sale of book 3 was available now
Rosamund Pike was made to make these audiobooks. She understands the material and brings it to life in such a say as you adventure with Rand and allbof the Two Rivers Folk.
Hopefully book 3 is ready before season 2 of the Prime series is released.
This fan of WOT is beyond pleased.

Phenomenal
Rosamund Pike is one of the best narrators I have ever listened to. She brings the story alive. I've even listened to a couple of Jane Austin books she did on here. The way she gives characters unique voices is both fitting for their personalities and impressive. I know who's speaking before it's even specified, after getting to know them. Just amazing. I really hope she does more of the series!
For the book itself, The Wheel of Time is classic. If you enjoy rich worlds of fantasy and magic, you need to experience this story. The amount of life and detail Robert Jordan put into this world is amazing. This series has been a staple part of my life since I was about 8 and trying to read the big books my mom read lol. I might be biased, but it's worth diving into.

Breathtaking story and narration!
I just finished the audiobook of Robert Jordan’s “The Great Hunt” narrated by Rosamund Pike, and I’m awestruck.
The story is as epic as any in fantasy, with character drama and development that makes you care at the individual human level, all the way up to world (and time!) shaking events.
And Pike’s absolutely masterful performance brings it to life more than you can imagine! The emotion, tension, romance and battles leap from the page into your mind’s eye thanks to Rosamund Pike, who has to be the most gifted narrator alive today.
Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time, and let Rosamund Pike narrate all 14 books of Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time!

Rosamund Pike Makes this Book
This book is simply fantastic. It's more mature than the first book and has some very genuinely shocking, emotional, and almost scary moments. This coupled with Rosamund Pike's fantastic performance and it'll be hard to not finish this book in a week. I found myself excusing myself from conversations with my roommate to go listen to this book. At times I grew annoyed at Rand, as he comes to terms with who he is but those moments are far and few between, compared to the times I was actually chewing my fingernails in anticipation.
I'm now torn as I want to listen to the next book, but don't want a new narrator.
