Audie Award-winner Rosamund Pike returns for the fourth installment of the Wheel of Time series, The Shadow Rising. The winner of Best Female narrator for The Eye of the World delivers another mesmerizing performance.

"Rosamund Pike brings a fresh narration to the first book in the beloved Wheel of Time series. At 33 hours, this audiobook is no small undertaking, but Pike's impressive performance leaves listeners wanting more."—AudioFile on Eye of the World (Earphones Award winner)

“Through her smooth, dramatic performance, award-winning actor Rosamund Pike amplifies the new audiobook of book one in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series.”—BookPage on Eye of the World (Earphones Award winner)

The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

In The Shadow Rising, the fourth novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al’Thor now wields the sword Callandor. He is both the Champion of Light and the Dragon Reborn. Now, he seeks answers to another prophecy that lies with the warrior people known as the Aiel to put him on the path of learning how to wield the One Power.

Accompanied by Moiraine Damodred, Rand arrives at the Aiel Waste and is granted permission by the Wise Ones to enter the sacred city of Rhuidean. After passing through a doorframe ter'angreal, Moiraine gains foresight while the Aiel await Rand's return, either with both arms marked by dragon symbols, validating his identity as He Who Comes With the Dawn, the Chief of Chiefs of all the Aiel—or to never emerge at all.

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.

Amazing performance

Rosamund Pike continues to knock it out of the park. I drew this book out over two months because I didn’t want it to end!

Great story, fantastic narration

I have wanted to read these books for years, but I just don't have the time to pick up the books. I wanted to listen to the audiobooks then instead, but find the original readings extremely dry. I was thrilled to see when Pike began to read them.

The way that she creates voices for every single character is truly amazing to behold imo. With the average audiobook, if you lose focus for too long you lose the plot, but with Pike giving a full performance you have no problems knowing a switch in character or conversation.

I hope to see her do the rest of the books, it is such an amazing show of hard work and craft, bringing pivotal literature to life.

10/10

Entirely captivating

The only thing that I dislike is the fact that I can’t get the next book read by Rosamund Pike. She did such an amazing job. I’m hooked on the series.

Great version

I especially like the narration by Rosamund Pike. her ability to establish many characters is astounding.
My greatest disappointment is that I cannot locate book 5 narrated by Rosamund Pike. I hope it does not take too long to be available.

Rosemund Pike is fabulous exclamation

This is one of my favourite books in the series. I love how each character starts to develop their own unique skills and talents and I love the addition of the Aiel into the mix. I don’t want to give away specifics so won’t add more but it’s a fantastic story. I love Rosamund Pike’s narration. She is just fantastic and I’m constantly amazed at her vocal range here.

These books have been given new life through Rosamund's reading. I can't say enough good things about it.

Brilliant!

Chapter 5 - Questioners - Has parts in the audio that go dead. Aside from getting a paper copy to read it myself, I have no idea what is being said. It is really unfortunate since until now the book has been flawless.

Some parts have audio errors

Narrating this series is a monstrous task. The sheer number of characters to keep track of from book to book is enormous; making them distinct, consistent, and memorable I'm sure takes tremendous attention to detail.

One can only laud Ms Pike for the read - it's very well coordinated and coherent in-and-of itself. Clearly, a lot of hard and very skilful work went into this recording. Brava!

The voice colour and characterizations are interesting if slightly more uniform in colour than one might have hoped. All characters from the major geography of the story have some regional accent from the British Isles, characters from another distinct region are clearly Nordic inspired, and yet another people sound deeply southern American. Fair and good, if not quite what I heard in my own head (I always heard Illianers speak with a Spanish inflection, for example, with Bayle Domon inspired somehow by Indigo Montoya - but I digress).

I love Ms. Pike's English diction: it's crystal, like Mozart opera sung well. If you know what I mean, then you know what I mean.

That said, (and this is just my humble opinion) Ms Pike's choices when interpreting Rand al'Thor in this volume often lack textual foundation - something that can't be said of her performances in earlier volumes.


Spoiler Alert -----------------------------------
In this book, Rand's tone moves from that of a reserved, overwhelmed, and bewildered young man grappling with tremendous authority and treacherous opponents to that of an emphatic lunatic with a quickly loosening grip on reality, and back again. Discussion about Rand's overall arc through the series aside, there simply isn't evidence in the text of this book to suggest such extreme swings when this happens.

Worse, it leaves little room for Rand's progression in subsequent books, as his "madness" increases - if Rand's characterization betrays this level of insanity this early, where else can Ms Pike take him?
End Spoiler ------------------------------------


This is my only complaint thus far in an otherwise fabulous performance of a daunting Epic.

Hoping some choices are revisited in the next book
