Publisher's Summary

Now an original series starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

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 Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

The seals of Shayol Ghul are weak now, and the Dark One reaches out. The Shadow is rising to cover humankind.

In Tar Valon, Min sees portents of hideous doom. Will the White Tower itself be broken?

In the Two Rivers, the Whitecloaks ride in pursuit of a man with golden eyes, and in pursuit of the Dragon Reborn.

In Cantorin, among the Sea Folk, High Lady Suroth plans the return of the Seanchan armies to the mainland.

In the Stone of Tear, the Lord Dragon considers his next move. It will be something no one expects, not the Black Ajah, not Tairen nobles, not Aes Sedai, not Egwene or Elayne or Nynaeve.

Against the Shadow rising stands the Dragon Reborn....

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.

Sometimes frustratingly slow

If you’ve gotten this far along (like me), you’re in it for the whole journey.
This series takes investment, and I can’t help but feel a little cheated on my return with this instalment.
After roughly 25 hours of listening, I can’t really think of any major plot developments- other than at the absolute end of the book.
Very slow, almost painfully so at points- my chest hurt at times just willing something significant to happen.
In the end- will I go back for more? Absolutely!

Skip this one and watch a summary video instead

Book 10 of the Wheel of Time....they have been getting worse over the last few books but this one takes the cake. A relatively long book and nothing happens. The previous novel ends with Rand and Nynaeve doing something that presumably would have wide sweeping effects across this book, especially with Rand and the Black Tower. However we only get 1 chapter and a 2 minute epilogue from Rand's perspective the entire book. The rest of the book follows the supporting cast and all of their current storylines and barely progresses them at all.

This entire book could have been condensed into 5 chapters and added to the next book. It's a waste of time and I think it could probably be skipped without consequence. Unfortunately I'm 10 books in and have to continue. Also the "climax" is basically an incident of the level that would be relegated to midway through the previous books. Pretty disappointing.

The Slog

This book is a known slog. It can be a bit tough at times as RJ's writing hit a low point. Your first read through will be rough, but this book has a place in the story and I've found I appreciate it more after my second and third read.

Filler book that barely moved the story

Almost nothing happened. The perfoamces were fantastic as always, as was the writing but feels like everything could have been accomplished in 1/4 the time and added to the next book. 75% of the story could have been dropped as it will have no affect on the book and would not be missed

End of the slog?

I love Jordan's work, and although I didn't enjoy this instalment I didn't hate it either. I found this book, as with the previous book, didn't go anywhere! It was very dull...

Now I could listen to Kate Reading and Michael Kramer read the phone book and enjoy it, and at some points in this book it felt like they where reading a phone book!

Funny thing is, this book has got me excited about the next one, as I am told the story really starts to pick back up again.

Worst book in the series

Despite the advice of other reviewers, I did not want to skip this book. However, it was agonizing to get through. If I was reading a hard copy of this book I never would have finished. Fortunately, having it read to you is less painful. On to the next!

Another "filler" book in the series

This book was another sequel used mostly to fill pages. Not a ton happening and probably could have been 1/3 the length. Maybe just get the Coles Notes version.

Snails pace

Worst book of the series... Could've summarized all the events with sufficient detail in about 4 chapters. Save yourself 24hrs of your life and read a summary on Wikipedia instead of buying this snooze fest

The Wheel of Time turns......

#Audible 1 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.
