À propos de cet audio

Now an original series starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

In The Dragon Reborn, the third novel in Robert Jordan’s number one New York Times best-selling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al’Thor undertakes a journey to prove himself worthy of being the Champion of Light.

Winter has stopped the war - almost - yet men are dying, calling out for the Dragon. But where is he?

Rand al’Thor has been proclaimed the Dragon Reborn. Traveling to the great fortress known as the Stone of Tear, he plans to find the sword Callandor, which can only be wielded by the Champion of Light, and discover if he truly is destined to battle The Dark One. Following Rand, Moiraine and their friends battle Darkhounds on the hunt, hoping they reach the Heart of the Stone in time for the next great test awaiting the Dragon Reborn.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant number one New York Times best sellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

I found Book three to be even better than one or two. All storylines in this book are very entertaining. Mat's luck is very interesting. Perrin's falcon is a fun new character. The three hunting for the black ajah is tense and engrossing.
I am actually glad Rand is not a main character. I remember having read this years ago and finding him to be a bit annoying. But at least there is finally growth in his character.
Unfortunately, Perrin takes on Rand's role (and continues his own) of whiner in this one. There is a ton of "I never asked for this" GoT Season 8 vibes throughout the series that continues into book three.
That said, the characters mostly begin to accept their roles in the story by the end.
I still do not understand the constant blaming of Moiraine for everything. Nynaeve should have by now moved past the thought that this is somehow all Moiraines fault just because she is the one who went to Emonds Field.

There are a few errors in the audiobook which surprised me because I'd never heard errors like this before. For example Kramer says something like, "Perrin was too tired and hungry to worry about being respectful. And too hungry too, he realized". The third word there should be "angry". In another part, he says Lan "decided" to move like a shadow during a fight. The word in the book is "seemed". He seemed to move like shadow. How does something like this get through editing?
Otherwise again expertly read by Kramer and Reading

I find its a really good book/series. In my mind Robert Jordan is one of the best authors out there. He knows how to write a story. As of yet i have not found a book of his i didn't like. I find this book is a bit fater paced and Matrim my favorite character is a bit more in this one.

It has taken me until this book to believe in Jordan’s vast scope and the dual narrators delivery of the story. While I would say there are more diverse and entertaining narrators out there, they get the job done. Jordan is proving to me his mastery of story telling and I’m totally sold on continuing this epic series! #Audible1

In this third book in the Wheel of Time series, Mr Jordan goes grittier.

He weaves four narratives together, following Mat, Perrin, and Egwene mostly - while Rand continues to flee his fate. This novel extends into Tel'aran'rhiod (the dream world) and brightens the richness of the world Jordan is creating by travels through cities and realms, on trails and on ships. There is far more violence and death in this novel and it introduces a memorable warlike race with the warrior code of Seguleh, the social structure of the Ademre, the militaristic tradition of Klingons, and the ferocity of Dothraki: all heavily reminiscent of Fremen: the Aeil.

The character development continues and the dialogue is improving, while Jordan's descriptions are astounding. Hot, bright Fire, and cold Darkness compete to dominate Jordan's environments...with vivid descriptions of smells and sights - rendering unforgettable imagery.
my only complaint: This book has a bit of a too-cute feel to it after the climax..attempting to tie up too many loose ends while still laying the foundations of a series. Jordan almost takes the need for a stand-alone novel too seriously, but introduces so many themes that it interferes with the endeavor. He carefully reintroduces conflict that feels almost tacked-on, given his efforts previously. By the end of the novel, there is frustration rather than satisfaction.

Michael Kramer and Kate Reading are simply the best tandem of readers in Audiobooks. They actually put very subtle accents to characters of different races wothout overdoing it.

Altogether, this production of a startlingly well-crafted adventure is worth 9.5 out of 10 stars

Getting Darker. Loving it.

This book seems to be have reorganized as the author decided to expand the series. My feeling is that he intended to write a trilogy at first, which was the predominant epic size in that era, but decided to expand the series. Due to this it looks like he struggled to catch up with character development for the supporting major characters (the Two Rivers characters plus Min and Elayne) plus fill in some world building details and fleshing out of minor characters such as Moraine. Because of this Rand becomes a minor character in his eponymous novel, but the few parts where he is actually the POV character seem to be in keeping with what should have been his journey towards the final battle i.e. grabbing Calendar and perhaps heading to the close the Dark One's prison. Obviously, there would have had to been more focus on taking Calendar and raising an army to fight, but that could have been done in this or perhaps one or two more books.

In any event, the writing is still strong, but we can see the timelines are likely being altered here when we hear in The Shadow Rising that nobody seems to remember Suan and Moraine being best friends before they were raised to full Aes Sedai, except for Verin and Eladia, but Suan and Moraine were only raised about 15 years prior and were both late 30's at the start of Eye of the World, so there would have been literally servants that remembered them as novices! Likely, their friendship would have been the worst kept secret in the tower.

Overall, pacing was pretty good, but their were some issues with story and timeline inconsistencies creeping in, which isn't particularly odd in such a large series. I just think this was the weakest of the first 3-5 books, but that's still a very good book by any standards.

Weakest of the first three

This story is fantastic. I continue to be surprised as I follow this story. This isn't my first reading of this series but this production is worth the price of admission.

Worth the price of admission
