À propos de cet audio

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....

Ce que les critiques en disent

"The Wheel of Time...is a fantasy tale seldom equaled and still less often surpassed in English." ( Chicago Sun-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 on The Wheel of Time)

This book moved fast and is the beginning of characters rejoining for the end. Left wondering a few things. Thus excited to begin the next book. I also enjoyed the interview with Brandon Sanderson. Enjoy!

Enjoyed!

Glad to see Brandon doing a great job with the series. To be Honest I was a little worried that he wouldn't have met my high expectations but it most certainly did. great job on the book!

Amazing!!!

It was smooth sailing, well written, tied up loose ends and propelled the story forward.

The best out of the previous 11.

as someone who has just Marathon 12 bucks straight before hitting this book I could immediately notice the difference in sales as the characters and the plot was reintroduced at the beginning of the chapters. I noticed some subtle differences in the ways that characters interact with each other and in traits they had and reactions. would otherwise be out of place. you have a very subtle but I picked up on them because I had just sat through all the other books from 02 11 before this. once I got over my initial frustration and pessimism I realized that a lot was happening and there was tons of fanservice and plot twists and I just fell in love with this. I think in the beginning it was slow for Sanderson to get into the groove of writing a wheel of Time, but I began 2 appreciate. The world building had already been set up by Jordan and now it was time for Sanderson to use his skill set at develop the plot and set up the foundation that we need to end this story. I'm very happy but how this first third of the finale has been laid out and as it stands I feel that Jordan would have been very happy to know that this is how his world was being concluded

had to ease into the new style, but fell into it.

The measuring stick I planned to use for Sanderson was if he made me feel the same way about the characters. When Naynaeve was introduced in this book, I knew Sanderson was the perfect choice as it didn't take more than 5 minutes before I wanted to box her ears!!

The previous 3-4 books in the series seemed to drag on a lot with all of the details and seemingly useless information that at times I felt bored and was tempted to skip chapters, it was if Jordan was told by publishers to drag the series on for the profits. I was a little concerned when I heard the last book was extended to 3 books but Sanderson showed none of of the slow paced storytelling from the previous few books. This book kept you at the edge of your seat, everything you kept expecting to happen in previous books, but never materialized, poured out of this book and was so addicting that when you told yourself you would listen to one chapter before bed, you had to force yourself to stop after 3-4 chapters.

I can't wait to start the next book, the excitement felt after finishing the first 10 books has returned and the adrenaline is pumping just waiting to continue the story and see what happens

Sanderson was the perfect choice to finish

Sanderson’s style is really refreshing but does feel different. He loves to constantly alternate between which character we are seeing the unfold, chapter-to-chapter. If
You’re read other Sanderson works, you know he loves to beat down a main character in to the darkest, lowest moments of their lives, and describe their pain and how it affects them. So honestly, he handles a struggling Rand very well.
This book is clearly focussed on setting up our pieces for the finale, putting everyone where they need to be. And it accomplishes that well. The middle books of this series had a struggle with actually accomplishing “story milestones” (if you want evidence, pay attention to how every time a Pat event is discussed or has relevance to this book, it’s usually an event that happened in the first few books.) and this book is resolving that issue.

Michael Kramer and Kate Reading are always good. I’m not downplaying them they are some of the best. But they do consistently struggle with the changing of word pronounciation, or character accents changing. This is not a new issue. It’s a minor complaint, as we’re talking fantasy and there are a LOT of strange words in these books. But that’s why it’s important to at least have consistent pronunciation. It can be confusing when a word is suddenly pronounced differently, or too similar to another fantasy word, (Domani and Damane come to mind.) That said, every other aspect of their reading is perfect.

Simply put, it’s a good book. you can see the end in sight when you read this book, and it’s exciting and daunting all at the same time.

It really feels like a beginning of the end

Gathering Storm was a great book and ao far my favorite. it is sad that Robert Jordan died before these last 3 books were released but Ido love how Brandon Sanderson is finishing the series

Great Book

I love this series. I binge listen to it often. Aside from some regional word differences, I really like the presentation. The only downfall being Michal Kramer changing his reading style and possibly microphone. He used to sound more jovial. Now he sounds overly produced and there's an annoying ring from the new recording process used to make him sound more hollow. I don't like it. I think his style from books 6 to 10 are the best.

Great series.
