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....

Love this series!

I love this series so much and am 95% pleased!!! The only annoyance is some of the voice actors change the names of characters or pronounce them extremely differently 🤣🤣. For example, in one chapter, the reader pronounced the name that has sounded like "Brigita" as "Birgita" and a horse is sometimes called "Stepper" and other times "Stayer". They're minute details, but it seems like the production needs some streamlining with character names.

Great Series, Slow Book

WoT is an amazing series, and its a testament to the series that even it's worst book is entertaining enough, thought that may be the talent of Kramer and Reading doing some of the extra legwork.

Still a must read…

I understand the complaints laid against this book and for the most part agree. Thankfully, I’ve only ever heard of this series long after it’s completion. It’s a bearable read, personally, since I don’t have to wait years for the next book. I still say Jordan taking 6 long chapters to use the bowl of the winds in a previous book is far more egregious pacing than CoT.

Worth the listen

Even though the story did not progress much in this book it was still enjoyable and worth listening to.

The first half of this audiobook is in book nine

I’m only on chapter 9 but the entire book so far is word for word in the last audiobook. I was confused listening to the last one at one point where it just jumped into something completely random so I think the editors messed up somewhere during recording etc. its a bit frustrating because I don’t know how far I would need to jump ahead to hear anything new.

On going. Consistent.

Female reader could use better voices as sometimes one character sounds just like next. Passable.

Under appreciated even if not the best

No, it isn’t the best in the saga, but what it does is expand the scoop of the story like no other book in a series. For that reason, it will always be under appreciated. I still think it is a valuable part of the saga.
