Publisher's summary

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

In Knife of Dreams, the eleventh novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle, is upon Rand al'Thor—and now the Dragon Reborn must confront the Dark One as humanity's only hope.

The dead are walking, men die impossible deaths, and it seems as though reality itself has become unstable…

Abandoning Rand’s war against the Dark One, Perrin Aybara has made his own truce with the Seanchan in his obsessive quest to save his wife Faile from the Shaido and destroy their mutual enemies. To achieve victory, Perrin must render the Shaido Wise One channelers in Malden powerless. But even as he puts his desperate plan into action, Masema Dagar, the Prophet of the Dragon, moves against him.

Traveling with circus performers through Seanchan-controlled Altara, Mat Cauthon attempts to court Tuon, the Daughter of the Nine Moons, to complete their fateful prophesized marriage. Despite being surrounded by Seanchan seeking to kill her, Mat’s intended leads him on a merry chase while he wages guerrilla warfare to protect her.

Knowing he cannot defeat the Dark One while at war with the Seanchan, Rand brokers for a truce with the Daughter of the Nine Moons. Unaware of Tuon’s actual location, the Dragon Reborn walks into a trap set by the Forsaken Semirhage, who possesses knowledge about his powers that will either shatter or steel his resolve in the forthcoming conflict.

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 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.

Critic reviews

"Explodes with motion, as multiple plot lines either conclude or advance, and the march to Tarmon Gai'don, the climactic last battle between the Dragon Reborn and the Dark One, begins in earnest." (Publishers Weekly)

"The battle scenes have the breathless urgency of firsthand experience, and the...evil laced into the forces of good, the dangers latent in any promised salvation, the sense of the unavoidable onslaught of unpredictable events bear the marks of American national experience during the last three decades." (The New York 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)

book 11

There seemed to be a bit more going on with this one than the last. Major events happened that were long foreshadowed and Rand got even more battered than he already was. Hope the guy catches a break in the next one.

Really good

I loved the ending of the epilogue. Gave me chills. 10/10 would recommend. So good I may read it again.

Back into a world of fun

A vast improvement over CROT the book makes me believe in the series again. Not only does the plot move forward but many major loose ends are finally tied up. Robert Jordan redeems himself with this book and makes me look forward to the next one.

Amazing

I loved this book. In my personal opinion, I think that this one was the best one yet and the ending.. Let the Lord of Chaos rule is a major cliffhanger. Why did he say the phrase that the Dark One said himself to Demandred.

Good Story Between Descriptions of the Dresses

An awesome story which could have been cut by 75%. To get to the story you just have to wade through the the descriptions of a thousand different dresses and even more people's feelings! Wish I had a dime for every time a woman in these books was incensed!

Best series hands down

I thoroughly enjoy listening as well as reading along. The narrators are fanominal. They have helped me so much throughout this series in understanding the pronunciation. They give such life to the characters I find when I'm reading that I use their voices in my head.

Missing part in chapter 24 min 14. A part is missing

Amazing last work from Robert Jordan

It’s unfortunate Robert Jordan wasn’t able to finish the series but he left his series on a strong mark and set up Sanderson for the finish. These books are and will always be jordans novels even if he wasn’t able to write the last three.

Knife of Dreams

Yet another great book in the cliff hanger wheel of time series by Robert Jordan. Can't wait until the next book comes out.

awesome

amazing book. love Robert Jordan and I love this series of books to!!! definitely worth a read.
