Publisher's summary

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

In Lord of Chaos, the sixth novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al’Thor, the Dragon Reborn, builds his army of Light even as sworn enemies--and supposed allies--move against him.

Now ruling Tear, Andor, and Caemlyn, among other nations, Rand is recruiting all men capable of channeling to be trained as his Asha'man soldiers. The warrior Aiel clans have pledged loyalty to Rand, acknowledging him as their chief of chiefs, even though the Shaido Aiel remain a threat.

Split into two factions, the Aes Sedai of the White Tower and their rebel counterparts both seek to ally themselves with the Dragon Reborn. Rand knows all too well the manipulative nature of the Aes Sedai, no matter which side of their internal war they stand upon. But even he cannot predict just how desperate, cruel, and treacherous they can be.

And in the shadows, the Forsaken and the Dark One are conjuring even more chaos...

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 #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.

The Last High Point for a While.

This series has its ebbs and flows over the course of the first dozen books. The first five are excellent, though Jordan's pacing and style aren't for everyone. This book, the sixth in the series, is very good, but it marks the spot where, in my opinion, the series really slowed down. Important and interesting things happen in this book, but there's a heavy dose of planning, plotting, and discussing. Still, a good book, but not the best in the series.

Perfect

Love it so much, that I can't be bothered by the monthly credits, I can hardly stop listening to work. Hooked all the way. Love the dual narrators too. Only downside is that I sometimes get aes sedai names mixed up, but a quick pause and google helps with that.
