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.

Too much detail

Great story, one of my favorite chapters from the entire series is the last chapter in this book. However I feel that he goes into so much detail that this book gets strewn out far too long, and at several points I am thinking let's get on with the main story already...

I enjoyed this one

This one seemed to be more about build up than the others but I thought it was very good overall. Plus that final scene made it seem like the build up was necessary and worth it.

Excellent

This is an excellent series, unfortunately I've come in after all the books have been written, and I'm listening to them one after another. It will probably take me until the end of the year to complete, but I plan on doing it! The narration is absolutely excellent!

Long, but necessary.

There are a couple books in the middle off this series that seem to have filler. This is one of those. I can appreciate that the extra chapters are there to set up the more exciting parts that come after or to help develop the characters involved, but that doesn't mean I don't want to just skip them to get to some favourite part later on.

Perrin and Faile are my favorites!
