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.

"Nothing short of remarkable." (Library Journal)

"The Wheel of Time [is] rapidly becoming the definitive American fantasy saga....A fantasy tale seldom equalled and still more seldom surpassed in English." (The Chicago Sun-Times)

"Quite excellent volume." (Booklist)

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Of course it is another brilliant book of the WOT series, but narration is beyond superb!

Climactic ending

As usual we are treated to some long winded descriptions of irrelevant things . And this weird thing where everyone stereotypes each other based on gender . Every culture has this sharp division between the sexes . OMG! It’s like a whole theme the power is feminine or masculine. Ohh how are they going to tackle that on the TV show … I’m going to look into this . Oh final battle was a masterpiece of writing . God tier imo

Dumai's Wells

Dumai's Wells is a masterwork by itself. I get chills and tear up every time I read or hear it.

Jordan at his best

This was the best of Wheel of Time from start to finish. Memory of Light is the only one better later in the series so enjoy.

long overdue review :)

I thought i would write a review anyways, even that it is 8 years or so late :D
This book was really really good, loved all the new characters, and loved how many things will happen caused by many things from this book...
already loading the 7th book to listen to it.

honestly the most thing i liked here is the gathering of a lot of the characters with the dragon, and a lot of laughs i had in this book... can't really write down what i liked here, because for those who didn't read the book yet, i don't want to spoil it to you..

after i read the last book i will re-read the whole series again.

Enjoy.
