Publisher's summary

Now an original series starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

In The Dragon Reborn, the third novel in Robert Jordan’s number one New York Times best-selling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al’Thor undertakes a journey to prove himself worthy of being the Champion of Light.

Winter has stopped the war - almost - yet men are dying, calling out for the Dragon. But where is he?

Rand al’Thor has been proclaimed the Dragon Reborn. Traveling to the great fortress known as the Stone of Tear, he plans to find the sword Callandor, which can only be wielded by the Champion of Light, and discover if he truly is destined to battle The Dark One. Following Rand, Moiraine and their friends battle Darkhounds on the hunt, hoping they reach the Heart of the Stone in time for the next great test awaiting the Dragon Reborn.

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 number one New York Times best sellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

Have read the books so many years ago and this is certainly an efficient way to revisit the world.

Who was the editor?

As a life-long fan of fantasy, I’m glad to make it through three books of The Wheel of Time, and I’m enjoying it overall. I’ve got to say though that the series is a bit of a slog... Not much has happened thus far....and there’s a lot of weakly employed narrative technique where the characters need to engage in some sub-mission which is tangential to the larger plot. This novel can be summed up in one sentence: we’ve got to get a sword! Wasn’t book two: we’ve got to get the horn that we already got in book one. I’m hoping that the next book doesn’t involve another sub-mission!

Brilliant writing

There really is something to say about the depth of characters you wade through as the story progresses. I am always on the edge of my seat and waiting for the next moment to arrive, even though this is probably my 3rd read through.

Angst and humor, delicious!

The performance was of course wonderful as it always is with Kramer and Reading. They are two of the best in the business. The story itself was fantastic. It pushed the story along nicely and made me eager to start the next book. I am enjoying this series immensely.

Getting ready for the TV Series

Listening/Reading again, eagerly waiting to see this one on TV. I've enjoyed this all over again.

Jordan creates such an immersive world. Some complain its too detailed, but I disagree. The picture he paints in the mind is as sharp and clear as Tolkien. When someone lights a pipe, you smell it.

If you are reading this before jumping in, I say this, JUMP. You will not regret it.

Dragon Finally Moving

Great book. Jordan's books sometime drag given the amount of detail he includes, but this book was a good read from the go; no drag. Great plot; fun and interesting characters; a unique style of storytelling. The Dragon Reborn had finally arrived!!
