Publisher's summary

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

In Winter's Heart, the ninth novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al'Thor and his friends face personal trials in their quests to build alliances against the Dark One.

After locating Masema Dagar, the Prophet of the Dragon, on Rand’s behalf, Perrin Aybara returns to his encampment to discover his wife Faile has been abducted by the Shaido Aiel. Determined to reclaim her, Perrin forgoes his mission, risking his army in pursuit of a dangerous and unpredictable enemy.

Wounded and trapped in the Seanchan-occupied city of Ebou Dar, Mat Cauthon is awaiting an opportunity to leave. But he is not the only one in hiding. Three Aes Sedai are desperate to escape. As Mat seeks a way to smuggle them all out of the city, he encounters his own prophesized fate when he meets the Daughter of the Nine Moons.

Rand himself is on a mission of vengeance. He has tracked the traitorous Asha’man who tried to kill him to Far Madding. It is a city where no one is capable of channeling the One Power, leaving Rand vulnerable to those who would stop at nothing to destroy the Dragon Reborn…

Fantastic book

If you made it to this part of the series, you have the best parts ahead. Enjoy the ride, it's a doozy.

What an ending!

If you’ve made it this far, then you expect the slow burn and the gradual build toward a pleasing conclusion. This novel is no different. Lord of Chaos was the high point for me so far, but I haven’t ceased to enjoy these later novels.

Great book just one gripe.

I loved the book and series, my only gripe has to do with how long winded the women's sections can be sometimes. When they take 15 minutes to complain about other people and then 20 more to describe what they decided to wear that day it can get a bit annoying.

Better than books 6, 7, 8

I feel like the series gets back on track with this book. Still a bit convoluted, but the story is good and more of the scenes are engaging.

Doesn’t live up to the (negative) hype

Started reading and listening to the Wheel of Time a few months ago, and was dreading this point in the series. I keep hearing that books 8 - 10 are week. This one really surprised me though. While the Perrin storyline early on was a bit dull I REALLY liked this one. Action packed, lots of character and storyline development - I just don’t understand what people are complaining about.

Another WoT book, another ending craving for more

The performances were amazing once again. One of my favorite entries to the series so far.

Good stuff.

What else can I say? I really enjoyed this book and I don't want to spoil it.

Still going strong

The narrators are still doing a great job of keeping up with the characters and the different voices. There are some discrepancies here and there but it is almost expected. It is a very longs series of books with many characters some of which change a bit over time. But the story remains incredible and Winter's Heart is one book you don't want to hold off on!

such a great addition.

great edition for the series. I enjoyed the story and the events. Thank you

it's getting better-

A little more action in this one! Didn't quite drawl out like the few previous books. I think I'm gonna be able to finish the series, I've come this far!
