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…

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.

Superlative narration! Wonderful!

If you've been reading the Wheel of Time series then you know how good the books can be. This one is a wonderful continuation and much better than some of the earlier, slower books.

Setup Book

I love the Wheel of Time series. This is now my 4th time going through the books and second by audiobook. But Winters Heart Is the unfornate must have book in a series that is this long. It sets up the remaining books wonderfully, but it just is not easy to get through.

a heartfelt story

when it comes to rands and mats journeys this story is full of reasoning and heartfelt actions, the adventures of tuon and cadsuanes journeys can be frustrating until balanced against how they need time to realize their culture's flaws and biases lead them to misuseing some of those who would otherwise be friends and join them willingly on their journey's voyages across their worlds

Underrated

The pacing is pretty bad. But on a reread if you try to care about all the characters and catch all the small details it’s not so bad. The Rand chapters are great as always. Better than books 8 and 10 overall.

Audio fixed

The audio problems many other reviewers have mentioned seemed to be resolved. I didn’t have any issues. I agree with most that this book is a trudge to get through even with the excellent narration, but it’s worth the listen.
