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…

Slow with a resounding finish!

Most of the story drags, but the ending is incredibly action-packed! It was worth slogging through.

love, love, love The Wheel of time.

just an amazing story.
Best Fantasy Series I've ever listened to.
If you're debating on this series, don't debate. This book series needs to be in your library.

Just, such an awesome series.

Some of the best books, that I have ever read and even better in audio.

I love this series.

every single book continues to draw me in. it's like a drug I'm addicted to. once I start listening, I can't stop.

Awesome! So much with a few slow exceptions

My only real beef with this book is at times it was a little plodding. Even when it was supposed to convey information in a revealing way it was at times, truly unnecessary. The ending was a fabulous thing. Though the very very ending was too abrupt. It's like much of the middle could've been exchanged for a little more at the end. Regardless and excellent read.

WoT fights with honor.

Just like all the books in this series: An amazing listen! Though the chapter layout on this audibook was different, and a little annoying compared to the prior ones. it'd often go back and replay a few seconds that had already been played. Not something to destroy the experience, but just a little distracting at times.

masterpiece

if you are on book nine then you know how good the series is, enjoy.

Some great plot progress!

Sometimes Robert Jordan is prone to dragging out unnecessary sub plots or filling the main plot with grudgingly lengthy descriptive detail…okay so not sometimes. It’s pretty often. But this book felt shorter snd made quicker progress than some of the others. I enjoyed it.

thumbs up

Good performance by the actors. This was a very drawn out story but finally got there!

2016 & You Haven't Fixed The Chapters & Repeating Audio?@

Why would you still have this product on the store? I've read through many complaints regarding the repeating "chapters" and the 4 minute "chapters". Is it that difficult for an audio engineer, or whoever puts your titles online for purchase, to edit the audio into the actual chapters and remove the many repeated sentences? The horribly short "chapters" and the repeated audio killed my immersion. I prefer to set a sleep timer to end at each chapter, but alas this did no good with this "book". I've thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the series. I hope the remaining books aren't put together so poorly.

Yes, you get to read the review twice to give you a small taste of what to expect if you purchase this book. I do not recommend this one book from the series.
