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

In The Shadow Rising, the fourth novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al’Thor now wields the sword Callandor. He is both the Champion of Light and the Dragon Reborn. Now, he seeks answers to another prophecy that lies with the warrior people known as the Aiel to put him on the path of learning how to wield the One Power.

Accompanied by Moiraine Damodred, Rand arrives at the Aiel Waste and is granted permission by the Wise Ones to enter the sacred city of Rhuidean. After passing through a doorframe ter'angreal, Moiraine gains foresight while the Aiel await Rand's return, either with both arms marked by dragon symbols, validating his identity as He Who Comes With the Dawn, the Chief of Chiefs of all the Aiel—or to never emerge at all.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® 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.

Hoping for the full series!

Previously mentioned audio glitches are now FIXED!
Rosamund continues to knock it out of the park with these- some of the best audiobook narration I’ve ever heard. Her character work is incredible, and her narration is gripping. Please continue making these through the end of the series!

One of my favorite audiobook narrators!

Rosamund pike performs rather than narrates. While I love Reading/Kramer these are my preferred versions of this series.

Rosamund brings the story to life

I hesitate to listen to more of the series because Rosamund hasn’t narrated them yet. The story itself feels like a grand tapestry has been woven and we are seeing the last quarter of it being woven.

Still doing the story justice

Rosamund Pike has breathed new life into an old love. This continues to be a favorite of mine. Lets hope we will see her narrate the next book.

Amazing narration by Rosamund Pike

Highly recommend and I cannot wait for the next book in the series narrated by Rosamund Pike. Well worth it!!!

Entertaining Fantasy Book

I loved listening to actress Rosemund Pike’s voice narration of various characters in this fantasy series.

The story telling comes to life.

Rosamond Pike is by far the best story teller of all time. I have listen to many book and she is by far the best. The book is great and I cannot wait until she does then next book.

Rosamund is exquisite

I’d pay money to watch Rosamund narrate these books. She brings each character to life. I’ve read the series and have my favorites. Her narration is art.

Rosamund Pike's performance

not finishing the series with Rosamund Pike!!!! The old narrators just don't do this story justice. I really did try with them and after hearing Pike they just don't have her passion for the story and say things so differently I'm lost with which character is talking and where they are cause they say them so differently. I really want to hear how the story ends but not at the cost of hearing the other narrators' horrible voices. I'll just make up my own ending or read about in wiki I guess. Audible did a HUGE disservice by not finishing the series with Rosamund Pike!!!! I saved up credits to get the rest of the series but now that they aren't having her do them I think I'm going to cancel my membership. I have to admit the books were better than the TV show, than again aren't books always better than movies/TV shows lol!!! Sorry Audible you just lost a huge fan base here by canceling a magnificent narrator all too soon. Rosamund Pike was amazing and you should had her finishing the series.

R. Pike > K. Reading & M. Kramer

I am so glad I began with the Rosamund Pike version of this series.
Had I started with the originals, I probably would not have even finished the first book.
I tried a preview of book 5 read by Kate Reading & Michael Kramer and struggled to finish even that.
No way can I possibly listen to them drone on for the remaining 11 books in this series.

I can only hope that she will read the full series.
Considering she has gotten this far, it would only be right.
There is no way anyone who started listening to her voice can switch to the other 2.
If she does not, my Wheel of Time audiobook journey will sadly end with book 4.
