The Gathering Storm

Book Twelve of the Wheel of Time

De: Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson

Narrado por: Michael Kramer, Kate Reading

Now an original series starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers and listeners around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters.

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

The seals of Shayol Ghul are weak now, and the Dark One reaches out. The Shadow is rising to cover humankind.

In Tar Valon, Min sees portents of hideous doom. Will the White Tower itself be broken?

In the Two Rivers, the Whitecloaks ride in pursuit of a man with golden eyes, and in pursuit of the Dragon Reborn.

In Cantorin, among the Sea Folk, High Lady Suroth plans the return of the Seanchan armies to the mainland.

In the Stone of Tear, the Lord Dragon considers his next move. It will be something no one expects, not the Black Ajah, not Tairen nobles, not Aes Sedai, not Egwene or Elayne or Nynaeve.

Against the Shadow rising stands the Dragon Reborn....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Wheel of Time...is a fantasy tale seldom equaled and still less often surpassed in English." ( Chicago Sun-Times)
"Jordan has a powerful vision of good and evil - but what strikes me as most pleasurable...is all the fascinating people moving through a rich and interesting world." (Orson Scott Card on The Wheel of Time)

Almost gave up

I seriously almost gave up on the wheel of time series. This book has brought back my love and longing to just sit and immerse myself in the story and world of the wheel of time.

G.O.A.T. Tier book

The ending is one of the best things I have ever read. Rand has the best character arc in all of fantasy.

Sanderson’s Pen - Thank the Light

Brandon Sanderson has breathed new life into the books! His writing of the characters is wonderful and more enjoyable - particularly the female characters.
Performances are awesome!
Overall looking forward to these final “chapters”.

Fantastic

brought me to tears. I'm a longtime fan and what Brandon has done with this beloved series is beautiful. I can't wait to see what happens next!

My favorite so far

By far my favorite so far- things are finally coming together. Can’t wait for the last 2!

Good pace

Despite the length, the story moved at a good pace. The story was good, some pending story lines finally came to a conclusion. Overall an entertaining read.

Perhaps the best one yet.

I have very few words to describe how wonderful this book was. All I can say is that it must be read.

The whole book

The best one yet. Sanderson did an excellent job. I definitely see the style changes

Sanderson's marvel

Where Jordan often utterly failed at times Sanderson manages to not only succeed but exceed expectations. Jordan often wrote pages, even whole chapters that had no substance to moving the story forward, particularly evident "Crossroads of Twilight". Sanderson however, gives us Jordan's riveting story and extraordinary detail, with much less skimable dreck.

This book covers Egwene's storyline to a remarkable apex, Rand's madness, and who Verin really is. Perrin, Elayne, and Mat's storylines are barely touched. We are left with wanting much in the next two books, but this book leaves us with a feeling of accomplishment and no cliffhanger.

This is Kate's best reading of this series. She pours herself into Egwene's storyline and it really comes alive.

Upon my word!

While I respect Robert Jordan for his epic work a great deal, Brandon Sanderson's writing is so much more dynamic and balanced. So much more reasonably paced and exciting. Even Michael Kramer and Kate Reading are sounding more excited despite their usual abysmal performance (they are still horrific). I only wish Jordan and Sanderson had collaborated through the whole series so that I wouldn't have had to slog through so many ten minute redescriptions of well known characters personalities for the thirtieth time (dang it all but that was uber redundancy!) or listen to so many long-winded over descriptions of the background settings in which characters were staged (dang it all but I don't care to read about the individual grains of grit in every crack in the sidewalk!) In short, Brandon Sanderson's collaborations / interpretations of Jordan's work is even better than Jordan's singular works (yes, I did just write that). In my opinion, Brandon Sanderson brought Robert Jordan's world alive in a way that Jordan himself never could. I believe that this is because Jordan tried so very hard. Still, I appreciate them both and look forward eagerly to the last book. Thank you Brandon Sanderson for finishing this epic story in a greater than epic way! The story deserved no less.
