Publisher's summary

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....

Awesome!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I would and I have. Wheel of time is hands down the greatest fantasy series ever created. The detail is amazing, the character development should make other authors weep with jealousy, the length of each book makes them that much better.

What did you like best about this story?

Everything.

Which scene was your favorite?

Any scene with Mat. He's a turd in the first few books but really becomes a good character later on in the series as he matures.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes and I've listened to it many times all in one sitting.

it's great

this series is really good if you can make it through the middle books 😁

Cut off

I have listened to this audiobook 4 times already and I just started my 5th read, well I have never had this problem before but the boom cuts straight to chapter 12. It’s upsetting because I absolutely love this book and the entire series, please fix this issue

One of the best in the series! So much happens :)

What made the experience of listening to Towers of Midnight the most enjoyable?

Listening to this was a wonderful experience, I read the books a few years ago but listening to them brings an entirely new aspect to the books. However.. I do hate how Kate says Mesaana. *shudder. makes me cringe every time. Awful name. Other than that, they did a marvelous job, as usual : )

Who was your favorite character and why?

There were so many AMAZING action packed scenes; Perrin turns it on and pulls out the bad ass card, Egwene has awesome scenes, Mat.. oh mat, BEST CHAPTERS at the end of this book, Gawyn is awesome, rand goes super Saiyan. Just so wonderful all around, It's like RJ (and Saunderson) kept action scenes from the last two books, then combined them into this culmination of bad assery. Great book. Can't wait for the conclusion!! Ahhhhh

text-book perfect

you all know WoT is good. Brandon Sanderson did a very good job. Its hard to tell its a different author. Good narrators.

Great Entertainment

Finally so many of the plots and personalities are becoming clear. Although the girls in the tower and there squabbles/complaining throughout the series have left a foul taste. I can’t help but tune them out when they become the focus.

Very good with a couple concerns

First, let me say, I'm now a big Sanderson fan. Overall, I believe his writing is melding well with Jordan's, I'm certainly happy to see the saga approaching the final confrontation we've all been waiting years for.

While I agree with some of the comments of "we get it, stop rehashing the same stuff", it's still a great book, completely worthy of its place in the series.

My largest concern by far is with the narration. I typically really enjoy Kate Reading's narration, however I think there needs to be some kind of rule ... Narrators should HAVE to listen to the prior books in a series so they keep the pronunciations that we've grown accustomed to. I hate it when I've listened to countless hours in which a female was called "bur-jet" and now she's suddenly "beer-get-a". Same thing happened with A Feast for Crows when John Lee took over from the ever amazing Roy Dotrice. Nearly killed that series for me. Narrators should realize that they are as much a part of the experience as the story itself, and show enough respect to the audience to at least keep key character's and locations names consistent. This one simple thing would avoid confusion over who's doing what and allow us to follow the plot without distraction.

just so good

wow this book is amazing I can't wait for the ending so good towards the end so good!

great!!

fantastic book. one the best I ever read. a must read for any d&d fan.

Timeless series full of adventure and magic!

I am not a universal fan of audiobooks, but these narrators have captured my heart. I began this series with physical copies of the books, but I can see no better way to end it than with this audio adaptation. These narrators, combined with the amazing storytelling of Robert Jordan then Brandon Sanderson, have saved my work commute. Every free moment I have, I return to these books. As a reader and listener, I live for these books. As a writer, I can only aspire to be like Sanderson and Jordan when I come into my own.

Truly, this production is a masterpiece.
