“Through her smooth, dramatic performance, award-winning actor Rosamund Pike amplifies the new audiobook of book one in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series.”—BookPage

A #1 New York Times bestselling audiobook!

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

This program is read by narrator Rosamund Pike, star of the hit Prime Video original series.

The Eye of the World, the first novel in Robert Jordan's #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, follows Moiraine Damodred as she arrives in Emond's Field on a quest to find the one prophesized to stand against The Dark One.

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

When a vicious band of half-men, half beasts invade the Two Rivers seeking their master’s enemy, Moiraine persuades Rand al’Thor and his friends to leave their home and enter a larger unimaginable world filled with dangers waiting in the shadows and in the light.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® has captivated millions of fans 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.

Please fix the volume range.

I kept having to reduce the volume during loud dialogues because they were too loud but then having to turn up the volume during normal conversations because it wasn’t audible. The volume range has to be corrected. The story was exceptional and the voice acting was decent.

Wonderful!!

No single word can fully capture the impact of this audio book!

My previous experiences with audio books have been iffy. Compelled by Season 1 of the Amazon Prime TV series The Eye of the World, I decided to risk an audio book once again and settled on this version narrated by Rosamund Pike. The experience was unrivaled by any book I have listened to, or read, before. In this process I am afraid I have become thoroughly spoiled by the narration, the performance, of Rosamund Pike. Her talents as an actress is on full display here, even though it is only her voice that is evident here. Her ability to manage different accents, keep them consistent and separate, made all the difference. Through the various accents, the drama she brought to each character and the narration, she made the book come alive. Rosamund Pike has set a very high bar for other narrators to follow.

I hope the producers of this audio book will release more books of the series, narrated of course by Rosamund Pike!

Rosamund Pike could read me my grocery list

The story is a classic fantasy and largely focused on setting up the world in as much a not-Tolkien aspect as possible.
I enjoyed the characters, and the level of detailing Jordan lends to his world. There are many unique aspects to his style of storytelling - incredibly visual yet prosaic, and easy to read. The pace was largely okay, though the ending definitely felt rushed.

Now to the star - Rosamund Pike is incredible. I've always thought she has a wonderful voice, clear and deep and arresting. She is extremely talented at differentiating between characters using pitches, accents, and intonations. Having already associated her voice with Morraine's, it made this experience that much more immersive. I was hooked from beginning to end and I cannot wait to listen to more of her work both as a part of this series, and outside of.
