About this listen

Rosamund Pike returns with an outstanding narration of The Great Hunt, Book Two of the Wheel of Time, now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund as Moiraine.

In The Great Hunt, the second novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al’Thor and his companions set out to retrieve a powerful magical artifact from The Dark One’s Shadowspawn.

For centuries, gleemen have told the tales of The Great Hunt of the Horn. So many tales about each of the Hunters, and so many Hunters to tell of...

Now the Horn itself is found: the Horn of Valere long thought only legend, the Horn which will raise the dead heroes of the ages.

And it is stolen.

In pursuit of the thieves, Rand al’Thor is determined to keep the Horn out of the grasp of The Dark One. But he has also learned that he is The Dragon Reborn—the Champion of Light destined to stand against the Shadow time and again. It is a duty and a destiny that requires Rand to uncover and master magical capabilities he never imagined he possessed.

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.

Critic Reviews

“Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal....The battle scenes have the breathless urgency of firsthand experience....The evil laced into the forces of good, the dangers latent in any promised salvation, the sense of unavoidable onslaught of unpredictable events bear the marks of American national experience during the last three decades.”—The New York Times

“Adventure and mystery and dark things that move in the night—a combination of Robin Hood and Stephen King that is hard to resist. Furthermore, Jordan makes the reader put down the book regretting the wait for the next title in the series.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Smashing voice acting

Rosamund Pike has forever spoiled me for any other voice actors.

The voice modulations, tones, diction. The book and setting comes so alive.

Jordan's world building has always been fantastic and it isa credit to Pike that she makes it more vivid in this narration. Absolutely wonderful!

I am gonna eagerly await for the dragon reborn and the rest of it.

Narration and Emotions

Her voice is divine. No words to express. She has got me in audio books. It was hard coming out of the book world when I finished the series, now the audio books won't leave me. What have I gotten myself into 😊

Once you start, you cannot stop

Great narration, Loved it in the voice of Rosamund Pike. The fights are written in a way I had never heard before. You don't want it to end and that's a sign it's a good book.

Rosamund shines again as a superior narrator

No, I think Rosamund Pike is just superior to all the narrators ever.
Sorry not sorry, and I mean no offense - but 0.5 stars are docked for every single audiobook I listen to if Miss Pike is not the narrator.
She is even better in this one - the part where (spoiler ahead) she is narrating all of Rand's lives through the portal stones, I was riveted and had goosebumps throughout. Her voice is so good at invoking emotions and using tones to very clearly portray moods and humor! The increased number of characters in this doesn't flag her talent at differentiating between characters either! I hope amazon forks over the cash to keep her reading these books out loud for us even if they ever (god forbidding) decide to cancel the series.
As for the story - an amazing, enjoyable ride! It's been so long since I've read an adventure, quest, journey kind of a story - with Eye of the World, even though some of the aspects were there, it just didn't feel the same. There's something very different about the Great Hunt and, I loved it. I hope the Dragon Reborn keeps up the pace - because I'm genuinely invested now, and I would love to keep this flow going.

Keep to connected throughout


The story line is superb apart from a very small part which gets too stretched the whole story keeps you connected and wanting to continue listening until it is over and after it is over you wish it only continued.

90 for the Story and a 100 for the performance

While the story drags a bit with over explanation of every scene, the overall story was enticing and kept me glued throughout. Rosamund Pyke has done it again with her spotless performance and cant wait to see her again in the second season of WoT. Highly recommended listen.

Inspired voice acting

I was transported and spell bound by Rosamund Pike's voice acting. At places I couldn't believe it was her. I fell in love with her ability to juggle so many characters, each with a distinct and nuanced voice.

What a story and performance

My respect for Rosamund Pike just increased 10 fold... The story is awesome but her performance is unparalleled. The rest of the series books are available with other readers but I think I will wait till Rosamund Pike picks up the rest...
