Publisher's Summary

When their village is attacked by trollocs, monsters thought to be only legends, three young men, Rand, Matt, and Perrin, flee in the company of the Lady Moiraine, a sinister visitor of unsuspected powers. Thus begins an epic adventure set in a world of wonders and horror, where what was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

Amazing!!!

The Wheel of Time is an iconic and breathtaking series but It's so long that I was never able to finish reading it. I am really enjoying the audiobook because it's so easy to listen to. The narrators do great voices and have an excellent reading tone that is easy to listen to. Can't wait to listen to the next one!

worth it

makes a huge difference having a male and female voice read the series. this book is mainly from the guy characters but you hear lots from female perspectives in the other book. totally worth listening to all 14 books.
I did so while I worked. awesome series

The Eye Of The World

I am on Chapter 26 and I love this audiobook. The performance is entertaining and immensely funny in parts as well as immensely tense - exactly why I love this series

Great book by a master of the genre

Excellent overall, only blemished by male narrator's insistence on doing female voices. Otherwise a thoroughly enjoyable read.

loved it

I have always loved reading this series. First as a teenager and then again as an adult. Listening to the audio book brings yet another dimension to it.
