A 2023 Audie Award winner for Best Female Narrator!
"Rosamund Pike brings a fresh narration to the first book in the beloved Wheel of Time series. At 33 hours, this audiobook is no small undertaking, but Pike's impressive performance leaves listeners wanting more."—AudioFile (Earphones Award winner)
“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 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.

An excellent narration of a classic!
Highly recommended! Rosamund Pike did an excellent job and the recording quality is much better than the old MK & KR version. I hope Pike records the whole series!

Like hearing the story anew!
This new recording of the audiobook is SO much more entertaining that the original. I really enjoyed having a single narrator, rather than a pair. Particularly for small things like consistency in pronunciations, it makes a big difference. Will be listening again!

Amazing Read
Rosamond Pikes reading of the Eye of the world, brought this book to life.
Not only does she do an excellent job in Portraying Moraine she has gone the extra mile and embraced The Wheel of Time as a whole. I am hoping that she will continue to read and narrate the rest of the novels as well.

Dull story, good narration
Rosamund Pike did a fantastic job narrating this book and certainly much better than Michael Kramer. My issue was the rather slow and dull story. I don't really feel the need to continue with the rest of this series.

The Wheel Turns…
As a long time fan of the Wheel of Time series, since the very beginning…
This was an excellent reading of The Eye of the World, Rosamund Pike. I often forget that it was the same person reading for each character, as she brought them to life as individuals.
I truly hope she narrates each of the other books, I’ll wait with eager anticipation that she does, as it was one of the very best narratives I’ve had the pleasure to listen to…
