About this listen
The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!
In The Shadow Rising, the fourth novel in Robert Jordan’s number one New York Times best-selling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al’Thor now wields the sword Callandor. He is both the Champion of Light and the Dragon Reborn. Now, he seeks answers to another prophecy that lies with the warrior people known as the Aiel to put him on the path of learning how to wield the One Power.
Accompanied by Moiraine Damodred, Rand arrives at the Aiel Waste and is granted permission by the Wise Ones to enter the sacred city of Rhuidean. After passing through a doorframe ter'angreal, Moiraine gains foresight while the Aiel await Rand's return, either with both arms marked by dragon symbols, validating his identity as He Who Comes With the Dawn, the Chief of Chiefs of all the Aiel - or to never emerge at all.
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 number one 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's multivolume epic continues to live up to its high ambitions. Complex plotting, an array of strong characters, lavish detail, and a panoramic scope make this series a feast for fantasy aficionados." (Library Journal)
"The fourth volume of the most ambitious American fantasy saga continues to suggest that The Wheel of Time will also be the finest." (Booklist)

Getting so close to good
There was a lot to like in this one but there was also a whole lot of problems that this series exhibits as a whole.
There is so much boring travelling and tedious details. There is also some overly obvious morals trying to be pushed which took me out of it.

Overall a good continuation but some slow parts
After listening to Rosamund Pike fantastically act the first three books, it took some getting used to these narrators. The female did a good job, elevating her voice when needed and putting on voices for different characters, but the male sounded extremely bored. I often zoned out during his parts only to realise later that it was an action sequence - he used the same tone throughout, just reading for most of it.
The story slowed down and dragged on in parts but I’m still interested in the next instalment. A shame Ros hasn’t done the entire series yet but I cannot wait

Might be my favourite instalment yet
Wheel of Time seems to be one of those rare series that seems to just keep getting better with each book. I love this series, it is so rich with devolpment of culture and intricate histories. I also love how it really draws out emotions from readers, whether it's anger at some of the protagonists doing silly things, or real relief when something goes right. Great performance by Kate Reading and Michael Kramer once more - I'm so used to hearing their voices by now I dont think I could listen to WoT narrated by anyone else.
