About this listen

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.

I really like Rosamud Pikes narration of this book as a alternative to the original. I still like the original as well. I think if they plan to redo all the other books, it would be awesome to see someone like Daniel Henney or one of the other male actors from the Amazon series to narrate the male character in the same fashion as the original version that Michael Kramer and Kate Reading did.

Daniel Henney should read the male voices

Thank you Rosamund Pike! I heard about The Wheel of Time while looking for new reads on Audible years ago. I have tried and tried to get through 5min. of Micheal Kramer and Kate Reading's version and I never could. The narration in this new version is top notch. If you like LOTR, Kingkiller Chronicles, and other such high fantasy, then you should give it a read!Please hurry and narrate the rest! I'll be waiting to buy them as soon as they're released.

I’ve read the series a couple times and this was a great performance!! Absolutely loved the narration. If only the show had followed this amazing novel.

Lovely

I love Rosamund Pike. The fact that she plays Moraine in the TV show and narrates the first book just makes me so happy!!!!!!!!! Wonderful voice acting.

Fantastic story and narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Anyone who says she is better than the original must be deaf. She in no way brings the characters to life the way Kate and micheal do. She has a dry and boring voice and honestly it’s just as bad or worse than the show. Listen to this if you want to sleep.

Wtf

Absolutely brilliant narration by Rosamund, brought the characters to life. I actually preferred her narration to the American narrators. I felt Rosamund had real passion about the characters and it came across that she really enjoyed narrating this fabulous book by the highly talented Robert Jordan.

Fantastic story & narration

I hope Rosamund Pike records the rest of the series. Her range is enormous. One of the best narrations of any book I have heard.

Brilliant Narration

Unable to enjoy listening to the Michael Kramer version. Sorry, but his standard narration voice just sounds creepy to me. Rosamund Pike gives such a masterful performance, bringing the characters and story I already loved to life, I've got my fingers crossed, wishing and hoping she is already working on the next book and will complete the series.

Read & loved this series as it was released...

One of the Best Narrators Out There
