Summary
The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!
In Knife of Dreams, the eleventh novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle, is upon Rand al'Thor—and now the Dragon Reborn must confront the Dark One as humanity's only hope.
The dead are walking, men die impossible deaths, and it seems as though reality itself has become unstable…
Abandoning Rand’s war against the Dark One, Perrin Aybara has made his own truce with the Seanchan in his obsessive quest to save his wife Faile from the Shaido and destroy their mutual enemies. To achieve victory, Perrin must render the Shaido Wise One channelers in Malden powerless. But even as he puts his desperate plan into action, Masema Dagar, the Prophet of the Dragon, moves against him.
Traveling with circus performers through Seanchan-controlled Altara, Mat Cauthon attempts to court Tuon, the Daughter of the Nine Moons, to complete their fateful prophesized marriage. Despite being surrounded by Seanchan seeking to kill her, Mat’s intended leads him on a merry chase while he wages guerrilla warfare to protect her.
Knowing he cannot defeat the Dark One while at war with the Seanchan, Rand brokers for a truce with the Daughter of the Nine Moons. Unaware of Tuon’s actual location, the Dragon Reborn walks into a trap set by the Forsaken Semirhage, who possesses knowledge about his powers that will either shatter or steel his resolve in the forthcoming conflict.
Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers and listeners 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
"The battle scenes have the breathless urgency of firsthand experience, and the...evil laced into the forces of good, the dangers latent in any promised salvation, the sense of the unavoidable onslaught of unpredictable events bear the marks of American national experience during the last three decades." ( The New York Times)
"Jordan has a powerful vision of good and evil, but what strikes me as most pleasurable...is all the fascinating people moving through a rich and interesting world." (Orson Scott Card)

Too...many...names...
Good shit, but come on with the weird fucking names!
There are far too many to keep track of and they're completely strange so it's impossible to remember them, and sometimes the pronunciation of the names change... even during the same book!

Last book written by Robert Jordan.
Such concentrate condensation of treads woven from immense quantities of precursory paragraphs. This is my go to nostalgic fix for the ingenious creation as posed by the creator.
Narrators are awesome.
Overall awesome.

Great return to form... such a shame though..
It's a shame that this was Jordan's swan song, as this was a brilliant return to what readers were used to, and completely supassed my expectations.
Book 10 was very hard to finish reading as a novel, and even in audible form, despite the narrators excellent efforts, it was a fairly dull book.
Knife of Dreams not only corrected Book 10's problems, but it is possibly Jordan's best, if not very close to The Shadow Rising. This book has more action in it's prolouge than occured in the previous book!
It sets a relentless pace and moves the storyline along at an appreciated rate.
Mat is extremely funny as always, and this book brings a welcome, if bittersweet ending to the Faile-Shaido story arc.
Michael Kramer and Kate Reading brought their usual good work to the narration, I couldn't imagine Wheel of Time without them!
It was a shame Jordan died afterwards. Sanderson did a great job following up Jordan's work, but Jordan himself will be missed greatly.

Awesome
Without doubt the best of the series. The opening sword-fight is so beautifully described it becomes almost poetry. Mat is developed so well too; laconic humour, so funny, laugh out loud funny!

Thank Goodness
I'd like to say 'miss out the previous two books'...however, there are parts that are enjoyable and relevant, I'm glad I ploughed on. Had I been reading the books and not listening, I would definitely have skipped big sections. Book 11 is so much better, so many more occasions to enjoy interactions between characters. I really can't be bothered with long descriptions of battles, I like the story line to be character driven, and when Jordan focuses on the individual central personalities it is such a pleasure to listen. His wealth of imagination and knowledge is huge, I mean, what a huge story to juggle amid all the tiny details of daily life, it's quite extraordinary. I do wish the Aes Sedai weren't so snippy, sniffy and often resorting to corporal punishment, it's very odd. Thank goodness for Perrin, Mat, Rand and Tom.
On to Book 12...

At Last something has happened
In the last few books very little actually happened they were just full of padding. However in this book things happen and the story moves on - at last !
