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.

Critic reviews

“His huge, ambitious Wheel of Time series helped redefine the genre.” —George R. R. Martin, author of A Game of Thrones

“Anyone who’s writing epic or secondary world fantasy knows Robert Jordan isn’t just a part of the landscape, he’s a monolith within the landscape.” —Patrick Rothfuss, author of the Kingkiller Chronicle series

The Eye of the World was a turning point in my life. I read, I enjoyed. (Then continued on to write my larger fantasy novels.)” —Robin Hobb, author of the award-winning Realm of the Elderlings series

ive been looking at getting into this series (and the Brian Sanderson books) for years but have never been able to get through a single chapter of Michael Kramers robotic voice.

Rosamund Pikes narration is a joy to listen to

finally a good narrator

This is the first audiobook I have listened to with Rosamund Pike as the narrator and it will not be the last. She is a talented narrator. I have listened to many audiobooks with many narrators and none compare to Rosamund Pike. From the prologue, I was hooked. She truly brought this audiobook to life with her talent for narration, voices and accents. Absolutely incredible.

I would happily listen to the entire Wheel of Time series narrated by Rosamund Pike.

Favourite Audiobook of All Time.

it feels like I'm reading the wheel of time for the first time again! Rosamund Pike brings wonderful characterisation throughout, great accents , singing and more.

It's not a comparable performance with Kate Reading and Michael Kramer, which I have listened to for hundreds of hours; they're both brilliant ❤️

a fantastic new reading of a classic

Brilliant performance and voice acting. Not grating and bland like the American read version, this reader goes slower and with more attention to the character’s voices, which in turn makes it all the more engaging. Really hope the second book (the great hunt) is narrated by Rosamund Pike soon!

Fantastic

One of the best narration of an audio book. I was captured from the start to the very end. I hope there are plans for this narrator to read the rest of the series.
