Summary

Now an original series starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

Robert Jordan’s number one New York Times best-selling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, continues as Rand al’Thor and his companions set out to retrieve a powerful magical artifact from The Dark One’s Shadowspawn in The Great Hunt.

For centuries, gleemen have told the tales of The Great Hunt of the Horn. So many tales about each of the Hunters, and so many Hunters to tell of....

Now the Horn itself is found: the Horn of Valere long thought only legend, the Horn which will raise the dead heroes of the ages.

And it is stolen.

In pursuit of the thieves, Rand al’Thor is determined to keep the Horn out of the grasp of The Dark One. But he has also learned that he is The Dragon Reborn - the Champion of Light destined to stand against the Shadow time and again. It is a duty and a destiny that requires Rand to uncover and master magical capabilities he never imagined he possessed.

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 best sellers, 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 creates a lush, sprawling tapestry of a novel in the tradition of Tolkien and Eddings." (Library Journal)

Story is good, the 2 narrators could have communicated to each other before recording these books though, hearing the man pronounce stuff one way only for the woman to pronounce it another is ever so slightly jarring to the ears.
Is it More-ane? Is it Moi-rain? Please, between the 2 of you, choose!

Pronunciation confusion

The story returns a little time after the events of book one, Jordan begins to explore the development of the central characters here and very much opens the world up thourghout the story. You begin to fully appreciate the narrators class here as the influx of new characters brings along new voices that they both pull off beautifully.

The journey continues...

There's a couple of bits where the two different narrators pronounce the same word differently. doesn't really matter because words are just made up anyway, I suppose.
That did throw me for a second then started me thinking that it was weird the second narrator must have listened to the first one at some point and just decided like, nah I'm gonna say this word weird for a laugh?
but otherwise it's pretty awesome.

Loved this reading.

This story is very capturing. You can notice how the writing is better in the second book. Especially the foreshadowing.

Great second book in the series.
