Summary
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 now 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.

Rosamund Pike is phenomenal!
Rosamund Pike is a truly gifted narrator. She has captured the tone and feel of the story as well as the huge cast of characters brilliantly.
Her version of EotW has (very quickly!) become one of my favourite audiobooks of all time. I hope we get all of WoT re-released on audio as the show comes out.

Excellent.
So well read by Rosamund Pike. She has such a melodic voice, it is a pleasure to listen to her. The story is good if a little long winded at times, but I enjoyed it. I don't want to say much about the story as it may spoil it for others. But, if you are a fan of fantasy then this will suit you well.

Excellent Version
I have read all the books in the Wheel of Time series but have only briefly tried the audiobooks before.
I’ve heard the other audiobook versions are very good, but as I’m British I imagine the characters to have British accents, so the American accents jarred with me.
I really enjoyed this version, Rosamund Pike is excellent and I would really like her to do the rest of the books!

Can't wait for Rosamond Pike to read book 2!
With the new tv series on Amazon I was curious to find out how the story in the books compares - and it is MUCH better! Ok, the initial part of book 1 is slow, painfully so in comparison to the tv series, but it soon picks up and you start to realise just how much they have missed out in order to adapt the book for TV (and how many things they've completely changed altogether). I much prefer the book - Rosamond Pike's narration is superb! My only problem is that now I've finished listening to book 1 and can't bring myself to switch to the other narrator for the next book - I'm hoping that Rosamond Pike will go on to record the rest of the books in the series. And soon!

Loved Pike’s performance!
I absolutely loved this book and especially Pike’s fantastic reading. I really hope that they get her to read the next book as I would love to listen but I don’t want to switch narrators now!

Please Rosamund Pike - keep reading
Loved it. Just be warned - you’ll want to continue the story and, as yet, the amazing RP has only recorded this book. I can’t deal with listening to the old version. Tried but it’s like watching Sunday league football when you’ve experienced the champions league. If anyone with any influence in the matter reads this - please get Rosamund To keep doing the series of novels. I’ll watch the prime show and keep subscribing to audible forever if you do
