À propos de cet audio

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.

Absolutely incredible :)

Rosamund Pyke’s performance was masterful, & I look forward to listening to the rest of the series. Wish the whole series was out already in her voice :)

Fantastic reading/acting

It's really great voice acting. Good range and character differentiation.
Other than the occasional audio glitch (it skips very occasionally, stopping and starting again briefly), it is flawless. I haven't had this behaviour with other titles so I'm assuming it's just the recording has a couple glitches.

An Interesting Start!

This book had all the right aspects of a fantasy novel to draw me in. It had lots of characters being introduced, which made some of the aspects of the story confusing, but got the ball rolling for what is to be expected in the rest of the series.

This book and series has been reviewed to death, but one of the things that really caught my attention (and made me go some nights without sleeping) was that The Dark One could enter into your mind and know what you were thinking/feeling while you were sleeping. That's messed up. I don't like that. But it was good, it made the reader question what teeters on the edge of reality and a dream, which is extremely important in a long fantasy series with magic.

I liked the explanation of magic and I liked the descriptions that Rand gave while using magic. I almost felt like I was channeling the One Power while the characters were using it because of how rich the descriptions were. The world itself had a good, solid foundation that will only be expanded upon as the novels continue and the characters travel. My biggest concern was that the females were all written relatively the same: short tempered and bullied men into getting their own way.

I did think the villain, The Dark One, was kind of tacky and underwhelming. I do hope there is more to him and his powers that are shown in the rest of the series. And I hope they expand upon why people are following him, other than the fact that he is the Dark One. Because that isn't enough of an explanation for me, especially since this text is so rich with explanations to the point that there is almost too much information being given at once.

I do hope there is more character development throughout the rest of the series. But for a book that was written before I was even a thought inside my parent's brains, I really enjoyed it.

Overall: 4/5 stars. I am really excited to see where this series will go and how Rand will handle being the Dragon Reborn.

Incredible story, annoying narrator

First and foremost, the story and the writing are wonderful. This is a fantastic first entry into the series.
My problem is with the performance. Rosamund Pike is a great actress, but here, she is way too intense. She often screams, or narrates whole chapters with an intensity that distracts and annoys tremendously. I had to force myself to finish it, and will be looking for a different narrator for the next instalment.

Rosamund Pike is perfect for this story

The original audiobooks were good, despite the dated quality and I am a big fan of the two readers for their work with Brandon Sanderson, but listening to Rosalind's voices and inflection and intensity revived this book in a way that shocked me. I was never the biggest fan of Eye of the World but I hung on every word.
Listen to this instead of watching the show

10/10 please read the rest!
