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.

Favourite Audiobook of All Time.
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.

Great reading by Rosamund Pike
For all it's flaws WOT is still a great tale, and this reading brings to life the characters in the novel. Some are slightly cringy but generally great.

A modern(ish) classic
I first read this book 20 something years ago and I fell in love with the world, characters and story right from the start. Now with the new Amazon show coming out I picked up this audio version, narrated by Rosamund Pike. Its been at least 8 years since my last reread and I had forgotten a few things but Rosamund is a fantastic narrator that makes every character stand out. I really hope they continue the series with her

marvelous!
Rosamund Pike should dedicate her career to reading audio books. She is utterly marvelous! far too often those narrating high fantasy fall into monotone and dirge. It's the most refreshing thing to not have to make myself listen for the sake of the story.
As for the story, I had forgotten how brilliant a book this is. the story is well written and stomps along nicely.
Now, if Ms Pike could set her attention to the sword of truth series I would be most gratified 😁

A masterful performance!
I'm halfway through listening to this masterful performance from Rosamund Pike, she has got to be one of the best, if not the best narrator I have ever listened to. I truly hope that she will narrate the entire collection, though that is a daunting task, given the sheer volume of books.

Superb performance
I don’t often leave reviews, but Rosamund Pike’s vocal performance was just remarkable. I really hope she’s commissioned (and has the time!) to record more of the series.
