Audie Award-winner Rosamund Pike returns for the fourth installment of the Wheel of Time series, The Shadow Rising. The winner of Best Female narrator for The Eye of the World delivers another mesmerizing performance.
"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 on Eye of the World (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 on Eye of the World (Earphones Award winner)
The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!
In The Shadow Rising, the fourth novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al’Thor now wields the sword Callandor. He is both the Champion of Light and the Dragon Reborn. Now, he seeks answers to another prophecy that lies with the warrior people known as the Aiel to put him on the path of learning how to wield the One Power.
Accompanied by Moiraine Damodred, Rand arrives at the Aiel Waste and is granted permission by the Wise Ones to enter the sacred city of Rhuidean. After passing through a doorframe ter'angreal, Moiraine gains foresight while the Aiel await Rand's return, either with both arms marked by dragon symbols, validating his identity as He Who Comes With the Dawn, the Chief of Chiefs of all the Aiel—or to never emerge at all.
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 #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.

The ninth floor. Nine armies, each led by rich and powerful aliens from across the galaxy. Each team has one objective: to capture and hold the castle at the very center of the battlefield. Strategy, alliances, pitched battles, and, of course, betrayal ... It all makes for great fun and even greater television. After all, none of these powerful aliens really die when they’re playing war. Except this time. This time, winner takes all. Those who fall, stay in the ground.

One of the best in the whole series. It gets really good in this book.
I’ve read or listened to this book well over a dozen times. Though this is the first time (obviously) with Rosamund Pike voicing it. I love the Michael Kramer and Kate Reading versions and have listened many times. It’s hard to say which version I like better, but pike is absolutely amazing. Her ability to voice so many different characters by herself is uncanny. She does a masterful job. It may take ten years but I hope she finishes recording the entire series. Wheel of time remains my absolute all time favorite. There is nothing like it in scale. It is truly epic fantasy as it’s best.

Excellent narration
I read the books long ago and felt there was a certain cheesyness. Listening to them narrated this way has let me appreciate aspects of the characters and story that I missed when I did the reading. Really was a skilful acting performance and not just a reading. cant wait for the next one to be released

Amazing, Fantastic, Audio Issues Fixed
I had an earlier review about there being many audio issues, but if you're reading this and you still see those reviews, rest assured they have been fixed (for those that downloaded the book from pre-order, you need to re-download).
Rosamund is such a blessing to this series and I sincerely hope she continues. What a fantastic book.

Pike is amazing. Unfortunately, production bad.
What Roseamand does is pure magic. Her voice acting is beautiful and immersive. Choosing her for this was brilliant.
Unfortunately, the amount of bad edits is much more than I've seen in an audible product before. Edits where Roseamand will do a few takes.. and lots of blank spaces that you can tell words are missing. I'm not done with listening and there have been at least 10 blanked out spaces. where is the quality control on this?
Anyways, Pike makes this more than worth listening to.

Rosamund continues to knock it out of the park with these- some of the best audiobook narration I’ve ever heard. Her character work is incredible, and her narration is gripping. Please continue making these through the end of the series!
