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.

    I like this version by Rosamund Pike much better than the other ones. I hope she re-narrates the rest of the series too!

    Rosamund Pike was awesome in her narration of The Wheel of Time. She did all the characters with different voices and it was easy to distinguish them just from her voices. I have listened to other books and they narrators were not nearly as good. I want to listen to the next book, but I know I will be disappointed with the man who narrates the rest of the series. I truly hope Rosamund Pike will do some more of this series. P.S. for people wanting to listen to this that are fans of the TV series, this story is completely different from the show. The producers of the TV show have taken great liberties changing the story from the book for TV.

    I’ve listened to both narrations of this book, and Rosamund Pike’s version is infinitely better than the Kramer/Reading version. Her depictions of the characters are distinct and vivid, and she reads the female characters so that they present as smart and thoughtful, as opposed to the vapid, whiny voices presented by Kramer/Reading.

    As my first foray into the audio book experience, I may have already been spoiled. Rosamund Pike reads so well, varying voices and accents, it really pulls you into the story for a fantastic experience.

    I really enjoyed this story. Rosamund Pike's narration is incredible. All the different voices for the different characters and how she is able to portray the emotion. She's just an incredibly talented actor and story teller. Sad she isn't narrating the other books but I'm still looking forward to seeing where these character's stories go.

    Read book rather than continue listening to narrator who is more suited to detective noir than this genre.

    Great book. My first fantasy book read as a younger person, and have re-read a few times since.
