Critic reviews
"Written with all the skill that has made Jordan one of the grand masters of fantasy..."( Publishers Weekly
"Both narrators handle complex roles with feeling and confidence, never losing the excitement and tension of the fast-moving story. The performers breathe emotion into their characters with an earnestness that holds listeners close and leaves them wanting more." ( AudioFile)

Great prequel
Enjoyed learning more about Lan and Moiraine's back story. I have two of the books left in the series. Can't wait!

Wonderful look at the past of beloved characters
This was a good book but not great. It feels a bit rushed in places, especially the ending. Although the ending is very satisfying due to its somewhat pyrrhic nature.
I think its a clever way to do a prequel because whilst by its nature you know some aspect of the ending, you only know the outcome of one relationship and three characters meaning the stakes felt real.
As ever the narration by Kramer and Reading are sublime. They bring these books to life so vividly that the characters feel like close friends.

Gripping to the very end
I loved the female reader. She took you right into the story and head of Moreen.
Very worth while to listen to but know you will be hooked. Thanks for the many more books to come.

Tasty Taster
Ever wanted a taste of The Wheel but too scared to munch on the bigger books. Try this one out for size, and sample the literary style of Robert Jordan

Feels Bad, But Narration Wasn't My Favorite
I'm not a huge fan of American-izing high fantasy but it wasn't too bad and both narrators really can read well... but the occasional pronunciation left me wincing. Zee-nith? Ow. I'm still smarting from it days later. And some of the character names, place names, etc. are also handled horribly for my ears. So, sorry Kate and Michael, I know you both do good work but this was harder going than it need to be. It's one of my favorite books series of all time, I was hoping for more.

Entertaining if you are a fan
I liked this as it deconstructed the style of the series. Short, focused, deep dive on just characters, emotionally driven.

Good
Im now on book 7 in the wheel of time series and looking back on this one, it was slow to start with but and some very funny parts and a exciting ending which made me continue.4/5 cuz it was slow and a bit hard to understand at times.

excellent
I love these narrators, they're two of my favourites however I wish Michael Kramer had spoken a touch slower.

Good pace and interesting characters.
Struggled a bit with the male narrator but the story was compelling enough to persevere.
