Summary

Winner of the 2024 Audie Award for Fantasy!

Audie Award winner Rosamund Pike returns for the third installment of the Wheel of Time series, The Dragon Reborn. The winner of Best Female narrator for The Eye of the World delivers another mesmerizing performance, as Rand al Thor and his companions continue their epic journey.

The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

"Pike's vivid portrayals of the wide-ranging cast and otherworldly characters are mesmerizing...Pike will delight listeners with her extraordinary storytelling."—AudioFile on The Eye of the World (Earphones Award winner)

In The Dragon Reborn, the third novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al’Thor undertakes a journey to prove himself worthy of being the Champion of Light.

Winter has stopped the war—almost—yet men are dying, calling out for the Dragon. But where is he?

Rand al’Thor has been proclaimed the Dragon Reborn. Traveling to the great fortress known as the Stone of Tear, he plans to find the sword Callandor, which can only be wielded by the Champion of Light, and discover if he truly is destined to battle The Dark One. Following Rand, Moiraine and their friends battle Darkhounds on the hunt, hoping they reach the Heart of the Stone in time for the next great test awaiting the Dragon Reborn.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers and listeners 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.

Critic reviews

Jordan writes with the stark vision of light and darkness, and sometimes childlike sense of wonder, that permeates J. R. R. Tolkien's works. His style is undebatedly his own.”—The Pittsburgh Press

“Large and splendid. The saga reaches a new level of emotional impact.”—Chicago Sun-Times

One Word: Pike

I’ve said in my reviews of the first two books she has performed, but Rosamund Pike brilliantly acts every character, every scene… the original recordings were badly recorded reading by two average narrators, which prevented me from delving into the world until these recordings. Amazing work.

Thoroughly enjoyed a new re-telling

I have read all the books and listened to the Michael Kramer and Kate Reading recordings which I enjoyed but Rosamund Pike's narration is superb and I will happily buy the whole series again if she is narrating them. As another reviewer has already admitted I'm searching for the pre-order for the next book and hope it's not too long in coming. Brilliant.

Rosamund Pike is Exceptional

Another exceptional performance by Rosamund Pike. The story is good - although a little bit YA at times. However, Rosamund’s performance transforms it from decent to stellar.

Once again amazing performance by Rosamund Pike

This story was once again made better by Rosamund performance that has such a calming and relaxing way of reading. She gives the characters enough individuality and depth for you to be able to distinguish them.

The story line was very much what is expected from such a long fantasy series. enough developments to keep you going but still so much to be answered.

Another fantastic performance of a classic

Excellent performance from Rosamund Pike again - full commitment to the characters and I particularly enjoyed their interpretation of the Aiel.

I already have one version of the dragon reborn on Audible but would recommend this version to any fans of the series.

The Epic Story Continues

I love these books, having read some of them up to seven times.
With the Dragon Reborn, the story really starts to develop from just a journey into the various strands that intertwine expertly. The main characters' personalities develop and progress as they learn more about themselves and their part in the fight against the Dark One.
The climax in the last few chapters is exciting and it teases what is to come. There's plenty of foreshadowing, a lot of which you might miss on your first reading of the series.
I love Rosamund Pike's narration. Her voice acting gives the characters warmth and depth. But equally, she imbues the Dark One's servants with a great sense of the evils they are capable of.
I would highly recommend giving this a go.
