About this listen

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

In Winter's Heart, the ninth novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al'Thor and his friends face personal trials in their quests to build alliances against the Dark One.

After locating Masema Dagar, the Prophet of the Dragon, on Rand’s behalf, Perrin Aybara returns to his encampment to discover his wife Faile has been abducted by the Shaido Aiel. Determined to reclaim her, Perrin forgoes his mission, risking his army in pursuit of a dangerous and unpredictable enemy.

Wounded and trapped in the Seanchan-occupied city of Ebou Dar, Mat Cauthon is awaiting an opportunity to leave. But he is not the only one in hiding. Three Aes Sedai are desperate to escape. As Mat seeks a way to smuggle them all out of the city, he encounters his own prophesized fate when he meets the Daughter of the Nine Moons.

Rand himself is on a mission of vengeance. He has tracked the traitorous Asha’man who tried to kill him to Far Madding. It is a city where no one is capable of channeling the One Power, leaving Rand vulnerable to those who would stop at nothing to destroy the Dragon Reborn…

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® by Robert Jordan 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.

Great

if you've made it to book 9 you know what this story is about. None of the books have disappointed and this is no different. At first I didn't like the dual narration but now I think it's brilliant. Can't wait to download and listen to the last 5 books of the service.

The one power goes full tilt

The Aes Sedai have past peak annoyance! from awesomely mystic feminists in the early books to catty gossips, the decent of the Aesdai has pained me!

But the tide has turn in this book and the wheel of time really turns

You've made it this far in the series, keep listening!

Still good but a bit of a drag

The story is still good but not quite as engaging as the first few books. One really can feel the slowing of time during some of the chapters. But! The book is still enjoyable and relatively easy to get through, I would recommend it!

A worthy successor to the path of daggers

The plot is actually moving forward. About time given there are only 4 books left

Not a great recording

Am loving the series - despite starting to lose track of all the characters (there seem to be new ones added each novel) and becoming slightly bored with the use of the word "woolhead". Unfortunately this recording is not so good - there are numerous occassions where lines are repeated and although one accepts the odd error, there are just too many in this book. One wonders why in this digital age they can't simply edit it out? Audible?

Updated Files as of 18/08/17 - Fixed Recording

Previously the files Audible hosted for this title were very dodgy, the chapter structure was very broken leading to lines of dialogue being repeated and 2.5 whole chapters from the book were missing (32, 33 and some of 34). I complained about this and fortunately the AudioBug Department have fixed the files as of 18/08/17. Any new downloads since then will have the complete book, anyone who downloaded previously just needs to delete the old version and re-download it to get the new one.

Good book, continuation of form for Robert Jordan. If you've gotten this far through the Wheel of Time series then you might as well continue!

Missing Chapters and Repeated Lines

This is a great book, a good improvement on the previous one, Path of Daggers, with more action and Mat is back!

Unfortunately it is let down by the terrible production of the audio - there are repeated lines several times, the last hour is repeated from Chapter 35 after the book ends and there are two entire chapters missed out! This audiobook would have made no sense had I not read the book previously. For something costing £30+ that is just not acceptable.

I suggest Audible should rectify these issues or if possible you read the missing chapters (chapters 32 and 33) from the actual book to cover the missing details.

Don't let these issues put you off the series though, it only gets better and better!

wow what an ending...

Obviously I wont put what happened but i never quite managed to get this far into the series of books, when reading due to time. The final chapters had me gripped that I couldnt stop listening.
The narrators are as usual wonderful and I hope this doesnt change with the last few. They really bring the characters to life, wish i knew how they remembered what type of voice went with each character though haha!

Cannot wait to start the next one.
