The Wheel of Time is an iconic and breathtaking series but It's so long that I was never able to finish reading it. I am really enjoying the audiobook because it's so easy to listen to. The narrators do great voices and have an excellent reading tone that is easy to listen to. Can't wait to listen to the next one!

makes a huge difference having a male and female voice read the series. this book is mainly from the guy characters but you hear lots from female perspectives in the other book. totally worth listening to all 14 books.

I am on Chapter 26 and I love this audiobook. The performance is entertaining and immensely funny in parts as well as immensely tense - exactly why I love this series

Excellent overall, only blemished by male narrator's insistence on doing female voices. Otherwise a thoroughly enjoyable read.
