Publisher's Summary

Now an original series starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

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 Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

The seals of Shayol Ghul are weak now, and the Dark One reaches out. The Shadow is rising to cover humankind.

In Tar Valon, Min sees portents of hideous doom. Will the White Tower itself be broken?

In the Two Rivers, the Whitecloaks ride in pursuit of a man with golden eyes, and in pursuit of the Dragon Reborn.

In Cantorin, among the Sea Folk, High Lady Suroth plans the return of the Seanchan armies to the mainland.

In the Stone of Tear, the Lord Dragon considers his next move. It will be something no one expects, not the Black Ajah, not Tairen nobles, not Aes Sedai, not Egwene or Elayne or Nynaeve.

Against the Shadow rising stands the Dragon Reborn....

Thank you Mr Sanderson...

What made the experience of listening to Towers of Midnight the most enjoyable?

For me this book is all about nostalgia, I read the other books of the series as a teenager and loved them but some of the novels became drawn out and tedious, waiting for Nynaeve to tug her braid and get angry at the 'wool headed' men. Brandon has brought back all the fun and excitement of the first few books and swept me back into a world I loved once again. I was skeptical at first, I brought this just so I could finally say I was going to finish the series but I'm so glad I did. He writes the characters beautifully and does more than justice to RJ's vision. If you have enjoyed any of the first few books this is a must read/listen because of all the insights that tie right back to the beginning of the Wheel Of Time. He has not forgotten a thing!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Honestly I loved Nynaeve & Egwene this book, in other books I've found them rude, bitchy and annoying (even wanting to skip chapters with them in it) but Brandon brings out their softer, more human side. The evolving of the characters was something I really appreciated in this book.

Have you listened to any of Michael Kramer and Kate Reading ’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I have listened to other WOT readings, they do a remarkable job - extremely easy to listen to and they voice the characters well. WOT has so many characters but they give each one a personality and thought process all of their own. You can hear them enjoying the story as much as you do.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

light blind it, we're almost there...

Sanderson does the series justice

Sanderson takes on a huge challenge by completing Jorden’s epic. So far he has delivered the goods. Great writing and story-very well read.

Good but narrators should have spoken

I wish that Kate would pronounce things the same as Michael. Half the names sound like completely different people

So good and worth the long journey.

We are indebted to Robert Jordan for making the world but truly his text quality was lower than Brandon Sanderson at the last few of his published works. It was so fortunate that we got a different author and style for the end. So much more action packed!

I got chills

Payoff after payoff after payoff now. Even just thinking about what is happening now is making me want to cry with both satisfaction and anticipation.
