Publisher Description
The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine! In A Crown of Swords, the seventh novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, a rebellious uprising threatens Rand al’Thor's rule as he prepares to battle an even more dangerous enemy. Incited by nobles seeking to reclaim their places of power, armies march against the Dragon Reborn. As Rand tries to restore order, he discovers a lack of loyalty even among the warrior Aiel, and still mistrusts the rebel Aes Sedai even though they swore allegiance. But nothing can stop Rand and his Asha'man soldiers from storming the city of Illian to confront the Forsaken Sammael, and challenge him to a duel of the One Power with the winner taking the Crown of Swords... 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.

"This book...and the next book...are just stepping stones to the rest of the series, they're a little slower, but still good, and very necessarily to get to the REALLY awesome ones. "

“The two narrators pass the story back and forth seamlessly, keeping their characters well in hand.

Book Three of the Wheel of Time series finds the wheel of time continuing its journey toward the confrontation of Rand Al Thor, the dragon reborn, and the Dark One. Kate Reading is narrator for one strand of the story; Michael Kramer, for the others. Reading and Kramer are familiar to the series and bring back their distinct and nuanced characterizations of the major characters. The plot and characters are complex, but the book is still able to stand alone. In the hands of these two versatile narrators the audiobook is a good choice, accessible and never dull.

The solid performances of Kate Reading and Michael Kramer add a new dimension to the story, especially in the way these veteran narrators breathe life into the inner thoughts of the many major players.

" I'm done, not just with finishing this book, but with the whole series. Nothing happens! It's just boring. I can't even be bothered writing a review because to be honest, the same review could be used on last five books. "
— Lee, 2/18/2014 -
" For some reason I can't pull myself away from this pulp. Like most overly long (or otherwise) series of books (or any media for that matter) each book is about half as good as its predecessor. Hell, it sure beats TV. "
— Stephen, 2/17/2014 -
" I have read this series 15 times now. its that good! "
— Scott, 1/28/2014 -

— Mark, 12/30/2013 -
" It took me a while to get through, but I really enjoyed the story in this one. Some things that I was waiting for, actually happened in this chapter. "
— Catherine, 12/22/2013 -
" Great series. These books are thick with pages but they are such good reading that I cannot put them down until they are done! "
— David, 12/12/2013 -
" This book started out pretty boring and the only thing I really liked about it was the whole Mat thing, because that was hilarious. Poor guy! "
— Stine, 11/12/2013 -
" Robert Jordan still has my attention "
— Jaiden9, 11/5/2013 -
" Here's where Jordan starts to lose the series. "
— Morgan, 11/1/2013 -
" Worst book of the series so far. Weak ending. "
— Ryan, 8/22/2012 -
" This was a decent novel in the series. It did jump around too much, and without the connectivity between the plotlines, even the simple mechanics as meetings in the World of Dreams. Could have been written as 2 books parallel in timeline, and if so, it would have flowed much better. "
— Mf, 5/13/2012 -
" One of my favorites of the series "
— Sheri, 3/30/2012 -
" Once again another stunning read...highly recommend this series if you like LOTR. "
— Joshua, 2/25/2012 -
" Liked this book a lot. The whole series has drawn me in. Cannot wait for the conclusion as I have put considorable hours into the series. "The wheel turns..." "
— Haydensdad, 1/4/2012 -
" I actually really enjoyed re-reading this book. It does set up for the next book a lot, but I generally enjoyed all of the things that the characters go through. "
— Jacqui, 9/7/2011 -
" Book Seven was Great! The story just keeps getting better! "
— Mary, 6/3/2011 -
" This is the book where the story starts to run on a bit. It is still good though. "
— Melissa, 4/1/2011 -
" On Audiobook. Very nicely done. "
— Brian, 3/26/2011 -
" I started reading this series because I love Brandon Sanderson and wanted to read the books that he wrote...I made it to book 7 of this series, and I can't make it any further...these books are soooo SLOW compared to Sanderson. "
— Mallory, 3/5/2011 -
" I know many of you have already read this series, but it just gets better and better for me. I am going to sorry when it is over. "
— Lauren, 2/26/2011 -
" Reading this series for the zillionth time is fun, I'm constantly reminded of Jordans ridiculous world building skill. Nostalgia is also seeping in, Mat is still my favorite. "
— Jarrod, 2/23/2011
