Publisher Description
The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine! In Crossroads of Twilight, the tenth novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al'Thor and his allies endure trials by fire amidst battles, sacrifices, and treachery. Fleeing from Ebou Dar with the kidnapped Daughter of the Nine Moons, whom he is fated to marry, Mat Cauthon learns that he can neither keep her nor let her go, not in safety for either of them, for both the Shadow and the might of the Seanchan Empire are in deadly pursuit. Perrin Aybara will stop at nothing to free his wife Faile from the Shaido Aiel. Consumed by rage, he offers no mercy to those he takes prisoner. And when he discovers that Masema Dagar, the Prophet of the Dragon, has been conspiring with the Seanchan, Perrin considers making an unholy alliance. Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn himself, has cleansed the Dark One's taint from the male half of the True Source, and everything has changed. Yet nothing has, for only men who can channel believe that saidin is clean again, and a man who can channel is still hated and feared—even one prophesied to save the world. Now, Rand must gamble again, with himself at stake, and he cannot be sure which of his allies are really enemies. 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.

"On Audiobook. Very nicely done. Some slow progression through this book, lots of character developments and explaining of what is going on internally in characters. "

Quotes
-
“The solid performances by 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.
— AudioFile -
For sheer imagination and storytelling skill. . . . The Wheel of Time™ now rivals Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.
— Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Path of Daggers -
Jordan has not merely put old wine into new bottles: he has clothed old bones with new flesh.
— Chicago Sun-Times on The Eye of the World -
Jordan has come to dominate the world that Tolkien began to reveal. . . . The evil laced into the forces of good, the dangers latent in any promised salvation, the sense of the unavoidable onslaught of unpredictable events bears the marks of American national experience during the last three decades.

" Maybe I needed a calmer book right now; anyway, I liked this one, except for Mat's annoying little friend. "
— Radu, 5/9/2011 -
" Not as in to this one as some of the others. It's one of those platform novels. The next one ought to be awesome. "
— Tim, 5/6/2011 -
" Ugh, only just managed to get past this book. "
— Mark, 4/21/2011 -
" The entire thing is set up for Knife of Dreams...don't read this book unless you have the next one immidiately available. "
— Theshortaiel, 4/7/2011 -
" This one was a little better than the previous two. "
— Melissa, 4/1/2011 -
" So many people are so bitter about this book. Sure, it's not quite as engaging as the other books in the series, but it was okay. It's not unreasonable to allow Robert Jordan one fair-to-middling book in an otherwise phenomenal series. "
— Travis, 3/25/2011 -
" or, as it is better known: Elayne Takes a Bath: Book Eleven of the Wheel of Time "
— Jonathan, 3/24/2011 -
" If you enjoy the detail, then this series is wonderful. If all you see is drudgery, then this book especially is torment. The choice is yours. "
— Jarrod, 3/18/2011 -
" A bit tough to get through. A lot of minutiae that is not very interesting or important. The last couple of books in this series have not really delivered for me. I'm definately ready for this story to rap up. "
— Barry, 2/27/2011 -
" I wish this story would just end. I love the story, I just wish Robert Jordan could have finished the story three books ago. Yet, here I am reading #11... =) "
