The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine! In Lord of Chaos, the sixth novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al’Thor, the Dragon Reborn, builds his army of Light even as sworn enemies--and supposed allies--move against him. Now ruling Tear, Andor, and Caemlyn, among other nations, Rand is recruiting all men capable of channeling to be trained as his Asha'man soldiers. The warrior Aiel clans have pledged loyalty to Rand, acknowledging him as their chief of chiefs, even though the Shaido Aiel remain a threat. Split into two factions, the Aes Sedai of the White Tower and their rebel counterparts both seek to ally themselves with the Dragon Reborn. Rand knows all too well the manipulative nature of the Aes Sedai, no matter which side of their internal war they stand upon. But even he cannot predict just how desperate, cruel, and treacherous they can be. And in the shadows, the Forsaken and the Dark One are conjuring even more chaos...

"This book took me a long time to get through (audiobook-style) and for a while I felt like I was being held hostage-- I can't stop listening... so many exciting things this time around. I love when Perrin reappears- he just brings a smile to my face. But the stuff with Rand towards the end of the book is very difficult to get through. Makes my stomach hurt and my heart ache. Poor Rand. Glad that segment is over."

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 on Crossroads of Twilight" This is my favorite series of books. After the first chapter I like the way Jordan made the characters seam real like a ordinary person about to be thrust into extraordinary circumstances. I also love just how well the plot threads weave together. When you read it a second or third time you see so much more plot thread below the service. "
— Ramlatus, 2/15/2014" Just like some of the other books in this series it's a very slow red until the last 6 chapters. I just hope the next book starts where this one left off. "
— Katie, 2/14/2014" You know you've lost interest in a series when you look up the plots of the following books on Wikipedia. "
— Savinien, 2/5/2014" Absolutely the best book in the series so far - fast-paced, action-packed, lots of turning points and progression with the plot. It was very difficult to put it down and it didn't have dragging moments like the previous parts. Looking forward to reading more! "
— Aniaga, 2/4/2014" Usually when I try reading this series, it is around book 6 that I begin to lose interest. I finally think I understand why. Lord of Chaos is more of a very long set up piece than anything else. A lot happens but very little is resolved. However, I enjoyed this book a bit more this time and managed to make it all the way through. Now if I can just make it through the rest of the series... "
— Kim, 1/22/2014" Must continue the series... "
— Caitlin, 1/5/2014" Still disappointed, I'm going to give it more one book. I heard that he's going to make this story a monster of 12 volumes. If that's so, he can kiss my dollars goodbye. "
— Darin, 12/20/2013" The slowest book yet and the weakest ending. Disappointing in those regards but still a fine addition overall. The latter half of the book had some nice reveal that kept me reading and made up for the pace of the earlier half. I just wish Perrin had arrived sooner! "
— Kevin, 12/10/2013" Book six actually kicked into gear again for me and I really enjoyed it on round 2. "
— Dayne, 11/3/2013" OK, getting a little bored now. Too many super-minor characters and pages dedicated to buildings and scenary. The plot advanced only inches. Still, the interesting and exciting parts were good. "
— Cesar, 10/28/2013" Slow start, but a fantastic last 100 pages! "
— Will, 10/27/2013" *sigh* Great right up to the last 20% I would say. First 80% is the best in the series so far. "
— Audrey, 10/26/2013" Man, that kickass ending almost made up for the 800 pages where nothing actually happens "
— Chamberk, 6/27/2013" Probably tied with The Dragon Reborn as my favorite in the series, if not THE favorite. "
— Robyn, 2/21/2013" Glad to finally finish this book. Glad, too, that a piece of plot, held in my head from the last time I read the series many years ago, has come to pass. That means that the next book, and those afterward, should be new territory. "
— Snow, 10/9/2012" This book, outside of its predecessors, truely introduces us to the elaborate villains we can expect to see throughout series. Once Again, Joradan leads us down a path which appears completely predictable, and intrigues us when he throws his curve balls! "
— Johnny, 8/9/2012" As per the usual, Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series Book 6 was excellent....now onto Book 7, with 7 more to go!! "
— Janice, 7/19/2012" So complicated. The way RJ weaves his characters and cultures together is phenomenal. "
— Denae, 4/7/2012" I'm reading this series for the third time now. Needless to say, I love it. "
— Samantha, 2/10/2012" Another long installment, but a better than the last two...total cliffhangar "
— Mollie, 11/25/2011" Just can't get enough of this series! Fantastic! "
— Garry, 8/25/2011" Th first 2/3 of the book was hard to get through but the ending was exciting. "
— Dave, 4/4/2011" This book was still pretty good. It is runs on a bit and it is after this book in the series where I think Jordan gets lost a bit in his story. The story drags on after that in book 7 all the way to book 10. Book 11 is where he starts to wrap things up a bit. "
— Melissa, 4/1/2011" On Audiobook. Very nicely done. "
— Brian, 3/26/2011" Great book. Favorite series of all time. "
— Khappe, 3/11/2011" Wahoo! Okay, so this was my least favorite one of the six I've read so far. Too slow... much too slow.... that is until the end. And then BAM, couldn't read fast enough! Six down, eight to go! :) "
— Suey, 3/8/2011" I don't recall liking this book nearly as well the first time around. Not sure why my opinion of it has changed so much, but it certainly has. "
— Leons1701, 3/7/2011" Oh my goodness, this book basically stopped time for me while I listened. Mind blowing in the character and action development. I laughed out loud at several parts, particularly regarding Mat and one of the maidens. I growled out loud in several parts, and enjoyed the book immensely. "
— Meisha, 3/5/2011" you know, jordan takes his time building up to the big moment in all of these, but what a ride. Worth every minute to me. "
