Soon to be an original series! In The Dragon Reborn, the third novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al’Thor undertakes a journey to prove himself worthy of being the Champion of Light.
Winter has stopped the war—almost—yet men are dying, calling out for the Dragon. But where is he? Rand al’Thor has been proclaimed the Dragon Reborn. Traveling to the great fortress known as the Stone of Tear, he plans to find the sword Callandor, which can only be wielded by the Champion of Light, and discover if he truly is destined to battle The Dark One.
Following Rand, Moiraine and their friends battle Darkhounds on the hunt, hoping they reach the Heart of the Stone in time for the next great test awaiting the Dragon Reborn.
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.

"the wheel of time is one of my all time favorite series. if my father ever did anything good for me, it was introducing me to fantasy. he introduced me to lord of the rings, harry potter, and star wars. even though i've never watched them all the way through. i want to SOOOOOOOOOOO badly. i do like the family guy spoof though. and with these great works of fantasy and science fiction, i was introduced to the wheel of time. now, it did take me almost a year to read the eye of the world. and i'm glad i finished. it i consisder it one of the best birthday persents i ever got. next to my trip to the wizarding world of harry poter, of course. then he sent me the 2nd book. the great hunt. i finished it much faster. i like it even better the the 1st book. there was more action, and magic. thenthe 3rd book. i got it at the library and i flew through it in two week. and considering the size of the book, the size of the tpye, that was incredabley fast. i loved it!!!! this is were the series starts to get good. i love rand. he is so awesome. but Mat is my favorite character. :D he's the most funny and entertaining."

“Jordan writes with the stark vision of light and darkness, and sometimes childlike sense of wonder, that permeates J. R. R. Tolkien's works. His style is undebatedly his own.
— The Pittsburgh PressJordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal.
— The New York TimesLarge and splendid. The saga reaches a new level of emotional impact.
— Chicago Sun-TimesIn the hands of these two versatile narrators the audiobook is a good choice, accessible and never dull.
— AudioFileThe 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" Robert Jordan's third installation in his epic Fantasy story series. Here we follow our hero as he sees the first piece of his prophesized destiny come to fruition in the most believably unbelievable way! Jordan at his finest! So many characters, so many plots, but all flowing back and forth between each other to create the best fantasy series ever! Great story to read, even better with the dual voiced narration. "
— Paleoe, 10/21/2021" Boring and repetitive. I now realise that this 10 book fantasy saga should have been a trilogy. What a disappointment and indeed a rip-off. I won't be reading any further books in this series. "
— Paddy, 1/19/2014" Another 700 pages down, another great Wheel of Time book read. As soon as I finished, I went to the library website to reserve the fourth in the series, if that tells you anything. Great development of other characters' storylines... great story again weaved together from so many different threads. Loved it. A little slow at parts, much like any 700 page book, but enjoyed throughout. "
— Johnny, 1/18/2014" Still one if the best in the series as Jordan has you racing forward with each chapter. The complexity of character, drama, and humor makes it a joy to read. "
— Stephen, 1/15/2014" This book takes off in adventure, just like any other Robert Jordan book in this series. the storyline if this series is very complex and amazing. lower level readers may have trouble with the length, but to anyone up for a challenge or a fantasy lover i highly recommend these books. if you have not red the other books in this series then you will want to start from the first book. "
— Billy, 1/11/2014" A bit of a stopgap in the primary story of this epic series, but important for developing some of the subplots and secondary characters so that Jordan can use them effectively later on. To call him a master-weaver of story-threads would be a significant understatement. The glossary Jordan includes at the back of each Wheel of Time novel has reached 22 pages and counting. "
— J., 1/7/2014" Much weaker storyline than the previous two books. Not much story progression until the ending and quite tedious dialogues throughout. "
— Ivar, 1/4/2014" In my opinion the all time greatest fantasy series! "
— Patrik, 1/3/2014" 3.5 stars maybe not sure Good Reads needs to change this rating system too shallow. "
— Mustafa, 12/19/2013" Just didn't pack the same punch as the earlier books. "
— Aaron, 12/15/2013" best of the series so far. the creativity from this author is amazing. "
— Brandon, 12/14/2013" Most of it was a little slow, but the last part, when everything converges, was interesting. It was nice as an audiobook to listen to while doing other things but I am not sure I would finish it as a regular book. I will continue to the next books of the series. "
— Zip, 12/9/2013" The dud of the first three books. Persevere, book 4 is better. But I would advise skimming for dialogue through this installment. "
— Meghan, 11/19/2013" a great story about true friends and the whiles of a world gone insain "
— Theresa, 9/30/2013" I love the beginning of the Aiel showing up and the travels to the siege of the Stone of Tear. Rand needing to believe himself that he is the Dragon Reborn. All good stuff. "
— Dave, 8/9/2013" I couldn't get into this book no matter how hard I tried. I wasn't interested in the characters or their plights. I may try again in the future. "
— Miranda, 11/29/2012" I had to put this one down. It just did not hold my interest. "
— JF, 9/7/2012" The third book in the series was good exciting story. Oddly despite the title the dragon is hardly the focal point of the story but the other characters adventures were fun to follow. "
— Keith, 7/18/2012" The third book in the series, brings to height foreshadowed in the first two books, but introduces the read to the story line beyond. Yet again i could not put it down until it was done. "
— Jamie, 6/15/2012" I love this series and this book is one of the best in the series, in my opinion. "
— Michelle, 2/16/2012" These characters just get more angery and more confsed. "
— Jens, 9/2/2011" The series is starting to pick up speed. I can't wait to read the fourth book. "
— Kiston, 6/18/2011" I loved the end of book 3. "
— Mr., 5/20/2011" Much better than than The Great Hunt, for which I am profoundly glad. I've already purchased The Shadow Rising, but won't be able to read it before... June? Oh, well. "
— Balbina, 4/16/2011" I enjoyed the first few Wheel of Time books when I read them, but it was years ago. I started to find the series tedious around the fourth or fifth book, and never finished it. "
— K., 4/11/2011" In rereading these slowly, I think this is my favorite so far. "
— Kelly, 4/4/2011" Starting to feel a little Terry Goodkind, I don't mean that in a bad sense... "
— Brian, 4/4/2011" Same review as the first two. All three books are excellent. "
— Melissa, 4/1/2011" It has solid qualities. It draws readers in and keeps them reading. The story is interesting and I recommend this book to people who enjoy reading action books. "
— Daniel, 3/29/2011" I love the way Jordan has made a whirlpool of characters, with Rand in the middle. It is odd how Rand -who is the main character- is not the one we read off the most. We are told more off the whirlpool than it's center, and it makes my toes itch for more. "
— Alan, 3/27/2011" On Audiobook. Very nicely done. "
