For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

Getting Better
I feel 4 stars is being generous but overall the series is improving a lot. I have never been frustrated by a series characters more so than the ones in the WoT & it does feel like a struggle at times but I very much like the premise of the story & as I stated every book is improving. I'm going to continue with hopes that the character development improves also.

Hard to Rate
Would you listen to The Dragon Reborn again? Why?
No, it's extremely long and there are still a lot of books left in the series to finish.
What did you like best about this story?
The climax at the end, and the way Mat finally became a whole character.
Have you listened to any of Kate Reading and Michael Kramer ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes. They are my two favorite narators. I hear so many people talking about Michael Kramer in a negative way and I don't understand why. He has so many different voices for all the characters. He pauses in the correct places and his voice inflections are perfectly timed. My only knock on both of them is that they read a little slower than I do, but that is no big deal at all. I think they both have a good idea of what Robert Jordan intended his books to be percieved as.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
NO WAY!! This book is LOOONNGG.
Any additional comments?
This book is hard to rate because overall it is a fantastic story with deep characters. The world is alive with politics, good, evil, and everything in between. It has another fantastic climatic ending that really starts to get rolling from 2/3 of the book on. I do have 2 gripes about this series as a whole. First is the fact that a rediculous amount of time is spent talking about stuff in past books and explaining them for someone that might not have read the previous ones. This becomes really annoying. My second gripe is the "in between" stuff. You could read 30 pages in this book and not have a single thing happen. This is however what makes the world so intricate, and the characters so deep. Would I trade it for a shorter version? Probably, but I'll take it like it is for now and move on to the next book with the same excitement that got me this far.

Just too much dragging of feet
Liked the original story premise but too many over complicated yet simple interactions to care about. Got a couple of hours into book 3 and realized I can’t even fathom spending 100s of hours trying to care about the super detailed slow story with more dreams/ unclear thoughts than storyline. Tried to get through Wheel of Time classic but maybe next lifetime.

Not the worst
This one isn't as easy to get into as the last book. Still pretty good. The main character of the series is barely even in this story, and he is definitely missed. All in all it just feels like a stepping stone to greater parts of this epic.

An outstanding novel in the Wheel of Time series!!
The Dragon Reborn is captivating from beginning to end! Robert Jordan does a wonderful job bringing many elements together at the end of this novel, and producing a very climatic ending. Though some might argue otherwise, the plot is moderately convoluted and will keep most readers riveted until the last page. It is well worth the listening!

Definately worth reading
I really like the way Jordan plays off the reluctant hero. His insights into men and women's views of the opposite sex are often funny and help relieve the seriousness of the story, which is, as always, incredibly original and well written.

This reluctant hero theme is growing old
It is understandable Robert Jordan 's whole premise for the series is people being told they are the chosen will not blindly believe it and start acting like the chosen. But for the love of light, There are 6 main characters and over the course of last 2 books and this book, all 6 have done literal impossible feats over and over again. Yet they still refuse to believe maybe there is something special about them, and continue to act like a bunch children

Excellent, a compelling and addictive epic.
This is one of the best fantasy epics ever written, a series right up there with the work of J. R. R. Tolkien but be warned it is not one to be taken up lightly, this series is Huge!
The books have been kept together so one audio book will get you one book and many hours of happy listening.
Sadly Robert Jordan died in 2007 after publishing book 11, but with the help of Jordan’s wife/editor Harriet McDougal, Brandon Sanderson has taken up the torch, using Jordan’s plentiful notes he is finishing off the series brilliantly, with book 14 being the final volume.
The series is voiced by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading throughout and their performances are exemplary, their narration brings the world to life in a way that simply reading it never had for me, they bring a unique voice and feeling to each of the characters that brings them to life and firmly embeds them in your heart.
The only negative I have to put in is that the audiobooks chapter division bears no relation to where the chapters start and end in the books making the chapter search and snooze modes on the app all but useless.
All in all a five star read. An absolute must for any fantasy epic fan.

The plot thickens...
The epic storytelling abilities shown in The Wheel of Time really come apparent in the third novel. The focus leaves the protagonist for much of the book which allows the audience to have a more in depth view of others in the steadily growing band of characters, namely the development of Perrin. Narrators excel as always.

fantastic
I have read pretty much every major fantasy novel and so reckon I can give a fair judgement. So far, I am enjoying the Wheel of Time saga more than any other fantasy I have ever read.
Don't waste your time with sword of truth saga - its just a copy of wheel of time apart from not as good.
I would recommend this saga to anyone who likes Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, golden compass, sword of truth etc. Once you get to know the characters in this saga they are more lovable than all of the above mentioned.

Short but Sweet
This is the shortest of the volumes so far, but has a very fast pace, unlike some of the later books. It is a journey, and building upon existing characters, while beginning to introduce a few more side characters, including Aes Sedai, and some new major characters too. Culminating in one of the best battles in the series (until Book 11 - Knife of Dreams, chapter 18), as the Dragon tries to seize the Stone of Tear, and we are introduced to the People of the Dragon - the awesome Aiel from the baked, arid wastes beyond the Dragon Wall. The battle of wills and of the one power shakes the STone to it's core as the Dragon attempts to put Forsaken in their places - well until the mistress of the night intervenes... well, you have to listen to find out now, don't you! Best series ever!!

I love this series of books, full of interweaving threads that always come back together again for the finally.
With the ending of book 2 I expected this book to be a bit more fast paced and more battles but I am not complaining. The story and world building was excellent and I am now rushing this review to start book 4.
You won't be disappointed!

Old school fantasy
I'm rereading this series that I first read in my early 20s. 30 years on the books are a little tired but still good fun. Theyre very obviously written by an old white man - definitely a 50s view of social morès.
women are often portrayed as devious while men are sort of bumbling but well meaning - or strong and silent.
In terms of story and momentum though, its still a good read and I will be continuing with the series.
The male narrator is annoying to start with but after a while you dont notice his idiosyncratic delivery so much

Super fun to see the story ride on
For the first couple books, Matt was one of my least favourite characters. But through this one I have gained a newfound respect for the man and even come to like him more than many other characters. I also ship Perrin and Dark hard. Hoping they grow even closer in the next book.
Ran is whatever. He is barely in this book, and it is cool that he is the dragon reborn and he usually steps it up for some of his scenes, but he is my least favourite person amongst the three taveeran we are following. I still pike him, but Perrin and Matt seem like deeper characters to me at this point. I liked book one Ran and hope we see more character development from him beyond being in denial about being Lues Taerin reborn.

This was a slow one..
Out of the three in the series this was the hardest one to get in to. There was a lot of building until the final two hours really. But this does continue the series and it is a worthwhile listen for anyone that has enjoyed the series so far.

Another enthralling instalment
Just as addictive as the first two books. And so engrossing that I felt real annoyance whenever a character made a poor decision (which seemed to be often) and real glee when they triumphed. Threads are coming together and some questions answered, but more forming all the time.

Timeless classic instalment.
Hard to backup TGH, but it's one of the more solid books in the greatest series and story of all time. Pity the Amazon show sucks.

Epic Fantasy
Still one of my favourite fantasy series after 25 years.
These books captivate with epic story telling which is reminiscent of Tolkien in deep tones of seriousness and the truth that is humanity. Robert Jordan didn't pull any punches with his writing and understanding of human nature whether it be good, bad or in between.
The two narrators have finally ingratiated themselves in my mind (3 books later) as beyond suitable to tell this story.
Make sure you have enough time to listen to 14 epic books that are extremely long!
