Reviews
"Jordan has come to dominate the world that Tolkien began to reveal." -The New York Times on The Wheel of Time "Has all the breadth and depth that have made this fantasy author one of the acknowledged greats of the genre."-Publishers Weekly on Crossroads of Twilight "Jordan has not merely put old wine in new bottles: He has clothed old bones with new flesh." -Chicago Sun-Times on The Eye of the World "Reading and Kramer are perfect vocal counterparts to the main characters. Reading invites readers into the politics and mystery of the world of Aes Sedai. She gives Moiraine's quirks full attention and makes the most minor of characters distinct. Kramer sounds as battle-worm as Lan Mandragoran is described to be. Effective at making Lan no-nonsense, weary, and observant, Kramer adds further life to the character beyond the military prowess. Fans will not be disappointed..."--KLIATT "As there is more of a female presence in the story, Kate Reading's performance stands out. Michael Kramer's bare-bones delivery is perfect for the soldier who has lost his belief in a better world until he is swept up in adventure. Both narrators handle complex roles with feeling and confidence, never losing the excitement and tension of the fast-moving story. The performers breathe emotion into their characters with an earnestness that holds listeners close and leaves them wanting more."--Audio File, "Jordan has come to dominate the world that Tolkien began to reveal."
