TOWERS OF MIDNIGHT The Wheel of Time, Book Thirteen

Kate Reading and Michael Kramer are well known to listeners of the Wheel of Time series as narrators who have built up a great store of characters. They also have impressive flexibility in delivering the novels’ many explanatory passages, details of intrigue, and dramatic events. Their consistency has been a helpful guide for listeners to keep track of the broad cast of characters and twisting plot. Although the primary focus is now on Perrin, all of the characters are in motion as they move toward the series climax. The Wheel of Time has been turning for a long time, and the last battle has begun. This second of three final volumes is being finished after Jordan’s death, based on his notes. It’s a great story—but not the place to start the series. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2011]
