KNIFE OF DREAMS
Robert Jordan
Read by Kate Reading, Michael Kramer

The eleventh novel in Jordan's bestselling Wheel of Time series wraps up many loose ends as the series nears its ending. Jordan's graceful style offsets the confusion brought about by a dozen separate plot lines and endless descriptions of minutia. The hero of the saga, Rand al-Thor, doesn't appear until midway through this audiobook. Michael Kramer carries the lion's share of the reading, narrating all the segments of the book told from the perspective of male characters, at times with regal elegance, at others with bitterness, anger, or passion, as the situation demands. Kate Reading is equally adept narrating the parts involving the feminine characters and elements. With its myriad of unusually named characters and equally complicated plot lines, KNIFE OF DREAMS will present a challenge to listeners new to the series but will be a welcome treat to Jordan's patient fans.
