Wheel Of Time Book 2 Audiobook Free Download

I'm a huge fantasy fan, and friends keep recommanding me the Wheel of Time series, but I'm skeptical, because I listen ti audiobooks, rather than reading, and from everything I heard, WoT has a ton of different characters, locations, strategies, ... So my fear is, that I have to keep focusing my whole attention on the audiobook because otherwise I won't be able to make the connections or remember what's going on in other locations simultaneously. I drive for work, so I was excited about WoT, because there's so many books and time that could be filled, but I' just not sure, I can manage such a huge series when I have to pay attention to the road at the same time.

Edit: Thank you all so much for your input! If anybody is searching this question in the future: everybody highly recommends the audiobooks, and I just started listening and can also recommand them this far!

I have a long drive to work each day (45-50 minutes each way... though, that's probably not long for some who live in big cities like NY, Houston or LA.) So, I've found listening to audiobooks a good way to pass the time on the road. The local libraries here in Connecticut are inter-connected, so if my town library doesn't have a copy of the Lord of Chaos audiobook, they can have one delivered from another town library that does.

But, when I found out the series was finally finished early this year and I was looking for something new to "listen" to on my commute, I went back to the Wheel of Time. I found the two narrators to be excellent - Michael Kramer and Kate Reading. I've listened to several audiobooks before and this was the first one, other than the huge cast of the World War Z audiobook, that had a woman doing to female points of view. It was refreshing to hear a woman's voice doing Egwene, Nynaeve, Elayne, Aviendha, etc's points of view. I think it added to the story. I thought Kramer was consistently very good as well, and his voice became Rand, Perrin and Mat in my head.

The previous series that I listened to that had multiple points of view - A Song of Ice & Fire - only had one narrator, the otherwise excellent Roy Dotrice. (though, I winced a few times when the gravel voiced, and now 90 year old, Dotrice was "reading' the sex scenes.)

I have 2 jobs, 5 kids, a wife, 8 pets, no gardener and no house keeper, so my days of reading are over. Throne reading still happens, but that is short escapism :) So the audiobooks save me. I have had an audiobook in my car consistently since 2001. I've always kept a book in the car, one next to the bed and one in the bathroom, but it's the audio book that gets all the love. What I love about audiobooks is that you can't listen and be distracted, but you can do other things. With a book, it's just you and the book. With the audiobook I can exercise or drive. I am only on book 4 of the WoT and I am really enjoying it. I like the use of two readers. I've listened to several RA salvatore books done by Graphic Audio and while I like the the different characters are represented by different people, the books produced that way tend to be a lot more expensive. I think both Michael and Kate are doing a fantastic job. But after listening to probably 150 audio books, the best two readers for me have both been:

The part of WoT audiobooks that have bugged me the most is for some reason between book three and book four, they changed the pronumciation of the Amerlan Seat. It sounded distinctly like Sue Ann with the A being soft and now they are almost calling her Swan. I hate it :) Okay rant off.

Other than the huge cast of World War, it was really the first audiobook I'd listened to that had both a male and female narrator. Roy Dotrice is acclaimed for his work on A Song of Ice & Fire, but he does all the characters, male and female.

It has taken me a while to get used to Michael Kramer's unusual cadence but I'm now hooked. I had EOTW on in the car all day. I'm not an audio book fan, I'd rather read a book at home & listen to music in the car. But now that I'm used to the narrator's voice, it's a real treat. There's so much woven into the text, every time you read or hear it, you uncover new layers. I definitely want to listen to the whole series now but only after I've read each book.

There are a few pronunciation issues that never go away. Like when Kramer tries to say "tel'aran'rhiod." He gets "tel," then garbles the rest in the hope we won't notice. :) And both he and Reading pronounce "shone" "shown," which is weird. The other thing is that they (obviously) read some passages differently from how I'd read them, emphasize different aspects of the sentences. Sometimes, I think they've misinterpreted the emotions/illocutionary content being conveyed. It can be slightly distracting, but it's normal. On the whole, I'm quite favourably inclined towards them.

Kate Reading and Michael Kramer are a power couple when it comes to audiobook narration, with more than 30 years of experience and hundreds of titles to their credit. Wife and husband, the Audie Award-winning narrators are well matched in revealing the thoughts, feelings, and motivations of the myriad characters in The Wheel of Time. Their different styles complement one another, and two voices add energy to the action. As an AudioFile reviewer notes: "These veteran narrators keep the plot moving and the narration fresh.

The Wheel of Time is ever-spinning, moving through the past and future, and back again. A young man faces an evil adversary, worlds face war and rebirth. The winds of time blow on.

Robert Jordan's 15 book epic fantasy series spans multiple generations and tales throughout time for a tapestry of characters and tales which weave into one epic fantasy adventure. Opening with a story of a hero known as the Dragon and his battles against an evil entity known as the Dark One, the series uses classic fantasy tropes and classic plots but finds a way to infuse them with new life, making the series the best selling collection that it is.

Now on Audible, the audiobook adaptation allows audiences to experience Wheel of Time in a new and exciting way all over again. Narrating duo (and married couple) Kate Reading and Michael Kramer voice this epic, adding passion and more than 30 years of narrating experience to the fantasy adaptation. The pair are also Audie Award winners, their chemistry and talent are palpable and bring energy and excitement to these established titles.

The series draws on numerous elements of both European and Asian mythology, most notably the cyclical nature of time found in Buddhism and Hinduism; the metaphysical concepts of balance, duality, and a respect for nature found in Taoism; and the dualistic concepts of God and Satan.

The primary continent depicted in the series consists of three regions: the Westlands, Shara far to the east, and the Aiel Waste in between. Connecting these three areas in the north is the eastern part of the Great Blight, a once-verdant land mass that has been corrupted by the Dark One's influence. It stretches far west across the Aryth Ocean and borders the north of the continent of Seanchan. South of the Westlands is the Sea of Storms, and the small continent known as the Land of the Madmen.[7] The Westlands contain 14 nations, including Andor, Cairhien, Shienar and Tear,[8][9][10] as well as four major city-states: Falme, Far Madding, Mayene and Tar Valon.[8][11] Other notable cities include Caemlyn, the capital of Andor,[8] and Fal Dara, the northernmost city in Shienar.[10] Two Rivers is a region in Andor which includes the village Emond's Field, home of five of the series' main characters.[7] Shara, which extends much further south than either the Westlands or the Aiel Waste, is separated from the rest of the continent by the Cliffs of the Dawn and the Great Rift. Shara, supposedly a unified monarchy, remains mysterious to outsiders, who are only allowed to enter walled-off towns to trade.[7] The world in which the series is set is sometimes called "Randland" by fans, referring to lead character Rand al'Thor.[12] 2351a5e196
