Books Like The Great Hunt

Read more

Kate Reading and Michael Kramer handle the second Wheel of Time volume's 27-hour runtime with the same settled assurance they bring to the full series — their voices have become inseparable from how Robert Jordan's world sounds, and by this volume the dual- division feels completely natural. Nine of the ten recommendations share the same narrators, and the list spans both Jordan and Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series — all long, all epic, all in that same Kramer-and-Reading sonic universe.
