Short answer
Michael Kramer and Kate Reading if you mean to read the whole series: they share every book on Audible UK, alternating by point-of-view character, so the voices you meet here carry through to the end. Rosamund Pike's reading is complete, award-winning and a genuinely different performance — but her readings cover the opening books, so choosing her means changing narrators partway through. Both are listed as unabridged, so the difference between them is the performance, not the text.
The recordings, compared
| Narrator | Length | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Michael Kramer, Kate Reading Our pick | 29 hrs 57 mins | Unabridged | Complete. The pair who read the entire series, splitting the chapters between them by point of view. |
| Rosamund Pike | 32 hrs 55 mins | Unabridged | Complete and solo. Pike plays Moiraine in the television series; her readings cover the opening books only. |
