Summary: Yawn........
Review: This is a series that started out great and has been going down hill fast in the last couple of books. I thought the first books were excellent and I have read them all more then once, but the last couple just don't have the same quality. That,and the fact that the wait between them is ridiculous in my opinion,will have me reading the reviews before I buy the next one. Hopefully the reason the latest edition is taking so long is because Mr. Jordan is taking the time to do it right,like he did in the beginning.

Summary: My reservations were misplaced
Review: Like many other reviewers, I also felt that this series was dragging after book seven. The reviews marking this trend as increasing in book eight nearly convinced me to give up on the series. Well I bought it, I read it, and I loved it! While it is true that the story is not much nearer to a conclusion, as enjoyable as this book was, I have to say that I prefer it that way. As long as Jordan can continue to deliver books in this series as interesting and compelling as "The Path of Daggers," I will continue to read them. I do have one complaint however, though I realize that it is probably unavoidable. Two years is simply too long to go between books in this series. "Wheel of time" is too complicated for this long of a break, as it involves such a large case of characters and subplots, and uses a vast collection of unfamiliar names and words. I would reccomend taking to time to review the glossary in the back before reading number eight.

Summary: Great but not his best
Review: I have been reading the Wheel of Time since I picked up the first book at the library while living with my dad for the summer. When I first read it I was amazed at how good it was and proceeded to get the rest of the series. After reading all of the books and then doing it again last summer I am still not bored with it. I did find The Path of Daggers to be more of a filler book with no real signifigant happenings, along with the fact that Mat did not appear in the book made it a little disapointing. Overal I think it was a good book but it could of been better. Hopefuly the next book will be more interesting and contain a better story line.

Summary: lighten up.
Review: i recently discovered robert jordan and his wheel of time series by way of recomendation from a friend. after reading the eye of the world i quickly ran out and bought all of the series up to and including the path of daggers and read them all in two days. these books are insanely good and in reading them you will become a new person and want to learn magic and ride dragons and dance around with little fairies in the woods. mat is my favorite because he has incredible luck with the ladies. i wish every night before i sleep that i were like mat; popular with the women and not even aware of it. rand is also great. he has special magic that makes him strong. perrin reminds me of my two dogs that bark and awaken my neighbors. if only i had rand's magic. those dogs wouldn't bark if they knew i had magic. those dogs would be quiet or i would ZOOOOM! blast them with my powers and turn them into rocks. my favorite book of the series is lord of chaos. the dark one himself could not keep me from reading it again. i think i'll go read it right now. buy this series or you will regret it. and when i write that you will regret it i really mean that you will just not have read it. farewell, humans......

Summary: Move the Story Along
Review: Having seen other reviews, I was prepared for the worst. I bought the book anyway and read it on a plane. It was not as good as some of the earlier stories, but was still interesting. Jordan really needs to pick up the pace by either writing faster (2 more year wait?) or move the story along. I just can't wait until 2010 for the last book.

Summary: The Wheel becomes a downward spiral...
Review: The 1600+ reviews of this book are truly a tribute to Robert Jordan's popularity as an author. Unfortunately the last couple books, Path of Daggers especially, have merely been a tribute to his ability to write garbage and still make money, and I mean truckloads of money. After getting hooked on the first five books, most of us seem to be in it until the end, always hoping that with the NEXT book, this series will return to it's former glory. I use to love Jordan's descriptive writing and tangled web of subplots. Now it's just getting tiresome as each book moves more slowly than the last. PoD basically grinds to a halt. There's still enormous potential in the series. Let's hope Jordan reaches it before the end. Let's hope he reaches the end before he dies of old age.

Summary: A review from someone who WON'T read this book!
Review: Thank all of you for saving me from wasting many useful hours of my life on more of Jordan's plodding work! I am glad I read the reviews before I went out and bought it... I am so sick of his characters, especially the annoying man-hating women. If you want to read a good fantasy book, drop Jordan and check out: Rhapsody: Child of Blood (by Elizabeth Haydon) or A Game of Thrones (by George R.R. Martin) You'll see from everyone's reviews on Amazon.com that these books are well worth your time! Do what I did - kick the Jordan habit! You'll respect yourself more if you never read another WOT book =)

Summary: stop complaining please
Review: Okay, lets face it. Jordans "Wheel of Time" series was not written to satisfy those who enjoy 1 dimensional heroes who kill the big bad dragon, rescue the princess and are rewarded with gold and thrones etc. but for those who like to get lost in a world nearly as complex and real as our own, it is simply a masterpiece. So please stop whining about too many characters, its just the way a real world would work. Simply for keeping so many complex story lines linked together, Jordan deserves deepest respect and the political machinations and developments in Randland are without a doubt the finest in modern fantasy literature. I can hardly wait to read book 9 and I know you can't either!

Summary: A Good Book
Review: I will admit that this is not the best of Jordan's works. The first 70-100 pages moved at a slower pace then I would have liked, dealing with Elayne, Nynaeve, Aviendha and the Bowl of Winds. However, this is an important part of the storyline, as Jordan's been building up to it since LoC, so it deserved an ample amount of coverage. However, once this part was over, the story really took off, and it had me turning pages to the end. I was a bit annoyed that Mat was not included in this book, but I assume he'll be given ample coverage in the next volume. As for the various things that seemed to jump out of nowhere, such as the Asha'man betrayal, I believe that Jordan was already hinting towards that and he will make the reasons more clear in later volumes. He is writing such a grand sweeping fantasy, with so many various subplots that it is taking time to weave them all together, and The Path of Daggers was just another step in bringing everything together for the final conflict at Shayoul Ghoul. Overall this was a good transition book, that doesn't deserve all the negative critisicm it's been receiving.

Summary: nothing but power struggle
Review: in this book the beauty, wonder, and friendship had been bred out. Nothing is left but power struggle: who could out-stare who, who outrank who, who is brought to heel. these are the basis of all relations in WoT. If you are not manipulating someone you are oppossing someone, or bootlicking, or snarling, glaring. Politics permeates everything. It is as grim as a real-life newsreel. I found myself caring less and less for Rand and the other heroes. Frankly, I don't know what to look forward to anymore.
