Summary: But nothing really happens
Review: Another brilliant yet long winded example of how to develop characters oh so slowly. i still found the installment highly addictive but found it tended to get bogged down in matters i felt were trivial and frivolous, when compared to the seriousness of the business at hand awaiting in Shayol Ghul. Im trying not to be negative but couldnt we have had at least one chapter dealing with Mat. The most interesting yet underdone character in the whole story. Path of Daggers is a must for Jordan fans, but ive found friends of mine who are also avid Sci/fi fantasy fans have found the Wheel of Time series very heavy going.

Summary: Use your own judgement
Review: It seems Robert Jordan cannot do right by anyone. People praise him for writing and developing interesting characters in complicated plots and then turn around a critize him for introducing the many secondary characters needed to have these complicated plots. They praise him for his attention to detail, but berate him for the few extra words needed to have that detail.This is a good book! It definitely could not stand alone, but that is only because it is the 8th book in a wonderfully coordinated series. If you enjoyed the series so far, you should enjoy this book.

Summary: Book 8 rights and wrongs
Review: In "Path of Daggers", Robet Jordan once again takes us into the world he crated. This book was another great book by Jordan, but the fatal flaw, the end of the book didn't really leave the readers with the same thoughts as the previous books did. The end of the book seemed... rushed to me and with this series as big as it is I can see why. The book missed 2 or 3 release dates, and people all over the world were waiting for this book, so the end was rushed. Personally I was upset because of nothing really being said of Matt, and I say in the future who cares about how long it takes; let the books be a year late and end with a bang, intead of rushing a master to just get something done! All in all this is a great book and a must read for any Robet Jordan fans. Don't be discouraged by people who can only remeber how a book ends, let alone they can't write a book half as good as this themselves!

Summary: The time to bail is now...
Review: For any who have been considering bailing out on this series for the last several books, and have hesitated in picking up this latest installment, I say this: you have made a wise choice. This is the last Wheel of Time book that I will be reading, and I whole-heartily recomend that anybody who has been getting tired of the same old boring garbage that we have been enduring since the middle of The Fires Of Heaven skip out on this series and give up on it now. It just goes on and on, and there is no end to the series in sight! Damn...700 pages with about 75 pages of actual plot advancement. Bah! The only people who sing the praises of this are the die-hard, hopelessly loyal fanboys who would give ten stars to a page smeared with Robert Jordans feces...which isn't too much worse than the actual content of this book. So much potential, gone to waste...

Summary: Not his best, but Jordan is a D*MN sight above the rest.
Review: I have read all of Jordan's books several times. This book is a little slower than the others, but he is clearly setting the stage for the next book. For those who want to cry about it, GROW UP!! Life isn't always one crisis after another. I have read over 1,200 authors and my personal fantasy collection would do a library proud. Robert Jordan is head and shoulders above any other fantasy author out there.

Summary: Once decent high fantasy turned cynical marketing ploy
Review: I've read all of Jordan's Wheel of Time books, but this is the last. It's difficult to believe that this once above average fantasy series is now anything but a cynical marketing ploy. In a genre in which most of the trilogys (in all honesty) are padded to additional volumes to gather in extra fan dollars, Jordan takes the cake. Eight volumes and no end in sight! Which would not be so bad if the plots (even when not duplicative) did not move at a glacial pace. And, while this may seem contradictory (after all, who wants more of a bad thing?), compared to earlier volumes, the pages (but not the price) are fewer and the print is bigger (I checked; an earlier volume had about a quarter more lines per page). What's worse, this book is often is difficult to follow even for a reader who has read (but not cultishly studied) all previous volumes. As per (unfortunate) industry practice, no synopsis is provided and the previously useful glossary has been drastically shrunk. Yet Jordan trots out or refers to a legion of primary and secondary characters without ever working in some graceful exposition to reacquaint a reader with a minor character that might have been last encountered hundreds of pages and several years ago. Indeed, Jordan's primary talent now appears to lie in creating literally hundreds of similarly named characters (sometimes it almost seems on the same page). And if they have something to say once, they'll say in four times. And four times again in the next chapter (sort of like this mini-review). If Jordan had written the Lord of the Rings, Frodo might now just be entering Mordor. But remember, he would have been writing it since the 1930's.

Summary: Better than nothing
Review: This book was definitely not Jordan's best - in fact, it was downright putrid. I can't shake the feeling that 400 pages could have been cut out, and the entirety of book 9 inserted, and the book might have been worth something. As is, however, Jordan's worst is still better than many author's best, the charachters are all still interesting, the plot (such as it is) is well laid, and the promise for book 9 will keep me reading for at least one more book.

Summary: Do not buy this book. You have been warned.
Review: My advice to anyone that has not already bought this book is to borrow it or check it out at the library. The best advice would be to get a summary of what happened, (which is not much) and wait and see what the next book brings. I will finish the series, but not by way of buying the books with my money. If more readers would do the same, maybe authors would think twice about releasing garbage to make money.

Summary: Utter Bull Sh*t!!!!
Review: I can't articulate how awful this sh*t is! Read the 1000 other scathing posts to get some idea. When the series began to deteriate after the 4th or 5th book I used to think that I may have just gotten older and more mature. But these posts have showed me that it isn't me but Jordan who is changing. What the hell is happening? I wouldn't read the next book if you paid me $50. You're a sell-out Jordan!!!
