Summary: Half book 7 and Half book 9
Review: Gathering up all the weaves? Is Faile going to teach Perrin the Language of Fans? What happened to the fan opening and closeing faster that thought? Is Moraine alive? Who are the Left and Right Daggers? Does Mat take command of the Seachean? Is is he under that wall still? Do Nynevea and Rand clean the Source? The Red Hawk from his Conan books reminds me of Faile, and Perrin could end up being a fully developed Hordo. The Wheel of Time is THE EPIC STORY!

I hope no balefire burt any threads out of the ending..

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I've Had Enough
Review: Enough is Enough already. Has Robert Jordan completely lost the plot or is he getting paid by the word. This series started off promosing so much and this latest piece of dribble has completely shattered the illusion that this will be a great series. To all would-be authors out there - take note - it is quality and NOT quantity of writing that counts. Re-introducing characters and ideas OVER and OVER drives me to distraction. I'm just grateful I read this at the library and did not pay money for it. I refuse to read on in future.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Booooring
Review: Cognitive dissonance: boy, I wish I'd waited for the paperback, and then waited some more for it to show up in the used book stores, and then burned the damn thing without reading it. Trade it for an ol' yeller dog, and shoot the dog! I read the first sentence in each paragraph and skim fast. I wished I'd never gotten the first book, because my insatiable human curiosity now drives me to see if Jordan ever recovers his initial promise.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I'm a big author now I'll sacrifice my writing to make money
Review: It seems to me that Jordan no longer cares about his the wheel of time, that is why he keeps drawing this series out, just to make more money. Now that he is a popular author he even prolongs releasing his books so he can write a bunch of garbage books for people to buy while waiting for the next book in the wheel of time. I hope he hurry up and finishes the series, before it gets worse, because this series used to be my favorite since tolkien, and I would recommend it to everyone, now its just a bunch of jumbled crap.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: This book is like LAAAG
Review: I'm a fan of the series, but this one sucked. It is a plug in between books, an attempt to drag out the series to the 10 books Jordan wants. If he didn't keep introducing sh!t it could have been done in 5 books. THAT is a good lenght. The only other author i know of that did 10 is L. Ron Hubbard, and most people finished that just so that they wouldn't wonder what happened to the characters, not to read a finalle to a good seires. That is what I think is going to happen to Jordan.

(Expalining the comment above, the lag thing, it's like playing a really good game of quake2 on the net then being interupted by a period where nothing moves, then everything comes back and you find that you've been killed twice.)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good.Stop whining about Matt.
Review: Although it did take too long for stuff to happen

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved it - even better than the last one!
Review: I don't know what all the whining is about. I absolutely loved this book. I think all the plot developments that go one in POD are essential to the story line, and I almost cried when I finished the book - I can't bear the lengthy wait until the next one comes out. By all means, read this one. But as it is a very detailed series, you might want to reread all the others first, if it has been a while...what a chore :-)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Horrid, Agonizing, and I will read (but not buy) the next bk
Review: I finished Path of Daggers last night and put myself to sleep composing this review. Fortunately most of my criticism has already been made. The combination of weak but strong women characters (do any of them ever not burst out weeping twice per volume?) and generally adolescent main characters I could handle from the beginning book because of the strong imaginative force of Jordan's world. But the last four of five volumes, with so little action and so much bickering among the women, the loss of Rand as a character and his emergence as a disconnected force of nature-bah! Jordan is like a Victorian serial writer, paid by the word (or the bushel of words, in his case). He doesn't even have the page-turning, cliff-hanging skill of a Trollope or Dickens. All I have been able to think as I read the last three volumes is how many volumes the actual action will take--another 8 or will Jordan simply surrender and dump the project in one or two volumes?

He has sold away the opportunity to have a long-paid, much treasured series like Tolkien by his egoistical stab at a Proustian fantasy world!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This book is the WORST
Review: This book was terrible in every aspect imaginable. Im done with this once innovative and interesting series. It's turned into worthless drivel. Mr. Jordan, I hope you are happy with the money this drawn-out series is bringing you, because it's costing you the respect of thousands of once-fans of yours before you let this series turn to mush.

p.s. What every happened to editors?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This is the worst RJ book
Review: Don't waste money on this cheese book. For you people who thought this book was the epitome of his writing, either you are 10 years old and don't understand the writing, or just another clueless freak who just wants to be different.
