Summary: There is little to no progression in the Story line.
Review: I found The Path of Daggers a waste if time. Robert Jordan's attempts at explaining the inner emotional termoils of his charaters stalls the story line to a extent that nothing ever happens. This book could be summed up in a couple of pages not 591. For those of you who don't want to waste time or money...

The is no mention of what happened to Mat in Ebou Dar. Elayne escapes with the bowl of winds and corrects the weather. Leaving Ebou Dar for Caemlyn (nothing really interesting happens on the way). Egwene consolidates her position as Amyrlin Seat by Declaring War on Elaida. Parrin unspectacullarly obtains control for Rand in Ghealdan. Perrin also meets up with the Prophet with no conclusion and Faile is captured by the Shaido with no conclusion presumablly to follow in another book. If Jordan Treats Faile like Mat, we should be hearing about her again in another two or three book.

In short This is a Disappointment.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Robert Jordan, what were you thinking!
Review: Robert Jordan is an amazing author, and The Wheel of Time is an amazing series, but this book was definitely NOT amazing. While "The Path of Daggers" is not horrible it is definitely not up to Robert Jordan's usual standards. My first major complaint about this book is its plot, or more precisely, its lackof. The plot moved no where in this book. Not one truly significant or surprising thing happened. My second major complaint is that my favorite character, Mat, is not in the book AT ALL. He is a necessity. Unlike Perrin, Mat is the series comic relief, and its most amusing character. Without him, the book is just dull. Also, the main character Rand is begining to become boring. All Rand does is think about how he is going insane, and worry about what he's going to do next. He shows no emotion, which doesn't make for a very exciting character. All I can say is that I hope that Jordan's next book is a whole heck of a lot more exciting than this one was.

Summary: ABOUT TIME HE FINISHED.
Review: I like the wheel of time series but is'nt it time he wrapped it up ,the story and character's are great and imageinitive still after eight books it is geting slightly long winded.Jordan is just trying to milk money out of it, and fair juice to him but the dragon rebon [rand al'thor], should decide which he loves most or decide to live with all of them except elayne 'cause she gets up my nose but all in all; good book but long winded!!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Wheel of Torture
Review: As a book, I rate it average. As a part of an "epic" series, I would give it zero stars. Favorite character, snubbed. Bickering of women, no longer amusing. Lack of plot progress, infuriating. I hope Jordan bounces back or disappointment will reach "epic" proportions.

Summary: Wheel of Greed
Review: Book 1: WOW!! I can't wait to find out what happens next. Book 2: WOW!! This is fantastic, I haven't enjoyed a series this much since LOTR. Book 3: AMAZING! This one is the best so far. Book 4 : Good! I wish the plot would move faster though. Book 5 : Hmmm. Well, I guess everyone can have an off day. I sure hope the pace picks up soon and an end is in sight. Book6 : Uhhh. Jordon doesn't seem to want to let go. Book 7 : ARGGG!! Stop the infernal repetitive descriptions already. Book 8 : $%#?%!! Does Better Business know about this, it's a scam.

My conclusion : This story will never end. Jordon has no idea where to go. Had this been a 4 book series, it would have gone down as a masterpiece. Instead it will go down as a MAKE MONEY SLOW scheme.

I give up!!! I no longer care what happens. My advice is to save your hard earned cash.

Summary: Stop whinning Rand Al'Thor
Review: I didn't even read this one - the last one (or two) were so drawn out that I began to loose interest. This could have been a better series if Jordon would stop stretching his character development out over several books. The Two-Rivers boys are still that, boys. Even though much time has gone by and their experiences have been diverse. What's the matter Jordon, need a new boat or something? After turning this promising series into so much puttering droll don't ever think that any but the most immature reader would again compare your writing to the likes of (any good writer). Is there time for you to remove your proverbial head from your ***? I guess we'll just have to see. Very dissapointed.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Jordan please come back
Review: Its amazing I've read everything else in the series just because of how good it is 11 times each and now I only read it 1 because I wanted to hear from mat

But it seems Jordon has let money go to his head and is going to extend it on till he retires and if Jordon does this thing again with the next book as he did with PoD then I will just wait till they apear in paperback or read it in the library if they find it worthwhile to carry them...... Pleas let Jordon slap himself and get working I gave it the 2nd star on loan from his previous books and ... Future novels..... please?...

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Jordan, FINISH IT!!!!!!
Review: The first book was fantastic, the rest were good. After having read all of the books, I would no longer recomend this series to a fellow reader; 3000+ pages of reading could be better spent elsewhere and at least you might get CLOSURE!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Like swampy Florida
Review: Hi I am a devoted fan of Robert Jordan since 1994 nontheless I started reading The Wheel of Time until last may. I devoured the first four books..book five turned out to be very hard and slow .books six and seven turned out to be better..but the eight one really disappointed me..SWAMPY FLORIDA could not wait to finish it and I am afraid Jordan is just making profit out of us all fans by following the Stephen King s recepie of "one novel a day" and its not thinking of a blasting comeback...I remember the gripping 1st book..I could not put it down! Now..I dont know if this is ever going to end..hope it does, in an excelent and satisfying conclusion.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A continued saga of immense proportions
Review: After finishing volume seven of Mr. Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series, I eagerly awaited the promised final volume in the series with some awe. I did not believe that anyone could tie up all the loose ends, plotlines, characters, situations and surprises Mr. Jordan always has found in this world he has created.

I am happy to say that I was right. The saga continues and I'm glad. If this is a "giveaway", I do apologize, but in my defense I must say that telling those who have avidly read SEVEN volumes of a tale that the EIGHTH cannot possibly be the last is giving away smiles.

Yes Rand is going mad and yes Cadsuane is with him, but the story goes on with more surprises - about the Power, about the people, about the damned, and Mr. Jordan must already be writing volume NINE.

Please?

This volume continues an experiment in creativity and, I'm sure, hard labor that has never been equaled and is comparable to Homer in its scope.
