Summary: You can't hit a homerun every time.
Review: After an eternity of wait the eigth installment of the world of time series has got to be the worst out of all the books in the series. I remember thinking when I recieved the book I wanted to finish as soon as possible. After the first hundred pages it was a pain to keep reading it, I put it down and forgot it for a few weeks and finally got around to reading it. It was a chore to read and I think that RJ is beginning to think it's a chore to write. If your a fan you hope the next will redeem the series. If this is the first book you read in the series, please don't let it stop you from reading the greatest series of all time.

Summary: Welcome to the Wheel of Time SOAP OPERA
Review: Almost nothing really happened in The Path of Daggers, and when something did, it wasn't satisfying. Jordan leads you around and around without getting anywhere. Jordan has a 600-page minimum limit, but this book could have been much more enjoyable as a narrowed down 100-page version. There is no feeling of achievement at the end of the book.Jordan probably decided that he is never going to end this soap opera. He's going to write more and more episodes (books) leading nowhere. He will just make sure that there is some tense moment ending each episode, to force his devoted followers to tune into the next one. Considering the events that were promised already in the first eight books, and the rate at which Jordan is covering them in his last two, we can easily expect ten more books before the end. Of course, Jordan can always delay this event further by adding divergences as the story unfolds. I am deeply upset with this approach. It happened before in two series that I had to quit in the middle: Frank Herbert's Dune and Roger Zelazny's Amber. There is a better approach to continuing a series "forever", the "related stories" approach. You can find it in classics such as the Dragonlance series by Margaret Weis et al, and the Pern series by Anne McCaffrey. Jordan can finish the current story and then go back to tell the stories of "the Breaking of the world", Hawkwing's life, etc. I bought the first seven books, but I borrowed the eighth from a friend. I'm not going to read the ninth unless I'm told that Jordan is back on the right track.

Summary: who wrote this book???
Review: Robert Jordan couldn't have written the Path of Daggers because this book sucked it took 3 weeks to read I read the other 7 in 1 month. please have the characters actually acomplish something in the next book suspense and action might be nice anything is better than the 28$ of nothing that I bought

Summary: A book to set the tone of the next one.
Review: This book lends itself as an intro to the next book. The book could have been shortened and just placed as the first part of Book Nine. Not the best book in the series.

Summary: Robert Jordan has produced a GREAT work of fiction!
Review: I am in awe of R.Jordan. He has created a world with such detail and definition that it is believable. When I pick up his book at night, I am quickly engrossed in Andor and forget I am on earth in my bed. To a author of fantasy, I would see this as the ultimate in compliments. No other book has given me what Jordan has in this series. Thank you

Summary: it's just a prelude to book 10
Review: a book should be able to stand on its own two feet, reguardless if it's part of a larger series. this book, obviously can't do that, and anyone who thinks it can is dilluding themselves. for a better series check out terry goodkinds's 'sword of truth'. it's a great series, but also each book can stand alone and be a wonderful read. instead of wasting your time on these 'chapters' of the series, which jordan calls books, move on to an author whom isn't so influeced by the process of milking-money. anyone wants to argue with me: bring it on!

Summary: Sorry, but it wasn't worth the wait.
Review: I am probably one of the most obsessed fans of the Wheel of Time series that there is. I've read the first six books seven times each! Even so I have to say that with Path of Daggers, Jordan blew it. Jordan spends far too much time leading up to events and not finishing them! For every mystery resolved there are 10 more new ones. The whole book only covers about 11 days! And (this was my biggest gripe against this book) WHERE THE **** IS MAT??? JORDAN JUST LEFT HIM BURIED UNDER SOME WALL IN ... well, those who have read aCoS know what I'm talking about... I don't want to tell too much for those who haven't. Book nine promises to be chock full of plot and action (but then again I thought the same of book 8 when I put down Crown on Swords). So if you haven't started the series, wait until it's complete. If you have, you're hooked, so buy it and suffer the wait along with the rest of us.

Summary: a little disappointing
Review: This was definitely not very fast-paced. I was very excited about it at first, but it left way too many of my questions unanswered.

Summary: disappointed with this empty book because it was BORING!!!!!
Review: The book was completely pointless the characters did even move it was one the most boring book I have ever read and I am not sure if I will buy the next. It made the bestseller list but if you want to look at real writer. People should check George RR Martin

Summary: Excellent drawing with words. Makes mind views easy.
Review: "The Path of Daggers" is a perfect flow from "A Crown of Swords". Mr. Jordan has again proven himself a master word-crafter. His sceneries are all excellent examples of drawing with words. Whether he is describing a street in "Ebu Dar" or a palace in "Andor" the mind can easily view his characters in detailed surroundings. His ability to take you back in time to scenes from previous books just when your mind needs a little reminder is unsurpassed. And as always you begin missing his characters as soon as you close the back cover. Waiting for the next book is never easy!
