Product ReviewsWheel of Time Ser.: The Path of Daggers : Book Eight of 'the Wheel of Time' by Robert Jordan (1998, Hardcover, Revised edition)

Going Hard Cover

It is an old man's vanity, but I am slowly updating Jordan's WoT to all hard covers. Have read and re-read multiple times but now want them to look neat on the bookshelf, because I still prefer books and so need the shelf as well. But, as I said, it is an old man's vanity.

Though these ones have not yet been delivered.Read full review...

Entertainment starting to flag

I wanted so badly not to listen to the bad reviews my friends had given the latter half of this series...but once you get to Path of Daggers, its too much to ignore the failings.
The interesting characters which absolutely glued you to these books are given "bit parts" in this book and the previous. Sure, we have the huge Asha'man movement by Rand in the last third of the book, but untill then this is mainly the "Aes Sedai Chronicals", which is very uninteresting to put it kindly. There are some points where the stories of the ladies are fun to read, but by large they're boring and drawn out.
If this trend continues I will be very tempted to skip swaths of 200+ pages simply to get to the characters that actually matter and are interesting.Read full review...

The Path Of Daggers - Wheel Of Time: Book 8

The continuing story of the Dragon Reborn and his Taveeren friends. If you are interested in this book, I can't imagine you haven't read the previous 7, or won't read the remaining 4, the Light willing.

These books are wonderfull for their creativity, their scope, individualized characters, and for retaining a human element throughout. Fantasy has too many characters who rush to slay the dragon and save the princess without ever asking "Why?". In WOT, the characters question what they do, and have personal motives for acting. That kind of depth draws you in, and makes you want to read more about these characters, that very quickly become real people to you.

That connection with the characters, of which there are many aside from Rand Al'Thor, is what makes reading 12 books at 600 pages each a pure joy. Robert Jordan will be missed, but he gave us a lot to be thankful for.Read full review...

Outstanding Series of Fantasy Novels!

"The Path of Daggers" is book Eight of "The Wheel of Time" series by Author Robert Jordan. Everyone always compares Jordan to Tolkien but I think he stands out on his own.
His characters are complex and tangible, you feel as if you are in the story right along side the protagonists. I was thoroughly hooked in the first novel! Jordan's female characters are as strong as the males, something not generally seen in most of the fantasy genre.
This series is equally enjoyable for a young audience a well as older. I am looking forward to reading these to my son!
I had originally bought this series as it was published but lost part of the collection in a move, so I am using Ebay to complete it again with first print hardcovers.Read full review...
