Vol. 8: The Path of Daggers
In the riveting sequel to A Crown of Swords, Robert Jordan weaves brilliant new threads into the Pattern as The Wheel of Time turns.
The Dark One was convinced that his age-old enemy had been reborn as a villager named Rand al'Thor, and he meant to destroy the young man--or seduce him away from the Light. But as Rand took up the battle against the Shadow, he was not alone. With him were both the Aes Sedai--women who could channel the One Power, dedicated to thwarting the Dark--and Rand's own lifelong friends who, as it turned out, had their own strands of the Pattern to weave...

With a usurper in control of the White Tower, rebel Aes Sedai now follow Egwene al'Vere, who is determined to regain the Tower and reunite the ancient sisterhood. But Egwene feels her inexperience keenly, and cannot help wondering about the price she will have to pay to achieve that goal....
Hunted by Seanchan invaders, who use women that channel the One Power as weapons, Elayne, Nynaeve and Aviendha have made a dangerous bargain. Now they must survive its consequences as they set out for Andor, where Elayne will try to claim her rightful throne--well aware that evil may take any form on the road ahead....
With an army rallying around his Red Wolfhead banner, Perrin Aybara has been given a dire task to fulfill, though Whitecloaks, Seanchan, and the murderous supporters of the self-proclaimed Prophet stand in his way. Yet when he learns that his beloved wife, Faile, has been taken captive, Perrin will risk his mission, and his soul, to save her.
In Illian, surrounded by allies he dares not fully trust, the Dragon Reborn, Rand al'Thor, prepares to drive the Seanchan into the sea, for they are a deadly distraction he cannot afford to ignore. But the Power continues to take its toll--punishing his body, tainting his mind. And even as Rand questions his own sanity, signs of madness among his most valued Soldiers lead him to make a fateful--perhaps fatal--decision. (604 pp.)

gave it up 
November 07, 2008
I got about 1/2 thru this and gave it up. Got tired of the fact that he would stay with the main character. wondered all over the place with other characters. If he'd staid with RAnd the series would have been finished a long time ago. Really disgusted with this jumping every where but with the main character. This being said I will never finish ready this series. To bad so many feel other wise.

Never again
October 01, 2007
Never again will I buy into a series that is more than 4 books long. It started out great but was dragged on too long and now its over without being concluded.

Robert Jordan doesn't know where the wheel of time is going anymore
November 08, 2005
Jordan's first three books in the wheel of time were very good; them he lost direction. Too many words, too little story anymore. Jordan needs to wrap it up soon. He'll milk this series for 35 books if he can. I refuse to buy anymore of his books. I won't even waste the time to check one out from the library!
