Fiction. Science Fiction. HTML:For millions of fans around the globe, the wait is over. Sequel to the international blockbuster bestseller A Crown of Swords, The Path of Daggers continues one of history's greatest fictional journeys and the most extraordinary work of American fantasy ever published—The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and worldwide bestselling series—Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time.

The phenomenal tale that is mesmerizing a generation of readers now continues in Book Eight.

The Seanchan invasion force is in possession of Ebou Dar. Nynaeve, Elayne, and Aviendha head for Caemlyn and Elayne's rightful throne, but on the way they discover an enemy much worse than the Seanchan.

In Illian, Rand vows to throw the Seanchan back as he did once before. But signs of madness are appearing among the Asha'man.

In Ghealdan, Perrin faces the intrigues of Whitecloaks, Seanchan invaders, the scattered Shaido Aiel, and the Prophet himself. Perrin's beloved wife, Faile, may pay with her life, and Perrin himself may have to destroy his soul to save her.

Meanwhile the rebel Aes Sedai under their young Amyrlin, Egwene al'Vere, face an army that intends to keep them away from the White Tower. But Egwene is determined to unseat the usurper Elaida and reunite the Aes Sedai. She does not yet understand the price that others—and she herself—will pay.

Er was wat minder sprake van herhalingen, maar de hoeveelheid personages en plotlijnen zijn me iets teveel geworden in dit boek. Op een gegeven moment haalde ik Cairhien en Caemlin steeds door elkaar en begreep ik niet altijd meteen wie wie was.

En toch spreekt de wereld en het verhaal op zich me nog steeds aan. Ik krijg nu pas wat meer sympathie voor Rand, omdat zijn strubbelingen nu bij mij meer echt overkomen.

Maar ik wil weten hoe het met Matt is en hoe het met Faille afloopt. Dus ga ik meteen door met boek 9. Dat is ook meteen het laatste boek dat ik herlees, want daarna ben ik toendertijd gestopt. Dus vanaf boek 10 is het verhaal echt nieuw voor mij. ( )

Despite all the annoyances I have mentioned in my reviews of previous books in the series still being present, I liked this 8th book a bit more. This one has no big battle but I felt that all the various plotlines (except for Mat) were present and fit well together. ( )

Again somewhat of a slow story, to reiterate, with however-many volumes there are in the series I am sure that there will be a few titles that are more story building than story telling, and this was full of story building...Kate and Michael were exquisite as always. Damn they are good at what they do. ( )

This book took me a little longer to finish even if it's a bit shorter than the previous ones. Parts of it really dragged as there's more setup than action here. As always, I love the Rand and Perrin chapters though I miss Mat. The rest were just okay. I noticed that I'm starting to skim some of the repetitive description, but I can only take so much and I don't think I'm missing much. On to Winter's Heart. ( )

Epigraph
Who would sup with the mighty must climb the path of daggers. --Anonymous notation found inked in the margin of a manuscript history (believed to date to the time of Arthur Hawkwing) of the last days of the Tovan Conclaves

On the heights, all paths are paved with daggers. --Old Sanchan saying
Dedication
For Harriet
My light, my love, my heart,
forever
First words
Ethenielle had seen mountains lower than these misnamed Black Hills, great lopsided heaps of half-buried boulders, webbed with steep twisting passes.

Book description
All’orizzonte si profila la minaccia di una nuova invasione del mondo da parte dei Seanchan, una razza di conquistatori il cui arsenale comprende rettili volanti cavalcati da uomini, e schiave dalle abilità magiche più potenti dei soldati più forti, molti dei quali si sono uniti all’esercito dei Seanchan spinti dalla paura che suscita in loro il Drago Rinato. La magia di Rand al’Thor continua a mettere in pericolo le persone a lui care, accrescendo il timore di essere condannato a distruggere chiunque ami. Egwene intanto continua a consolidare il proprio potere come ‘vera’ Amyrlin, avvicinandosi sempre più a Tar Valon e all’inevitabile confronto con Elaida.
