Publisher's Summary

The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

In The Path of Daggers, the eighth novel in Robert Jordan’s #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, Rand al'Thor engages in battle wearing the Crown of Swords and wielding Callandor against a force unprepared for the wrath of the Dragon Reborn.

The Seanchan invaders are heading for Illian—and Rand's army of Asha'man soldiers. When they meet in battle, some of the Asha'man are afflicted by madness, unable to control their channeling and unleashing raw power.

The madness extends to Rand himself. He has been hearing the voice of a man believed to have been the previous Dragon Reborn. Besieged by visions and debilitated whenever he uses the One Power, Rand chooses to attack the Seanchan with Callandor. The sword consumes him with a berserker rage, felling ally and enemy alike. And when he regains his senses, Rand finds himself less trusted by those who were once the most loyal.

Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

Sometimes you just need the background

Just like when I read the books I found this story a bit lacking compared to the others but it does all wrap up in the end and it really does help with the whole plot. I wouldn’t have skipped this book but it is not one of my favourites.

I still recommend reading or listening to it but be prepared for it to not be as goo as the other 13 or 14 books

Kate Reading is trash

her over the top performance sometimes detracted from my enjoyment. Alos annoying was the differing pronouncement of names between the 2 readers.

better then I was told

not sure if it because I did listen to it through audible or because I actually expected nothing to happen but I enjoyed this book way more than I thought I would. Despite being considered the 'worst' in the series there were several time I found myself shocked and excited. Although it is shorter then previous books and perhaps didn't have that exciting of climax and can certainly say that the minute to minute reading was enjoyable and for a majority of the time kept me on the edge of my seat.

Great book but

Another great book in the series but there is to many audio bugs/glitches throughout that it just takes away from audio book experience and why I rate 4 instead of 5

Quality issues plague this copy

Great story and fantastic reading by Kate and Michael. (although sometimes I wish their pronunciation would match) all in all, wonderfully as always. Production wise in this copy there are quite a few quality issues. voices jumping and skipping throughout the middle of the book. this copy needs to be recreated from original product.

Classic series for any fantasy lover

I dislike that the woman are portrayed as so emotionally unstable written from a males perspective. You have to treat it with humor!
