The Path of Daggers (The Wheel of Time, Book 8) 1710 reviews Robert Jordan
Tor Fantasy, 1999
A lot of character interaction/detail, less action
The Path of Daggers starts where the previous book, A Crown of Swords concluded. Roughly a month to a month and a half passes throughout the 8th book.
In A Crown of Swords, Rand conquerors the city/nation of Illian and kills the Forsaken Sammael. He is then named King of Illian and presented ...

A Crown of Swords (The Wheel of Time, Book 7) 660 reviews Robert Jordan
Tor Fantasy, 1997
Still strong, but Jordan begins to milk it
+ A decent addition to the series, but the cracks are starting to widen
While I rate this book highly, this is the first book in the series where I really began to feel that the story was being stretched out deliberately to yield more books in the future. Many of the subplots advance slowly and more subplots are introduced, leaving more loose ends to tie up later. ...

Crossroads of Twilight (Wheel of Time, Book 10) 2417 reviews Robert Jordan
Tor Fantasy, 2003
Not as bad as I thought it'd be
3.5 stars. The events in the beginning of this book, told from Mat, Perrin, and Elayne's perspective, occur simultaneously with the ending scene of the previous book, Winter's Heart. The last several books, beginning with A Crown of Swords, have slowed down time-wise considerably with events ...

New Threads in the Pattern: The Great Hunt, Part 2 (The Wheel of Time, Book 2) 2 reviews Robert Jordan
Starscape, 2004
Remember the Audience!
You can't take this as a whole for a Jordan work. It's meant to open up the series to younger kids, not be just half of the Great Hunt. The same goes for all of these shorts.

+ about all the complaining + amazing book
I'm getting tired of hearing everyone whine and complain about this series. Put simply the Wheel of Time books are amazing. If you have the time and are interested in reading them, you should.
That said, this book is the first half of the second novel. While some people may see this as a huge ...
