About this listen

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.

I wont review the text, its Wheel of Time- one of the great fantasy series. The audiobook quality is however variable. Kate Reading takes the majority of the book provides a compelling performance. Michael Kramer takes the second half and really kills the flow and enjoyment. I'm still not sure why he keeps getting employed to read in his stolid, inflectionless, rushed shopping list voice. Its not a performance its a man maintaining a words per minute count, and that's just the narration. It gets worse when he pulls out his repertoire of grating pantomime character accents.

Good instalment, Reading is fine Kramer is awful.

Jordan's foresight in composing this series is incredible, so much so that this epic series outlasted the author, luckily Sanderson completed the final three books.

The characters are excellent and balanced, while the depth of description can baffle at times it only serves to illustrate and soon draws you deeper.

Simple put, listening or reading this series is hard to beat.

One of the top ten fantasy series ever !

The story proceeds, sometimes it goes very slow with a bit to detailed descriptions of characters not to relevant to the story and the book not moving forward.

Great job by the narrators, i like thats it's one male and one female and they both make the characters come alive.

one of the greatest fantasy series I have ever read. In this book there is more storyline and slightly less politics than in the last few, and it has rekindled my enjoyment of the series.

Eight down, five to go

A good addition, it is a little slower thannprevious books as new arcs have started so it must build again. It does pick up later though.

A great book, but the story is slowing down a tad
