Path of Daggers

Book Eight of The Wheel of Time

De: Robert Jordan

Narrado por: Michael Kramer, Kate Reading

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.

the best of the best

You are reading the best epic fantasy series there is. period. It may take a while to get into it but you will. There are 2600 plus characters but don't get scared teenagers read this every day. You will know these peoples as "friends" and "enemies" and like your own family. Read by the dynamic duo of recitation kate reading and michael kramer... they pull it all together .. I switch genres just to listen to them... It [the series] is really one huge wonderful story broken into 14 too short books that nobody wants to see ended..I can not express how good these books are. I have started 16 different friends reading TWoT and they are all addicted. You think that maybe the books are enchanted some how???
If fantasy is your genre you have arrived....... paul t.

Beyond magical!

Magical! And I love the readers! They make it alive when they read! They rule!

I love the readers

Great story, strong plot. All the female characters are a copy paste with varying allegiances though... Did Jordan have only indignant, authoritarian women in his life? Cause they are the worst characters in this whole series.

Well done

Another excellent entry into the Wheel of Time. Well read and engrossing, the two narrators do an exemplary job of pulling the listener into the story. Some of the pronunciations are questionable (Ms. Reading and Mr. Kramer pronounce "Weiramon" differently, for example), but that is to be expected. All in all I was quite pleased.

Another Fantastic Addition to a Great Series!

I love this series and have enjoyed every edition of this audiobook collection more than the last. Flawless save for some minor consistency issues with name pronunciation. Rereading the series and what a joy it is.

skipping is a big issue

around chapters 6 and 7, there's a lot of skipping and repeating. It's very distracting and I feel like I missed some important context.

The continuation of a great yarn, but dated views

Jordan's 8th book continues his vast, sprawling & epic story. But the internal dialogues of the main characters often wear thin and awkward with grossly stereotyped gender-based sexism.

Still, if you ignore the flat, caricatured inner musings on the "differences" between how men & women think, the rolling grandeur and richness of Jordan's world and interwoven stories can carry you away.

An adequate continuation of the saga.

Narration continues to be excellent. This book continues to adequately justify the investment of time made into the series.

Great Series

What does Michael Kramer and Kate Reading bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Fantastic voice changers and seem to understand the books which helps the vast amount of characters in the book.

keeps getting better

so much going on, so much more to come. Keeps getting better with each book. looking forward to the next.
