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.

increasing awesomeness from Robert jordan on this series. I can't wait to read the next book.

wonderfully

The plot is moving along too slowly. There is only enough content for 1/3 to 1/2 of a book. Disappointed but what choice is there but to keep reading? This seems to be an all to common pattern in this genre, maybe designed by publishers to squeeze out more money. Maybe Robert was just dealing with somewhat of a block. All I can say is that the truly great authors never wasted pages milking the teet.

Any additional comments?

Its the same narrators as before and they both do a good job as always. My problem is more specifically to do with the actual audible/download.

There was a point in the third part in what the audible classifies as chapter 10 where I jumped what must have been a good 30-40 pages worth of content. I can't remember exactly what was happening before the jump, but suddenly it skipped to an action scene where Min was thrown to the ground and Rand started hunting down his Ashaman. I have no idea what happened in between and redownloading the book in normal and higher quality doesn't seem to fix the issue for me. Luckily, I have a hard copy to go to.

Some Issues With Editing/Download, Decent Story
