The Path of Daggers: Book Eight of 'The Wheel of Time'

The ending does provide promise, though, that book nine might match the pace and passion of the previous books. But if you're new to the series, start at the beginning with the engrossing, much-better-paced Eye of the World. Mat Cauthon is barely mentioned, and fellow ta'veren Perrin keeps busy with politics in Ghealdan. If you're already hooked, you could sooner overcome a weave of Compulsion than avoid picking up a copy of Path of Daggers. Jordan's world is rich and complex, and he's assembled an endearing, involving core of characters while mapping out an ambitious and engaging story arc. --Paul Hughes. Path continues the halting gait of the current plot line: Rand is still on the brink of losing it, all the while juggling the political machinations a

Robin Snyder said Where is Mat???. This will forever be THE BOOK WITHOUT MAT.When The Wheel of Time began there was Rand, Perrin and Mat. I didn't even like Mat very much.
