The Path Of Daggers: Book 8 of the Wheel of Time (Now a major TV series)

This is a great series of books, I'm enjoying it, but I just wish there was less dialogue describing the look of characters and so on, and more action.

These books feel very dated now. Overly long descriptive elements of meaningless "flavor" that doesn't add to the plot, weak character development arcs with most characters having the same annoying and often 1 dimensional views on things they did 7 books ago, major plot devices that have no believeable foreshadowing and feel contrived and finally the female characters feel hopelessly written as if he's trying really hard to make strong female leads but only knows how to turn that into stubbornness. Weakest of the series to date, and enough that I won't ever want to read the 9th. Shame as the overall story is epic and gripping, but you could tell it twice as well in half the pages.

I Highly recommend it, as long as its your type of book.. Each to their own at the end of the day.. But personally I love them all :)
