The Path of Daggers

Path of Daggers was a very drawn out book. A lot happened in the way of character development, but as far as anything fast paced and gripping? There were only a handful of scenes. I did find it interesting how saidin begins to act and the reason behind it, and there is a strange sickness that still has me puzzled. Cadsaune is beginning to intrigue me as well as frustrate me. I believe her intentions are good, but she's on that Aes sedai high horse and won't come down. I was annoyed that a character left on a cliffhanger in Crown of Swords is only mentioned once in passing by Rand. I am hoping you find out the character's fate in the next book. I do understand there is only so much that each book can hold, and maybe Jordan knew this book was dragging and purposefully makes us go to the next just to find out what happens. It certainly is an appropriate hook. Elayne is starting to get on my nerves. Her actions towards the end of the book make me want to smack her, and her inane quest to claim Rand. She's a control freak that needs to realize what she wants she can't always have. And finally, As I'm getting closer to the end of the series I am listing all the loose ends left behind and I hope they are all neatly tied eventually.
