Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) The phenomenal tale that is mesmerizing a generation of readers now continues.
The Seanchan invasion force is in possession of Ebou Dar. Nynaeve, Elayne, and Aviendha head for Caemlyn and Elayne's rightful throne, but on the way they discover an enemy much worse than the Seanchan.
In Illian, Rand vows to throw the Seanchan back as he did once before. But signs of madness are appearing among the Asha'man.
In Ghealdan, Perrin faces the intrigues of Whitecloaks, Seanchan invaders, the scattered Shaido Aiel, and the Prophet himself. Perrin's beloved wife, Faile, may pay with her life, and Perrin himself may have to destroy his soul to save her.
Meanwhile the rebel Aes Sedai under their young Amyrlin, Egwene al'Vere, face an army that intends to keep them away from the White Tower. But Egwene is determined to unseat the usurper Elaida and reunite the Aes Sedai. She does not yet understand the price that others - and she herself - will pay.

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.
Mat is the character that's most absent throughout this book. He's mentioned a few times, but the reader is still left with the question of whether he survived having a building fall on top of him. Hopefully the next book will show us what has happened to Mat in Ebou Dar.
Most of the other main characters show up in this book. The absence of Mat just brings his plight that much more to the forefront, making the reader worry about his well being. (Or at least that's how I felt throughout the book!)
Rand takes his battle to the Seanchan. But while the Seanchan damane are late to join in the battle, the Asha'man have also had serious problems working saidin this close to Ebou Dar and where the Bowl of the Winds was used.
The ending leaves Perrin's wife, Faile, in a dangerous situation - captive to the Shaido Aiel.
Next up: Winter's Heart.
You can purchase The Path of Daggers through Amazon in hard copy or Kindle format.
