The Path of Daggers certainly isn't the greatest of the books so far. But it does set up some very interesting story hooks and cliffhangers for the next book.

I feel like the Wheel of Time is sort of a mess. It begins with 3 ta'veren (special people twisting luck and chance in the pattern of time) leaving town, with two ladies who want to train to become Aes Sedai (female wizards). These 3 are constantly being harassed by dreams. And all of a sudden they aren't. The same goes for the Egwene. Dreams, dreams, dreams. Oh no. Not anymore. Nobody seems to want to learn from anyone. And normal conversations are out of the question.

That said. It's still a magnificent series, because of the epic world building, the multitude of characters, and the very well thought-out magic system.

Oh and this book finally has some dragons!
