This book was unnecessary, it should have been split into the book before and after, but I get the impression it wasn't because of pressure to publish. It felt like not a lot happened, just a lot of manuvering characters into position

My review of The Crown of Daggers stated that the slog was real. However, after reading The Path of Daggers, I will retract my words. Sure, the plot does not progress much, and If I had to wait a couple of years for the next book, this would have been a small issue, but since I can pick up the next book and continue reading, this does not feel like a slog. This is easily one of the more action-packed Wheel of Time books I have read. I can even say that this is one of my favorites so far. The stakes seem to become bigger and bigger, and you feel a storm brewing. I am very excited to read the next entry in the series. It is becoming increasingly clear why so many people love the series.
