  • Path of Daggers: Is This Book a Joke?

    I still don’t believe this is the actual book. I’m expecting Robert Jordan’s widow to pop out of the door with a camera. She’s going to laugh at me, then hand me the actual book. That’s more believable than this being what the Path of Daggers actually is. Hoo boy, the Slump is going to…
