I'm assuming you're referring to the Eldar Path series which goes Path of the Warrior ---> Path of the Seer ---> Path of the Outcast

If you don't already have the codex, that would be a good place to start.

What they said. Plus avoid any BL novels written by C.S.Goto on Eldar.

Near as I can tell the Path series is the only modern novel written from the Eldar perspective, which annoys me seeing as the author made some unsubstantiated judgments on the Eldar culture that don't line up with the general tone of a dying race or anything at all I've come up with about my Craftworld and his characters' competence varies vastly as the plot demands.
I would explain more specifically, but I can't figure out how to spoiler-tag something, so I'll avoid that for now except to say that there's a certain very one-sided one-on-one fight in the first novel that really ought to have been very one-sided the other way around, and that any time you write a character who's an apprentice and yet somehow magically shows up the more experienced mentor figures and accomplishes something nobody else can you've wandered into the territory known in technical terms as 'bad writing'.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.
