Helpful Score: 2
For me, book 9 of the Sword of Truth series started off real slow. In fact it stayed slow until the last 4 or 5 chapters. This was a tough one to keep moving through, but I've made it this far into the series and need to finish it up. Having said that, the last 4 or 5 chapters were superb and really moved the story along, in fact it made the rest of the book worthwhile reading, I just wish it would have gotten this far sooner. Unfortunately I'm not sure Terry could have done much more to make the book more riveting without decreasing some of the effectiveness of the plot. I've left this book looking forward to the final two books, but hoping they are more like the last 100 pages of this one instead of the first 700.
Another wonderful book I loved it. Just couldn't put it down.
Great book-very well written-it is a mystical novel with a great ending!
Another great addition to The Sword of Truth epic.
I guess this is the first of a trilogy within the Sword of Truth series. This is all about Richard being the only one that knows Kahlan exists and everyone else thinking he's lost his mind. My guess and prediction ;) is that the next one Phantom will be about Kahlan and then perhaps the third one will be about the last battle. But I don't know for sure.
I hadn't read much fantasy fiction and knew Goodkind to be a popular author. This novel is long enough to be a companion for awhile.
"After being gravely injured in a surprise attack, Richard Rahl awakes to discover his beloved Kahlan missing. To his disbelief, no one remembers the woman he is frantically trying to find . . ." Much praised by reviewers.
Can't wait fo rthe next one to finish how this one really ends!
good series - but long.
great book
I love this series but would like to have more of Kahlan in this one...guess I have to wait until the next one comes out in paperback!
