Title: I had to stop reading
Product review: After reading about 150 pages of this book, I just had to quit. Terry Goodkind seems to have fallen into the same trap that has snared writers like Robert Jordan. He seems to have decided to keep the series opened ended and just kick out as many Sword of Truth novels as he can. The focused story that was present in Goodkind's earilier works is no longer there. This book is just something to bridge the way to books six, seven, and eight. The writing itself is not bad, but much like the Wheel of Time series, the Sword of Truth series is picking up a lot of dead weight. We see an ever multiplying cast of characters and the story itself just gets bigger and no end is in sight. I will waste no more time on this series. I like stories that have an ending.
