Title: Not so much...
Product review: I love fantasy. I teach high school literature. I read - a lot.And I'm not that picky. I devour books. But this series? I don't think I've ever had as negative a visceral reaction to fantasy, and literature in general, than I had when reading these books. I stuck with Goodkind and read every novel in this series. I wish I had the last six months of my life back. Yes, they were that bad. Obviously, I'm a completist (OCD will do that to you), as well as a glutton for punishment.Before you click "add to cart," do yourself a favor and check out anything and everything written by Robin Hobb. She is simply the best fantasist writing today. Period. There is a depth and complexity to her characters and world building that Goodkind never quite gets his pen around. George R.R. Martin is also stellar, and his "Ice and Fire" saga is captivating.Taste is subjective, and I know the positive reviews are heartfelt. I simply cannot recommend this series to anyone. Ever.
