Title: Goodkind comes down with Jordan's disease
Review: The Sword of Truth started with such high hopes. I liked the first three, the fourth started the downward slide. The fifth left a lot to be desired and this one...the 6th is a total waste of time and money. Goodkind has now joined the Robert Jordan club of has-been writers. Both started with great ideas, then through greed kept churning out mediocre and then awful novels. Jordan's Rand and Goodkind's Richard started out such strong and interesting characters and evolved to the point that I no longer care what happens to them. Both also started their series with interesting and strong female characters. All of the surviving women in the Wheel of Time series became comical caricatures and Goodkind's Kahlan is fast joining that group. There should be a Writers' First Rule...no epic can go beyond 3 volumes. Philosophers should write philosophy and fantasy writers should write fantasy...the two don't mix. At least not for Goodkind.
