Title: If you like Ayn Rand then you'll love this book.
Review: ARGH! Enough already Goodkind! What a slog! This is basically a book in fawning reverence to Ayn Rand and her social/political philosophy of Objectivism. Particularly in the chapters detailing the raising (?) of the character Nicci (wow! I just got it: Nicci - Nietzsche?). Basically Goodkind's Sword of Truth books, especially this one, preach and preach and preach. Please note that I am NOT talking about religious preaching, but rather social/political preaching. The preaching is way over the top and goes on and on for chapter after chapter - We get it, we get it - stop already. I had hoped to find an entertaining, exciting fantasy series, and instead ended up with a social/political diatribe. If you don't mind being preached to in the guise of a fictional novel and/or you like Ayn Rand then you will probably enjoy (and agree with) this book/series. But for anyone else, don't waste your time or money.
