Title: Better than the previous, well-written, but more of the same
Review: The latest installment is a definite improvement on its predecessor. I've read a lot of the other reviews and they all make valid points: Similar story, boy has girl, boy loses girl, boy gets beat up, boy gets girl back. But if you are paying attention, it seems that Mr. Goodkind is taking a close look at the rise and fall of communism. The story is very well written and it kept me interested from cover to cover. It does advance the story, as we find more of the Midlands falling to the enemy, and we learn a lot more about the Order and its goals/reasons for what it does. Nikki is a great character, but she becomes a little frustrating after a while. Well worth the money and time to read. PS. I hate to see reviewers tearing a book apart when they obviously have a weak grasp of the written language themselves!
