Title: Seriously Disappointing
Review: First of all, I'd like to say that I really enjoy The Sword of Truth Series. It gives me everything in a fantasy novel that I could ask for. At times, Goodkind makes me drop Jordan to number 2 on my fav list.This book, however, puts Jordan back to number 1. The only reason I got any joy out of it was when I made the ultimate reader crime and started skipping ahead. I'd read a page here, a page there, and then, suddenly - thankfully! - I reached the story where Richard and Kahlan come into play. After that I read it straight through and really enjoyed it. That's the only reason.It seems to me that Goodkind is stretching his story out a little too thin. He needs to focus on the parts of the story that made it so successful in the past - Richard, Kahlan, and Zedd. When he does that, I might be able to keep him from falling further on the list. As it is, he's already crawling behind Jordan, George R.R. Martin, and Tad Williams.
