Title: The Series That Never Ends
Review: I'm not going to jump on either bandwagon here -- I'm not a diehard fan (though I've read them all), and I'm not a huge fan of the digression, either. I borrowed this book, and read it, and was glad I hadn't paid for it.Goodkind seems to suffer from the same disease Robert Jordan does. It's the "I'm going to write the series that never ends" disease. I don't blame him for wanting to write about someone else -- but Terry just couldn't leave his series alone (probably because of the extra several tens of thousands of copies he'll sell by putting it in the series proper). This story would have been a much better, more interesting book if he had written it "next to" the storyline, but not interacting in a meaningful way. It was written because he needed to add another major twist to his series to lengthen it another few books. That's just plain annoying.Finish this series, Terry, and let's move on to another incredible world (or storyline) ... Please ...
