Negative Positive
Title: Improbable characters and tedious plot
Review: The only explanation for this book is that an alien snatched Terry Goodkind and replaced him with an illiterate life form. This is simply a dull, poorly crafted book. The dialogue is infantile and strained, and the plot develops only because the protagonist and antagonist, along with the rest of the characters, are all incredibly dull-witted. Completely without subtlety or craft, Goodkind's worst-ever effort.
