Negative Positive
Title: What happened?
Review: I have to add mine to the list of negative reviews of The Pillars of Creation. Having become an avid fan of this series, I expected the same powerful command of the language exhibited in prior volumes. Mr. Goodkind is capable of spinning a compelling and intense story. The earlier books in the series kept me awake nights unable to resist turning the page. I had to struggle through this story.Beyond the disappointment of not having my thirst for the main characters quenched, I found the writing was not up to Mr. Goodkind's par. There are entire sentences repeated almost verbatim. There are references made to actions by the characters that have never occurred. Whoever edited this book was asleep at the wheel and drove it off the cliff.My biggest fear is that now I'll wait another two years for news of Richard and Kahlan only to be disappointed again. Terry, take 3 years and really do it well the next time.
