Title: No longer so good, and maybe not kind
Review: I was disappointed in this new book by Terry Goodkind. I missed the old characters, the humor, the caring between different characters, the magic, and the nobility, or search therefore, in characters. But most of all, I found the sadistic Oba ruined the book for me. I read to be entertained, not to be sickened over and over again by a character who must kill and maim. Yes, there has to be an evil element for good to fight against, but this went beyond what was necessary. And although I kept reading to find out why he had to be that way to help the story, I never found the reason. Next time, I won't instantly buy a new Goodkind book, I will wait and read some reviews. If this is the direction he is taking, I will go another.
