Title: Did Terry ever have an original thought?
Review: With Wizard's First Rule Goodkind had a little promise. It was not realized in the sequel and it is all but gone in this, the third installment. The theme of rape running through all three novels is also quite disturbing, with the exception of the female lead, every woman in the novels has been in the past, or is presently being raped. It's a very powerful emotional device to throw around so casually. But this is all moot, the plot is trivial - stealing pieces from Jordan and Eddings - the characters are morons and worst of all Goodkind has lost all hope of ever growing as an author. Too many fans (aka book-buyers) are more than happy to read this recycled trash. Some people complain about Robert Jordan dragging out his novels, after you read this book -think to yourself, what actually happened that couldn't have been put in 50 pages
Is the review positive or negative?
