Terry Goodkind is just amazing! Although fantasy and centered in a world of make believe, he does an incredible job of telling a story which can be easily related to and even lost in. I can personally relate to the moral and emotional dilemma's faced by the main characters and Mr. Goodkind does an incredible job of showing how doing the "right" thing may not always be the right thing and how all our actions and reactions have far reaching and infinite effect. This is the last book written so far in the series and I do not suggest starting anywhere other than the beginning. So if you have not read any of his books before, take my advice and set this one aside for now and start with "Wizards First Rule". I was a little slow in getting into the story from the first book, but by the second one, I was hooked and there is no turning back. His next book in the series "Phantom" is due out in July and I have been going absolutely insane since late last year awaiting its arrival. Incredible author, incredible story, what else is there to say?Read full review
I love this series. I picked it up as a curiosity, but fell in love with the premise. A woods guide is actually a war wizard hidden away from his tyrannical father, his long-time fried is actually his grandfather and First Wizard - intrigue, sorcery, romance, adventure - hard to know how to categorize this series. In this installment, Richard awakens mortally injured, only to find that no one remembers his wife, Khalan. This book chronicles his desperate attempts to convince everyone that he has not gone insane, and has not dreamed her while pon death's doorstep. The characters of Nicci and Cara are central in this book, although I did not like Cara directing Nicci to become romantically involved with Richard - I found that to be out of character for a Mord-Sith, even a reformed one. Overall, the pace, writing and dramatic appeal of this book kept me riveted. I have consistently found all the characters to be engaging, charismatic and realistic. Upon finishing this book, I was anxiously waiting to find out what happened in the next book, "Phantom." And I hope the series continues - it's an excellent read! -snoopy071Read full review
This book is an excellent part of the series that I have been eagerly awaiting. The whole scheme of the series is to impart to the reader as sense of their own self worth, and to instill self-motivation. It also imparts a derisive look at people who have no value to themselves and don't care about the fellow man. Richard & Kahlan Rahl go through life, understanding that their decisions and actions ultimately compound the effects of all others. This series looks at the oppression of people, government, etc, as an influence on the livelyhood as a whole. Terry Goodkind is a great writer and uses his talent very effectively. I have already read this book, I am buying it for my collection.
With Naked Empire slightly disapointing to fans, Chainfire is rich with adventure and suspense! With the ending near with book one of three in the conclusion of the sword of truth series; you will not be disapointed! The suspens killed me reading this book, I really couldn't put it down! I really can't wait for the next book, to come out so i can see what will happen!
Totally awesome.
