I have been burning through this series since my brother in law dragged to buy it about a month ago. I have been enthralled so far. This book has become a bit repetitive. I at this point know about Kahlan's power and how The Morth-Sith are not used to compassion and feelings. The author tends to tell us over and over again what each character has overcome. There were needless characters introduced with lots of details about absolutely nothing. The ending seemed a bit rushed for me as well. He takes 100 of pages to describe Anderith and a chapter to wrap up how Richard will over the chimes. I frankly needed more emotion when Richard discovered Kahlan had been hurt. This all being said it was a great continuation and does not discourage me in the least. I look forward to reading more about this epic battle for love and what is right. Highly recommended series and The next book is even better.Read full review

Very good book. Buy this especially if like Ayn Rand. The series has really progressed from the first few books and taken on a more philosophical tone. I first read this book when I was 13 or 14, and again now when I am 18, and it makes a world of difference. I wouldn't recommend it if you are young, since it deals with very complex issues and at times can be quite gory.
This is the fifth of the Sword of Truth series. For a fan of the sword and sorcery genre, it pretty much has it all. Each book in the series seems to get better. Although they all follow the genre's formula of having a seemingly insurmountable foe for the hero, he ultimately triumphs so he can go on to the next book. Goodkind's character development and story line seem to improve with each offering.
I love this series. It is full of action, love, suspence and wonderful writing skill. Some people would not like it because it is fiction and has a lot of magic in it. I collected the whole series and am on my second time of reading through it. Good against evil. To me it is a very good relaxing read.
