Summary: Goodkind entertains
Comment: I just started reading Terry Goodkind ("Sword of Truth" series) again. A few years back, I was reading the second book, Stone of Tears, but never finished it due to it seeming derivative of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time (it had Sisters of the Light, like Aes Sedai, and other similar things) and it being long - 997 pages). Well, I picked it up again and finished it. I tell you what, it was excellent (I was stupid for putting it down before). Goodkind keeps the plot moving and the action brisk. It doesn't have a series of long chapters (or books) where you get endless description, endless insignificant characters, and nothing happening, as is common in The Wheel of Time. In other words, Goodkind tells a story and entertains you with action, intrigue, fascinating creatures, spectacular magic, good characters that grow and evolve, philosophy, and satisfiying conclusions. Goodkind gets things going right away and doesn't bore you with excruciating, pointless, mindless drivel that's being used for profit producing filler, like is so common in the later books of The Wheel of Time. It's like night and day, comparing Jordan to Goodkind in terms of entertainment value. And it's not like Goodkind lacks in vivid description or quality detail. He just incorporates description and detail within the flow of the story in a graceful, entertaining fashion that enhances, not detracts from, the reader experience. So if you are looking for an entertaining, enriching read in the fantasy genre, I recommend Goodkind.

Summary: Wonderful!
Comment: I first read Wizard's First Rule in '96. I read the whole book in one sitting & immediately read The Stone of Tears. I'm an avid reader & sci-fi fantasy are my favorites. These two books have taken first place ever since & I've bought full size hardcovers of the entire series. Terry Goodkind has a wonderful way with the characters (Richard & Khalan) I can actually visualize each one & there entire journey. This is the battle of total good against total evil. Some parts even gave me chills. The love of each of there lives that nothing can destroy, but yet action adventure & tactics better than any movie.
Oh yeah, I just fell in love with Gratch!

Summary: Good Place to End the Series
Comment: If you are looking for a way to kill a few days reading an below par book then this is the one to get. This author does his best to drag out a book that should be no long than 400-500 pages into one almost 1000. He does so by repeating lines of characters over and over, adding in openings for future books, and constantly describing Richard and Kahlan's feelings for each other.
These books have the weakest plot line I have ever seen and left me with a bad taste in my mouth for wasting the 12hrs it took to read. The author seemed to focus more on side plots in order for him to write even more crappy books than on actually getting to the point and finishing this one.
Dont read these books. Instead look into George R.R. Martin or Robert Jordan.
