Summary: Great Sequel
Review: I must admit that I am a huge fan of Terry Goodkind now. This book is not only a great sequel of the first, but after reading Stone of Tears I feel that it and Wizards First Rule go together perfectly. If you have read WFR, you must read this one because SOT complements it so much. I must admit that while I feel that SOT wasn't as good as the first, it is still great. The only complaints I have is that the ending did seem a bit too rushed. Sorry, but that is the only reason this book got a 4.

Summary: Utter Trash!
Review: I cannot believe the reviews of this trash that I am reading. This book, and series for that matter, is totally unoriginal, contrived, and poorly written. Richard just "happens" to take a pocketfull of black sand, which becomes central to the entire plot? Give me a break! He must defeat countless skilled warriors, so his sword just "happens" to bestow upon him the collective skill of all its wielders? This is not plotting, this is plodding. If you want quality fantasy, read Guy Gavriel Kay or J Daniel Keyes. Leave this trash to 12 year olds.

Rating:
Summary: great series
Review: Every book in this series so far has great. This is the best series I have ever read.

Rating:
Summary: A great sequel to a great novel
Review: Sequel to Wizard's First Rule, this book is equal in strength and effectiveness of its predecesser. All of its more than 900 pages are packed full of adventure and drama, the story becoming more and more impossible, but somehow works out. An excellent book that everyone should read. I would definetly recommend reading Goodkind's first book (Wizard's First Rule). Although it isn't necessary, it makes the story much more enjoyable.

Rating:
Summary: Great Story
Review: I really enjoyed this book. The further I got into the book, the harder it was to put down. The ending was great in that it gave you a sense of completion even though we know there are books to follow. I'm listening to TEMPLE OF THE WINDS on audio and I'm anxious for the next book.

Summary: Well, it wasnt horrible..
Review: I've read alot of fantasy. Just wanted to state that before anything. I've read the first two books now in Goodkind's series, and I have to say that it's been ok. Stone of Tears was a good book, but, it wasnt warranted all this attention. The Similiarities between Jordan and Goodkind work is staggering, but, I am not a huge fan of Jordan, so, it never bothered me. There isnt any specific that I didnt dislike about this book, besides the obvious and over drawn mooning that Kahlan and Richard do. Also, I wasnt overly fond of the graphic rape scenes.. But, over all, this book was fine, it just didnt make me go "Wow, what a great book."

Summary: rousing fantasy with wonderful caracters
Review: Terry Goodkind is undoubtably one of the best new authors to come about in the past couple of years. while people may rant and rave about Robert Jordan; Goodkind's stories strike me as infinitely better. Goodkind writes as an author should write, to keep people turning pages for the story, for "what's going to happen next?", rather than to labour through yet anouther 900+ page book. With dazzling (if graphic) descriptions, Goodkind has a masterful command of the language, which he uses to full effect in this and his other books. When I think of Terry Goodkind, I do not place him with Robert Jordan; rather, on my bookshelf, he goes between "Lord of the Rings" and the "Fionavar Tapestry." Kudos, Mr. Goodkind, and keep it up.

Summary: Hmm, what does this book remind you of?
Review: Well, I really did like this book. However, it seemed to mirror another author that I also greatly admire. I am happy to say that he gets back to some more original writing in later books.

Summary: Like Non Other - Better then the First!!!
Review: This Book is very enjoyable. It starts off from where it left off (after 2weeks) and the love of Richand and Kahlan is more intimate. The book is well paced. The dialoge is far better and you feel each charecter as if you know them all your life, I almost cried at the end of the book. Lke the last book it is realistic,if you want a good book to read then I suggest you get this book. But in order to really enjoy it I suggest you get Wizards First Rule andread that first. Now if you will excuse me. I am going to start reading the Blood Of the Fold. Hope it will be good...
