Stone of Tears (Sword of Truth, Book 2)

Rating:
Summary: Blech!!!
Review: Disgusting. This is a total-ripoff of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, which wasn't that great in the first place. Sisters of the Light? Try Aes Sedai, or Children of the Light? What about Sisters of the Dark? Black Aes Sedai, as another reviewer pointed out. Chase is pretty much the warder Lan, and Moraine Sedai is none other than our very own Kahlan Amnell! Sure, I liked Richard in this book, but I thought he was just as good when he was Rand's "father", Tam. Not worth the time or money. Don't read unless you're borrowing it from a friend and you plan on burning it. Even Ba'alzamon was a better force of evil than the Keeper!

Summary: They publish books that are this bad?
Review: This book was horrible. I'd say it's even worse than the first book, but that's pointless. Goodkind doesn't have a single original thing in this book-- characters, plot twists, bad guys. The violence is just too much to be believed, the writing is the worst I've ever read, and the plot... well, that is even worse than his previous novel. I'm still hitting myself over the head for making myself READ this.

Summary: Goodkind scores again
Review: It's back to back home runs for Terry Goodkind! This book, like the first, is just fantastic. He has some wonderful characters and a great storyline to start off with, and develops both nicely throughout.

Rating:
Summary: The intense, heroic adventure continues!!
Review: After reading the First book in few days, I knew I would be entranced by his sequel. I could never put the book down. There is never a low point in the book. If you plan on getting some sleep than don't read this becuase you are never going to stop reading it until you have it finished.

Summary: The Best Book in Existance!
Review: This is the best book I have ever read. It makes me very sad that some people don't like it. Goodkind is the most amazing author, providing the perfect mix of action and drama. I am an amateur writer, and trust me, this is very hard to accomplish. I have read the Lord of the Rings, and it does not do this nearly as well as the Sword of Truth. Bravo, Goodkind!

Summary: A great read!!!
Review: You can not put this book down. I can't wait for more of his books come out. I loved it. If you know of a fifth book coming out, please e-mail me and tell me what you know.

Summary: A good follow-up to one of the best books I've read
Review: Stone of tears was an excellent book with only a few flaws. Goodkind keeps you wondering just what might happen next as well as trying to find the small clues which you just know have to be there. This book had an excellent beginning and wonderful end. The inbetween could have been better... especially since he told months of Zed's story in just a few pages... that could have been a whole book in itself! My favorite part though, was Richard's reaction to Kahlan's "death". Never before have I read such a vivid and amazing display of anger and magic. I would have died of a heart attack had I been in front of that man's wrath! I loved it!

Summary: Terry Goodkind knows how to write a novel!!!
Review: After I read "Wizards First Rule", I anticipated the sequel. It was a treat to read this book. From beginning to the end it was all action. The appearance of the screeling from the underworld starts the problems. While Richard's intentions were good, he mistakenly tears the veil to the underworld. The Keeper of the unerworld seeks to enter the world of the living. If that should happen, all is lost. Richard and Kahlan return to the mud people to get married, but the Sisters of the Light show up to take Richard to the old world to learn how to use his newly discovered gift. Kahlan, concerned for Richard, makes him go with the Sisters postponing their wedding. Richard goes on an adventure to seek a way to escape the Sisters of Light and Dark. Zedd finds Adie to help him decipher the prophecies. Kahlan helps to destroy the Imperial Army, when it backfires in her and she is to be executed. If I were to describe the whole book it would take me forever. But take my word for it, this is a great book. I look forward to reading the next book, "Blood of the Fold".

Summary: A Worthy Sequeal
Review: Stone of Tears is definitly a worthy sequal to Wizard's First Rule. The Fight with the screeling gets the pace set and it never slows down until the end. The Sisters of the Light were kinda shadowy but pretty cool. I thought the way Pasha died was pretty sad. This book is definitly worth reading if you've read Wizard's First Rule.

Summary: The series should never end!!!!!
Review: This book is da bom! When I read this sequel, I felt like my everyday life was plain boring and the life of Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell is LIFE!!! The most amazing part about the book was when Kahlan was ordering the army around. It is hard to imagine that women are treated the same way in the book as they were in the 50' and stuff. This book should get a prize or something better.
