Rating: Summary: Perfection-continued! Review: This book is just wonderful. As were the others. I feel that some of the people that review these books should actualy READ what they wrote and see if they could be just a BIT more suportive of a fairly new writer. His works (all) are stuning and wonderful and I will continue supporting this author despite what others think. I have read many books in this genre and can recognize that this IS an acceptional work, as were the rest in the series. I will conclude by stating that the people that can only see the bad in a book did not truly read It
Rating: Summary: It is great Review: This book is the Bomb!!!!! It about the imperial order tring to take over the world, and it's up to Richard and his beloved Khan(she's hot!!!) to save it. Read this, you'll love it.
Rating: Summary: A most excellent book...a great beginning to the series Review: After reading this book I couldn't wait to get my hands on the rest of the series. Terry really did an excellent job of building the story and developing the charaters. Also his discriptions of the land in which the story takes place makes you feel like you are there with the charaters.
Rating: Summary: Back on top again Review: Great book!!! Not too much detail like the second book. Great storyline. Really focuses on prophecies and talks about the origins of the Gars and Mrisiths. Where's Zedd?? He's never around when you need him. Is he still a wizard of the first order? Love what happens at the last page. Cant wait till I have time to read the fourth book. Pick up the entire series
Rating: Summary: The Right Recipe for Fantasy Review: Goodkind fans are once again treated to an entertaining story from the author of "Wizard's First Rule". Like the second book in the Sword of Truth series, "Blood of the Fold" picks up where the previous book leaves off and delivers the same successful mix of action, character development, intrigue, surprise, and insight into who we are and what we value. Probably the best thing to say about this book is it's really, REALLY as good as the first two in the series. While one might be inclined to criticise Goodkind for seemingly copying from Robert Jordon, I feel compelled to point out that while I RAVED about "Wheel of Time" I also have completely given up on the series. I can't stay interested anymore - I don't really care what happens to Rand. You won't find yourself wading through the mud in the Sword of Truth series because the events, the action, and the mystery just keep unfolding! And it looks as though Goodkind has the skill to continue to spin stories off of Sword of Truth with as much entertainment as "Wizard's First Rule". Yes, this book belongs right up there on the shelf with Jordon's "Wheel of Time" and Donaldson's "Lord Foul's Bane" and Eddings' "Belgariad/Pawn" and Wiliams' "Dragonbone Chair" BUT WAIT, SURPRISE, it also shares the top shelf with the first TWO books already penned in the Sword of Truth World! Hey fantasy fans - enjoy! This series is one to read. It delivers. You won't be bored!
Rating: Summary: Some comparisons of tSoT and tWoT Review: First of all, I do understand that there is bound to be some similarites in a field where all plots are basically the same, but Goodkind are carrying it to the extremes. It's not just the main things, like the _very_ common "simple boy turns out to be great hero with great destiny" thread, and the fact that I wouldn't even notice if, by some misstake, TG would write Aes Sedai instead of Sister of the Light/Dark. For example, did the "original" Mord-Siths ever put you in mind of some Seanchan ladies called Sul'dam (you know--holding magicians against their will, "training" them while inflicting as much pain as possible, etc.)? And while on the subject of Jordan's Sul'dam, I do believe that the Sisters of Light use a device to controll wizards that is described as a silver collar without any apparent clasp and that can be used to inflict pain. Sounds very familiar to me... For some reason I keep thinking of the silver-coloured collar known as the a'dam that is used to break and control damane, and which only Sul'dam know how to open. As to the Mord-Siths current function, Richard Rahl isn't the only one with a group of devoted, teasing, and dangerous women to guard him. The Aiel Maidens of the Spear seems to have a strong recemblance of them. And this is only the beginning of a list that becomes _very_ long after a while. Had we really lived in a fantasy world one could have blamed it on some ta'veren-like person living very close to TG, but as it is it seems very strange. Don't take me wrong, TSoT is still a good series, but these "coinsidences" are getting a bit annoying.
Rating: Summary: Great content, an integral section of the Sword of Truth ser Review: This book is action packed and at the same time gives an in depth report of Kahlin's homeland. The only fault that I could find in the book is that it was too short. This is justified because it is a story inside the series and could not be made larger without rambling. I eagerly await the next installment.
Rating: Summary: Chillin' out book. Review: How can you not like this book? It just rocks. Plain and simple. Since Kahlan is the most rockin' character, though, I didn't give it a ten. She needs to be in it a whole bunch more. It also needs to be longer like his previous books. Other than that, this book is just rockin'. Just chill out and read it.
Rating: Summary: Goodkind is tops! Review: I have been reading fantasy since the fifth grade with Andre Norton's "Outside." I have enjoied authors such as Andre Norton, Tolkin and Stephen R. Donaldson. Since reading "Wizard's First Rule" and the following novels in Goodkind's Sword of Truth Series I have come to put him and his novels up there with some of the greats. Goodkind has an eye for detail, romance, friendship, honor and even bloody gore! In a strange sick way I love the combination of all of that. Not only is Richard an honorable hero, but so is the brave and intelligent Kahlen. I love it when the women kick butt too! The only reason I dislike picking up a Goodkind novel is because at some point it will have to end. These stories excite and fancinate me. Keep them coming Terry!
Rating: Summary: The best books I've ever read Review: The sword of truth is the most creative and imaginative books I've found yet! You can't stop reading them
