Summary: Very good book, with a few faults
Review: Once again Terry Goodkind just keeps adding more and more to the already brilliant series of the Sword of Truth. Although not as focused on magic as previous books, this title is a refreshing change from the previous books. A detailed view at the world of the Order is provided, making us able to understand it better. This story takes palce right after kahlan got assaulted in the last book, and takes us through her long and painful recovery.Certain characters come back, including Zedd, Adie, Verna, Warren, Ann, Richard Kahlan and Cara. Nathan the prophet doesnt come up, and neither does Gratch. I was very pleased with this book and would recomend it to any1 who read the previous 5 books, and is anxious to read the rest of the story of our hero. A few flaws include one mistake about the spell Nicci casted, towards the end of the book, the lack of Richard's growth in his magic, other than the discovery of the Wizard's Sixth rule, and once again, a book way too short leaving you begging for the rest of the story. (Unfortunately, it'll be another year before we get book 7. ) One regret? yes, certainly, the first 5 books focused on a specific threat of magic, to be coutnered by magic equally powerful and unknown. This book focuses more on moral issues, and enlightnement. Im not that fond of Jagang and the order, and wouldnt mind to see them disapear after the next book. Basically, GREAT BOOK! When can we expect the next one?

Summary: What is Goodkind thinking?
Review: The formerly charming SOT truth series, begun with Wizard's First Rule, has turned into a political platform for Terry Goodkind, and thereby degenerated into the category of Really Stupid Stuff. Along the way,in order to keep up the interest level of the thousands of fans who buy these books, he has increased the amount of gore and gratuitous violence. These plots no longer have a purpose; Goodkind has resorted to repeating the same old same old themes. Kahlan, who never has listened to Richard since the first book in this series, once again betrays him [this is not a spoiler; it happens in every Goodkind book] Richard, the most powerful person in the world, is once again captured and tortured. None of this makes sense to me, but the fact that capitalism is the underlying magic in this book puts it past the pale. I don't recommend this book. The series I once gave copies of to everyone I knew has lost its charm completely. No doubt the legion of loyal Goodkind fans will fawn over it, but as for me, I've had enough.

Summary: disappointed again
Review: It appears that this series is going the way of many fantasy series and that Mr Goodkind has once again made the fatal flaw of many a fantasy writer - it is important to finish a series before the series becomes boring. Having read all the books and been entertained by the earlier books I was disappointed by the content and the style of Faith of the Fallen. I think my feelings can be summed up a section which suggested that Richard and Kahlan had only met a year ago - it felt reading this book that we had suffered each minute with them. The book accurately reflects torture by a Mord Sith.

Summary: Wonderful book but very disappointing audio delivery
Review: A great follow up on the preceeding books of the series. The audio version however greatly diappoints in it's delivery. The excellence found in reader of the first two books and the fourth books are gone. It's as if the reader of this book did not listen to the prior audio versions at all to get a sense of the personalities and vocal traits of the characters. Zed has completely lost his thin and engaging voice and the way he seemed still full of life ,vitality and mischief are gone completely. He now sounds like some senior citizen who has lost most of his teeth and is about to suffer a stroke at any moment. Sister Verna sounds to have completely lost the strength of character she posesses and now sounds rather weak, helpless and somewhat whiney. I could go on and describe the disappointments I find in each character but I'll stop complaining here. Let me stress to any who have heard the audio versions of the prior books and who were impressed with them to brace themselves for this one, I am completely disappointed. I did not find it's delivery to be exciting or engaging at all. I was able to "wobble" to tape 15 and then gave up. I drive a lot and found that audiobooks help the long hours on the road easier to bear, but this time around it was sheer agony. I am now happily reading the book and am enjoying it fully but feel I wasted good money on the audiobook. Hopefully some else who has had the opportunity to listen to the audio can submit a review and let me know if you agree or disagree with my review. 4 stars for the book itself but a dismal 1 star for the audio delivery.

Summary: Faith of the Fallen (audio book)
Review: Excellent story. Terry Goodkind is a wonderful author. The story will hold you spellbound in the end waiting in great anticipation, wanting to know the outcome. It is very imaginative. The reader does a good job, however, many of the voices are quite different than in previous books which is somewhat weird and hard to get used to.

Summary: Long Awaited - Disappointed
Review: I eagerly awaited this sequel. I really didn't expect a novel that left the relm of swords and sorcery into a long winded diatribe on failed Soviet style socialism. Out of 20 tapes in the unabridged version, 17 were boring! I expected the usual action that the other stories in this series excelled in.

Summary: A Classic
Review: It is difficult to compare this book to anything that I have read before. It stands out as a masterpiece, by far surpassing any of the other, excellent, books in this series. This book sets an example of how a series of books does not need to turn into an extended deluge of extraneous information that doesn't matter to the characters. The auther managed to deliver a deep plot with an interesting twist keeping me at the edge of my seat the entire time. With a real world element (or two) prominent throughout the entire story, it was easy to reconnect with the characters. I think that though this book does tackle some explosive political issues, anyone, regadless of their political viewpoint, would enjoy this tale of strength in the face of loss, and triumph against the worst that mankind has to offer!

Summary: simply awsome
Review: I have read all the other sword of truth books and none have been as good as this one. This book will have you reading nonstop until you finish. You will wounder where Goodkind gets his unmatchable plot that this book is centered around. If i could i would give this book a rating in its own class. I have read Eragon,Harry Potter, and countless other masterpices and non can compair to this book. It is simply marvelous.

Summary: Magnificent! One of the best so far.
Review: This chapter in the Sword of Truth series is perhaps the best because the story focuses on the Imperial Order. The Mistress of Death is featured, and the reader is treated to an in-depth background of this character. This background is essential in understanding the Imperial Order's motivations and how they see the world and their place in it.
Other readers have blasted Mr. Goodkind for overdoing the philosophy in this volume. I can see their points, however, this philosophy provides the important backdrop for the Order and does an excellent job of making them more real and alive. HOw many other "villains" do we get this much background on? Most of the time the author just says "they're evil" and that's it. With this book, the Order is explained and while Mr. Goodkind makes his opinions known (which is fine, it's his book) you are now given ample information to make your own decisions.
One of the things I like so much about this series is the no-nonsense way Mr. Goodkind lays out his thoughts about society and civilization. Giving intelligent people interesting and challenging things to think about is a wonderful reward to reading. If you want a lighter book that requires little invidivual thought, there are countless other authors to enjoy. (Which I do, also).
I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series!
