Summary: A Good Pick
Review: Terry Goodkind did a good job with this book. He devolps the new charactors well, but I don't think that he had enough of the new charactors. When he talked about the wizards keep they did not talk about many of the wizards. he did a good job with the addition of the death spell. It could be longer though. He did not spend much time talking about Zedds child in the beginning.

Summary: Not a novel novella
Review: Terry Goodkind has become well-known amongst fantasy fans for his epic "Sword of Truth" series. Now, with "Debt of Bones", he revisits the world of his creation with a tale of old history.This is a story about Zedd, the First Wizard of the Midlands. Readers of Goodkind's books will know some of the events that took place when Zedd's wife was killed and his daughter's life also at stake; now the story is revealed in detail. Grieving, bitter and disillusioned, Zedd closets himself from the world and its troubles. It takes a courageous young woman with a desperate need of her own to reach him and convince him to help her. The events that follow will change the world and shape the course of history. Although I enjoyed reading this book- Goodkind's skill at weaving a convincing, enthralling story is as obvious as ever- I was somewhat disappointed with it. The book is quite short, more a novella than a novel, and is largely a reworking of a story by the same title that was previously published as part of an anthology, "Legends". Excellent novels can sometimes be produced in a similar manner, and many classic books (especially of the sci-fi genre) had their start as a short story. However, I feel that in this case, little has been added to the original in terms of quality or quantity. In summary: I will always read Goodkind's books, but this one wasn't as worthwhile as I have come to expect. 7 stars out of 10

Summary: Not nearly as good as the others.
Review: The rating is a bit harsh, as it actually deserves a 2 1/2, but I`m comparing it to the other books, which would have been going at a steady four. The massive Sword of Truth books aroused great expectations of Debt of Bones, which I think have not been fulfilled. The book is short)in comparison with 400 page up books) and the storyline is weak. Fine, people want to know about Zedd and his life, but not really like this. Pieces of his story hidden in each book would have created a better effect. As it is this book contains no mention of the main characters of the series whatsoever, and is quite dissapointing.

Summary: Would have been nice in a magazine
Review: The story is great, but I don't normally expect 113 pages when I purchase a hardcover, especially from Terry Goodkind. It took me under an hour to finish the book, which certainly wasn't the most cost-effective way to fill an hour. I don't feel better for having read it, or feel in any way better fulfilled. I just feel like I need to find space for another hardcover. If you love everything that T.G. has written, this is OK to add to your collection. If you just want something epic, or a good way to spend an hour, find something else.

Summary: So much potential
Review: The Sword of Truth series of books is one of my favorite fantasy sagas. I bought this novel to tide me over between the last installment. Frankly I didn't expect much and that's what I got. Boring. It didn't have any real spark to it. I think Terry Goodkind whipped this sucker out in a weekend of boredom and disappointed me (and others) with a lackluster flop. I hope the next Sword of Truth book will be back on track; it is a great series. I highly reccomend.

Summary: Too short and not enough story
Review: This book seemed written as if Terry Goodkind just wanted to rush through it and was writing it only because he was forced. I have read it and books 1-4 and am now on number 5. I love the series, wonderful in depth character development, suspence, details, incredible plots. This book however is not worth buying. If you have to read it, borrow it from someone or check it out from a library. Stick with books 1-7, though 7 does not have Kahlan and Richard in it for the most part.

Summary: Good Story - Much too short
Review: This book was good but a lot more could have been done withi it- he could have made it into a 700 page novel if he wanted to- i know that the book is from legends a collection of short stories but he could hve taken it and expanded it into a really good and long prequel... but still a very good book- buy it when it is out in soft back though
