Summary: Disappointing
Review: This is a short story, not a novel or even a novella. Around 120 pages including several illustrations (nice but add nothing to the story). Supposedly this story is going to give us insight into Zed and Abby, but does neither, and in fact many of the incidents in the story do not match with history revealed in other books. An example of this is how the barriers between the worlds were erected (by Zed in this story, by all the wizards 3000 years ago in other books). The character development is shallow - necessarily for such a short story. Do not expect anything like the other books in the series, or you too will be very disappointed.

Summary: another one from Terry Goodkind
Review: This is not one of TG best but i may just be biased because it is so short - the longer the better, but Debt of Bones is Zeds story set just after his wife has died, he is feeling disillusioned with the world and sees no reason to help it. But buyers beware i must stress that this is basicly a reissue of a story (with only a few changes and a few pictures but there are no major changes to the plot) that was first published in an anthology called Legends.

Summary: Tyler A Fantasy Connosuire
Review: This Novelette is great! As always Goodkind uses his details to paint a picture in his mind. His foreshadowing techniques are flawless. This book depicts te last days of the war between the Midlands and D'Hara with Panis as the ruler. This is the creation of the boundries between the lands which play a semi-important role in Wizards First Rule. Zedd is as awesome as ever. if you ever read this Goodkind Please include My second favorite character, Chase, in an upcoming novel. I've been reading this series for six years and I have yet to tire of it. I am a senior at Piedra Vista High School and my only dream in life is to be half as good as my personal roel-model Terry Goodkind. 10/4/01

Summary: Not as good but OK...
Review: This Terry Goodkind Novel was not as interesting as the original Sword of Truth books but it wasn't bad!I am a freshman in high school and it took me 2 1/2 hrs to read; so it is not nearly as long as the others.I really liked it because it was a chance to get reunited with Zedd. we learn what happens before Richard is born and how the war with Panis Rahl and D'Hara ends. The boundaries are created and some new caracters are even introduced. I recommend this book to someone who has already read the sword of truth series or to someone who has a new interest.

Summary: Too short and throws off everything
Review: Very good story, to say the nice thing first. Extremely too short. And it added confusion as to what the actual timeline is for things. The boundary goes up, Richard couldn't possibly have been concieved yet, Zedd intends to throw up the second boundary in a year, and it just doesnt make any sense that way. Is there something I am missing? Something I have forgotten? Something that makes it possible for Richard's mother to get old enough to be abducted and concieve him, AFTER the boundaries are all up? It's not making any sense this way. Very disenchanting.

Summary: First Wizard Zedd is Awesome in this book.
Review: While the story is a bit shorter that his usual 700+ page books, it was facinating to learn about Zedd in his early years. To find out what a first wizard was responcible for and his role in bring up the barriers.

Summary: A great SHORT story telling of the rise of the boundaries
Review: While this book wasn't on the same level as the other books by Goodkind (meaning that its not an epic story of 700+ pgs) this short novella is still great. It tells a story that has desperately needed some clarification in relatively few pages. Zedd is a badass who cannot be stopped and the other characters in this one don't distract the reader from the main purpose of the story. I can understand how some fans could be disapointed, but you can't expect an epic tale about a time gone past and a story that you already know the outcome of. For anyone interested in Goodkind's Sword of Truth series, I would reccomend this book. It doesn't take much time (one day) and adds to the realism of Goodkind's world.
