A plague has been unleashed that only Richard can stop. This is again a quick moving read. I found the elements about prophesy and the history of the world particularly interesting. ( )

I continue to make my way through a series which demands completion. The characters presented make all the difference; they inspire either complete loving adoration or, in some cases, disgusted ire. While at times the author becomes bogged down in inconsequential description of detail (do we really need to know from what stone every individual surface in the palace is constructed of?), the story flows in such a way that putting the book down becomes a test of will.
Beyond all this, Goodkind seems to have invoked in his writing a healthy mix of philosophical insight. For example... if saving the lives of everyone on the planet required the sacrifice of one live, would you willingly accept the death? The general opinion at this point in the argument is one of approval. What happens when the person to die becomes the one you hold most dear? Would the approval still hold? It is a rare person that can still say yes. Most of the questions presented in the books are not quite this dire in nature, but still increased my enjoyment in reading.
I am, however, a little floundered my the sheer number of editing errors residing between the pages which, at times, force a pause to consider what the attempted sentence is. Who exactly has been editing these books? Epic fail. ( )

again an awesome book. Well rounded characters, lots of action. ( )

after the 4th book it`s getting litte old, a lot of repetitons-wars, tortures- misunderstandings..... it seem the don`t get forward at all, but it`s still exciting to read ( )

A plague has broken out all around the New World killing hundreds of thousands. Richard Rahl has to find a place that no one has heard of before and must destroy the plague, but in the end it will destroy him. This book is very suspensful with the things Richard and Kahlan must do to save everyone and it gives a taste of what Richard is capable of doing with his gift. As with all of Goodkind's books, this book is a great book for fantasy lovers.
