( )The second in the Sword of the Truth series is not outstanding in any way, but there was more action than the first which made the pace better for me. The world is very detailed – I assume it gets only more so as the series goes on. While the undying love story does not dominate the story completely, it is over the top and produces some cringe-worthy dialog. Pre09: Has many of my favorite scenes from the series. I really thought the series started sucking after this book though. I'm not even going to list them here. This book is about Richard Rahl tearing the veil and him being unwilling taken to the Palace of Prophets where he is supposed to learn how to control his gift. This book is just as good as the first and everything is getting more complex than before. This book also has a good lesson about people: kindness and good intentions can be an insidious path to destruction. If you like fantasy then this is a good book for you to read. The author seems absolutely determined to just keep stacking the deck up against the good guys until it just gets ridiculous. He strives perhaps overly hard to make their quest seem absolutely hopeless in the hope that that will make their ultimate success that much more... moving, thrilling, what? Anyway, it does seem a little forced at times but I still enjoyed it. no reviews | add a review
