( )This book is about a sect of zealots who believe that magic is evil and so they are set to extinguish magic from everyone. Richard and Kahlan get swept up in all of the trouble. This book seems to be the start of something that will be a problem for Richard Rahl and all of his followers. It reveals abit more about Richard but at the same time more questions seem to pop up about him. This book is good for anyone who likes fantasy and mystery. I managed to read this and then promptly forget to update my list that I had read it for months. I think that says something. Blood of the Fold is the third in Goodkind's Sword of Truth series, and continues the epic struggle between good and evil, the magic and those who would destroy it. With all respect and affection, I must admit I have come to mistrust every word Terry Goodkind writes. He is adept at creating the seemingly hopeless situation, only to resolve it in an unexpected an creative way. To save myself the tension and stress, I have begun to trust that he always has a plan and that things will turn out all right in the end. Nevertheless, he still always manages to surprise me in every volume of the series. Very satisfying. Book 3 of the Sword of Truth series and I have to admit I am HAPPY I waited to pick up this series until the author finished it. The story of this book involves the Sisters of the Dark that escaped at the end of The Stone of Tears (book2) and a new threat to Richard and Kahlan; the dream walker. Enjoyable characters, evil villains, and terrific pacing kept me turning the pages until late at night. I am glad I already owned the next book. 0.054 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0752806661, Paperback)An Epic of Two Worlds In a world as rich and real as our own, Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell stand against the ancient forces which besiege the New World-- forces so terrible that when last they threatened, they could only be withstood by sealing off the Old World from whence they came. Now the barrier has been breached, and the New World is again beset by their evil power. War and treachery plague the world, and only Richard and Kahlan can save it from an armageddon of unimaginable savagery and destruction. Terry Goodkind, author of the brilliant bestsellers Wizard's First Rule and Stone of Tears, has created his most masterful epic yet, a sumptuous feast of magic and excitement replete with the wonders of his unique fantasy vision.
