None.  Eilantha_Le_Fay | Mar 17, 2013 |  This is a book back from when I still loved this series. Yes, I could nitpick. I'm rather with the reviewer who was sick of how something always seemed to come between Richard and Kahlan whenever they were on the verge of getting together. How long can you stretch that out? Well, how about nearly the entire series? And yes, I thought this got off to a fairly slow start, and unlike the two (even longer!) earlier books that somehow managed to feel light on their feet, rather padded. But yes, I still liked this one--a lot. The secondary characters make this series. I really like Zedd, Nathan, Cara--and they're prominent in this installment which made me happy. And I do like the imaginative way Goodkind used magic. I should warn, I have read the series to the end, and ultimately wasn't happy with it. I think it jumped the shark in the seventh book, and many would point to the fifth book as when things started to go wrong. But Blood of the Fold was a fun and entertaining adventure. (  ) LisaMaria_C | Oct 17, 2012 | This third installment of the Sword of truth series is as good as the second (Stone of tears), which was great. I have heard that because of the length of this series (12 books) the excitement, and probably the readers interest, begins to fade towards the end, but there is no sign of that happening yet. ( ) clstaff | Sep 11, 2012 | If you haven't figured out by now I absolutely love this series. I love the world, the characters, the fact that 'heroes' make mistakes and 'villains' have compassionate moments. The characters here are very human, very relatable. There is good and evil in everyone and our heroes here are no exception. This is a re-read and I'm am sure I will be reread the series yet again in a few years. :) (  ) Kassilem | May 10, 2012 | See review of Goodkind's "Wizards First Rule" for a review of the series.

War and treachery plague the world, and only Richard and Kahlan can save it from an armageddon of unimaginable savagery and destruction.

Instead of wasting time on describing all the action that leads to a certain end, this time Terry Goodkind jumps to the end itself, leaving us with a feeling that something is missing but that we actually don’t care about it.
Sometimes the dialogues seem misplaced though, as the characters have deep philosophical conversations at innapropriate times. But I guess Terry Goodkind often aims to discuss morality and even politics, exposing his points of view through the «mouths» of his characters. For instance, in this book he exposes «Richard’s» point of view on homosexuality. (
