Some of the points in the story seem a bit dull and hard to get through but it seemed to be worh it. I enjoyed the fact that Richard is able to help people no matter where he is and what he is doing. It was really exciting and really enjoyable, I would recommend this book to anyone. andrewt93 | May 7, 2009 |   I actually think this is the best book of the entire series. By this time, Goodkind has now established a pattern in the books. It is no long so much about Richard and Kahlan directly killing their opponents, as it was in the previous books, but it is now about them setting an example and being a catalyst. I know some people felt like this book did not advance the story enough. Quite a bit happens, and it is important to the story, but this book is about how the characters establish once and for all the righteousness of their cause. By exposing the Order as evil tyrants, enslaving everyone who follows them, they show to others that they have to lead themselves out of tyranny. (  )Karlstar | Jan 25, 2009 | Book 6 of the Sword of Truth series was finished a few weeks ago but just now getting around to posting the review. I feel this is one of the better books up to this point in the series. There is not a lot of the typical sword and sorcery you might expect from a fantasy novel, but this books focuses more on the deeper development of Richard and his growth as a leader despite his circumstances. People just naturally gravitate to him as a leader. I really enjoyed this fascinating character development. Moves the story sufficiently forward, though at this point, I’m not sure where we’re really heading. (  )harpua | Aug 27, 2008 | pretty disappointing; I skipped one third of everlasting and dragging war scenes, one third went to a rather boring story of "true love", and one third seemed to consist of all elements found mainly in Jordan's Wheel of Time - I sometimes thought being in the wrong novel - but also some of Eddings (e.g. Zedd vide Belgarath) or even bad copies of Tolkien? Good I bought the book on a book sale :-)! (  )bookswamp | Mar 2, 2008 | I enjoyed this one simply on the basis of its blatant Objectivist slant, although Goodkind is as ham-handed with forcing into our brains as Ayn Rand was accused of. I continue finding it odd that Objectivism suddenly begins ruling the series from this point forward, when there was little or no hint of it prior.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0312867867, Hardcover)Fantasy series fans may argue over the relative merits of Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth, George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire, and Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, but in a world of middle books that go nowhere and endless waits between episodes, Goodkind is certainly still serving up some of the best fantasy on today's menu.The Seeker of Truth and his Mother Confessor sweetie are both looking a little worse for the wear after their chime-hunt in Soul of the Fire. To top that off, Lord Rahl finds himself a reluctant prophet with the vision that their cause, the fight for freedom against the Imperial Order, is essentially sunk. (Chalk that up to part of the Wizard's First Rule: people really are stupid.) The two lovers soon find themselves separated, Richard off to the Old World thanks to treacherous Sister of the Dark Nicci, and Kahlan left behind, forced to betray Richard and his prophecy by raising an army to fend off the approaching armies of Emperor Jagang. Whether it's fair or not, Goodkind will likely get beaten up a bit for visiting the trough once too often, à la Jordan. But fear not: Faith of the Fallen does progress at a good clip, and its conclusion--while by no means a final payout--should satisfy. --Paul Hughes (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:22 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
