Having accepted the fact that this series is basically a ripoff of Jordan's "Wheel of Time", I had more patience with the characters' annoying qualities in this 3rd book. I do like how each book picks up almost immediately after the previous book's ending so there aren't any passages catching the reader up on what had happened in between. The Blood of the Fold were certainly patterned after the Children of the Light but I found the conclusion of their leader in this book very satisfying. ( )

A good book. Towards the end, either I skipped something or the author jumps around and I understood what was going on, but nothing was explained. ( )

Even better than book 2! And the narrator of this book is much better than the person who did book 2. Lots of character development. I got a true surprise in chapter 28 of the audio book. That doesn't happen often. Like book 2, the three main characters spend a lot of time separated from each other, but it works well. The writing continues to be very good. This is a series i find myself looking forward to every time i have a few minutes to listen to it. Even though the books are long, it never becomes the drudgery like the Wheel of Time books so often did. ( )

I was very disappointed with this one. The group the Blood of the Fold did not interest me at all. The only interesting thing was the introduction of Emperor Jagang. ( )

Book description
Richard ha deciso di raggiungere l’amata Kahlan, regina della Galea, che sta tornando verso Ebinissia con l’intenzione di ricostruirla per poi governare la sua nuova patria. I piani di Richard vengono però sconvolti dall’entrata in scena di due temibili nemici, alleati tra loro: si tratta dell’Ordine Imperiale, l’esercito guidato dal misterioso Jagang, che vuole sottomettere il mondo intero, e della Stirpe dei Fedeli condotta dal generale Tobias Brogan, un uomo che odia la magia al punto di volerla estirpare per sempre, poiché la considera il mezzo con il quale il Guardiano del mondo sotterraneo influenza il mondo dei vivi…

La Spada della Verità è uno dei cicli fantasy piú amati e seguiti nel mondo. Questo terzo volume de La Spada della Verità raccoglie i romanzi La Stirpe dei Fedeli e L’Ordine Imperiale, continuando l’entusiasmante epopea di Richard e Khalan nella loro lotta contro il potere fatale e irresistibile del male.

«Un’opera fantasy fenomenale, di grande inventiva, che rivela senza ombra di dubbio uno dei maestri di questo genere letterario.»
Piers Anthony
