  <default_description>As his beloved Kahlan lies close to death, Richard Rahl, who distrusts prophecy more than anyone, is confronted by a compelling vision - one that bears a terrible price. It would mean taking Kahlan away to safety while abandoning his people to a grim fate.

As savage hordes stand poised to invade their homeland, Richard and Kahlan's devotion, not only to each other but to their cause and their duty, is imperiled in the descending fury of war. Amid the turmoil, Nicci, a woman from Richard's past, haunted by her memory of him, makes a fateful decision. Despite Nicci's hunger to understand the source of Richard's indomitable will, her burning passion to destroy him commits to the unthinkable.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[My husband and I have both been addicted to the Sword of Truth series since my brother introduced it to us.  We're down to the last couple of books.  FYI- don't bother with the tv series &quot;based&quot; on the books.<br/><br/>This particular book makes you question the widely followed philosophy...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40080345">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Perhaps the best book in the series so far.  Once again, Goodkind deprives Richard of the Sword of Truth so that he can take him on a philosophical journey that avoids bloodshed and uber-powerful moments of rage.  In fact, Richard is rather laid back in this entire book.  This is justified by what h...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29567723">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Goodkind surprises me with the depth and force of the Objectivist, atheist arguments set forth in this story, as well as the powerful argument against faith and religion.<br/><br/>Richard tells us, <br/><br/>&quot;The first law of reason is that what exists, exists; what is, is and that from thi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26014809">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This series as a whole is very good. I found that once I picked up the first book I flew through the whole series, stopping only when I read the last one out. I then continued reading as they came out. When I started reading them their was only five books, now that the series is complete we can set ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19396558">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Terry Goodkind, Faith of the Fallen (Tor, 2000)<br/><br/>We are six books into the Sword of Truth series, and one fact has become undeniable. The farther along you are in the series, the more time Goodkind is going to spend reprising old stuff.

    <body><![CDATA[Holy shit, Atlas Shrugged light.<br/><br/>Goodkind really stresses the Objectivist ideals set out by Ayn Rand in many of her books, though he does it in a fantasy setting and in more straightforward (for the most part) terms.
