  <default_description>With Wizard's First Rule and seven subsequent masterpieces, Terry Goodkind has thrilled readers worldwide with the unique sweep of his storytelling. Now Goodkind returns with a new novel of Richard and Kahlan, the beginning of a sequence of three novels that will bring their epic story to its culmination.After being gravely injured in battle, Richard awakes to discover Kahlan missing. To his disbelief, no one remembers the woman he is frantically trying to find. Worse, no one believes that she really exists, or that he was ever married. Alone as never before, he must find the woman he loves more than life itself......if she is even still alive. If she was ever even real.</default_description>

    <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/19436653">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is the beginning of the end for the sword of truth series.  It picks up shortly after the events of the last book, with Richard waking up to find out that Kahlan is missing and that none of his companions remember her existence.  <br/><br/>I really enjoyed this book, though not as much a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4643489">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Goodkind sure knows how to spin a good yarn... if only he would stick to his storytelling and leave out the naive and idiotic philosophical ramblings.  At some point around book five somebody alerted him to the notion of Objectivism, and he's converted his series to be a mechanism for bad objectivis...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4484571">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Just when I started to wonder why I get sucked into these long series where books tend to get redundant, Chainfire kind of took me by surprise. I can't say it was my favorite book out of the series but it is a bit of a switch-up and was not another retelling of the same ol' plot that many books in t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63577862">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thought Terri Goodkind totally sucked at first (generally just terrible writing) but then I thought he came into his own and improved as a writer (horrific torture sequences aside), but then he devolved into pretentious philosophy mumbo-jumbo and turned Richard into a mouthpiece for his tedious ra...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13490508">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If you took away all the redundant sentences (I'm not talking about Richard's mannerisms that we've gotten used to, I mean the same sentence reworded on the same page), all the random arguing that does little but provide a vehicle for the same philosophy we've heard in the past 8 books...this book w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21469795">more...</a>]]></body>
