  <default_description>Beginning with Wizard's First Rule and continuing with six subsequent fantasy masterpieces, Terry Goodkind has thrilled and awed millions of readers worldwide. Now Goodkind returns with a broad-canvas adventure of epic intrigue, violent conflict, and terrifying peril for the beautiful Kahlan Amnell and her husband, the heroic Richard Rahl, the Sword of Truth.Richard Rahl has been poisoned. Saving an empire from annihilation is the price of the antidote. With the shadow of death looming near, the empire crumbling before the invading hordes, and time running out, Richard is offered not only his own life but the salvation of a people, in exchange for delivering his wife, Kahlan, into bondage to the enemy.</default_description>

So good, in fact, that I have read the entire series three times in a row, back to back, non-stop. This series is *not* for children.

    <body><![CDATA[Well.. I did fast forward through some of the 'repetitive' speeches... but I like how Richard is learning the truth of what he preaches...  it makes it more personal...  Freedom... individual rights...  individual's responsibilities...  to think for yourself and act accordingly... but how does it me...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72597401">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is like &quot;Faith of the Fallen&quot; with the pace and excitement level of &quot;Soul of the Fire&quot; (that's to say, it's boring).<br/><br/>Every second paragraph is recapping previous events - whether it be from the previous 7 books, or just a dozen chapters ago.

    <body><![CDATA[I don't remember much of this one, but I do remember that I liked it. Part of me seems to remember that it was more of a filler for the series and that it didn't really get into the meat of the story... well just a bit of it, but not enough to really be all that great. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ok, this book is not on par with the likes of Stone of Tears or Temple of the Winds, but its not Pillars of Creation. <br/><br/>It's kinda an independent, episodic book in the series with Richard being poisoned and dealing with the Slide more so than Jagang. ]]></body>
