Another victory for one of our best fantasy authors..., Faith of the Fallen is bathed in both sentiment and excitement, and I mean both terms in their most positive light. Terry Goodkind never fails to weave a good tail, and the way he built this story around the beauty and power of art and sculpture is just further proof that he wields more tools and weapons of the writing trade than many of us even knew existed. If you, like me, yearn for Richard and Kahlan to continue growing while meeting challenges that would cause most heroes to shy away, you will not be disappointed. By the way, Nicci is back, and you're certain to love her and hate her even more before this novel is done. Definitely an enjoyable investment of time.The Santa Shop
