    <body><![CDATA[I honestly could not to decide whether to rate this as 5-stars or 1-star. In the end, I decided to go with 5-stars for one very good reason.<br/><br/>When I started reading it, I got a feeling of exhilaration I get only when a book is so well written and the characters are so alive that it just GRABS me. I wanted to finish it as quickly as possible so I could see where it was going. I can only count a dozen books that have really grabbed me like that. The first 4 books in the Sword of the Truth series are included in that list.<br/><br/>Despite my disappointments with some of the plot points, the characters actions, and the argument about whether it's a sequel or not, it's still a VERY GOOD book and can be enjoyed by SoT fans and non-SoT fans alike. I realize that those disppointments are MINE to own and not the author's failure to write a good well, written and compelling story about a &quot;universe&quot; that I've come to love.<br/><br/><br/>]]></body>
