Terry Goodkind is my favourite author of fantasy novels and every single book I have read of his has been absolutely brilliant so I am reading them all over again.

After Wizards First Rule I expected a disappointing sequel. Despite the problems with the first book I found it one of the most enjoyable books I have read in quite some time and couldn't see how the sequel could compare to it.

Stone of Tears is the second book in the epic Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. This book came out way back in 1996 and followed the massive success of Wizards First Rule which was the first book in the series. This book picks up where the previous one left off. Darken Rahl has been defeated and Richard and Kahlan head back to the Mud people's village to get married. However they find that three sisters of the light are after Richard, planning on taking him back to the Old World to train Richard in the use of his gift. Richard is now the pawn of prophecy and he is at the mercy of it! His life is suddenly very complicated and Richard finds he has ... Read the complete review
