Advantages: Fast Pace, Great Characters

Disadvantages: None really

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 some big choices to make!

This story is great, it moves which such a good pace, there are loads of excellent new characters that add to the story. Terry Goodkind makes his own fantasy world come alive for the reader. There are so many twists and turns and the story constantly keeps you guessing.

I don't think I enjoyed this book quite as much as the first (Wizard's first rule), but this is still an excellent follow up to the first book. It's one of those stories that you don't want to put down, if you get through this book you will be begging for the next in the series.

Terry Goodkind has an excellent way of writing that really draws the reader into the story. This is a great fantasy story in the same mold as other great writers, and if your into your fantasy I can safely say you will enjoy this book!

I really like this book and thing its one of the better ones from the series. There is so much to enjoy and as sure you will enjoy it. Go get yourself a copy. But make sure you read Wizards first rule first, otherwise you will struggle to work out what is going on. Curl up and enjoy this one!

Summary: Another brilliant offering
