Advantages: Fast Pace, Keeps You Guessing

Disadvantages: None

This is the forth book in the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. It follows on from where we left the story in Blood of the Fold. This book came out back in September 1997 and was instantly hugely popular. By now Terry Goodkind had his readers hooked and they were all waiting for this to come out so they could continue the story.

One of the things I like about these book are the fact that in everyone we get a new 'Wizards Rule'. The first book was actually called 'Wizards first rule' and since then at some random point in the book Richard learns a new rule. So in this book he gets Wizards forth rule, I won't tell you what it is, you will have to read the book!

The story continues with Jagand, the Emperor of the Imperial Army from the Old World bringing about a forked prophecy. This means that it invloves both Richard and Kahlan the two main characters. Jagang also uses his powerful Sisters of the Dark to go to the Temple of winds to unleash a terrible plague on the world. To counter this Richard finds he has to make some very difficult discisions that will cost him in his relationship with the Mother Confessor and his love Kahlan.

Again there are plenty of new characters that come into this story. I like the way Goodkind is not scared to kill of some of the big players in the story. He replaces them with equally loveable characters that we soon find ourselves attached to.

The story moves at a great pace, there is always plenty to keep you on your toes and the story twists and turns here there and everywhere. It's not to predictable either which is always a good thing.

The way Goodkind describes the action in the book is excellent. It can at times be very graphic and sometimes to graphic to be honest, but despite that he has a brialliant way of making you feel like you are there in the story experiencing the things that the characters are!

I think this is probably my second favorite book of the series. The first one is by far the best but this one does come close. You really are unsure how the heros are going to come out on top in this book, so it really keeps you reading at a pace!

Overall this is a great book. Everyone who likes fantasy will be into this book, you need to have read the other three to understand what is going on to be honest, but even so, in it's own right this is a wonderful read. Another real belter from Terry Goodkind. Make sure you read this one!

Summary: Another Great Book
