Spectre's Review
Read the review from Wizard's First Rule and you'll have what I say about this one. I still really like the book. Goodkind throws you into his interesting world, and leaves you there. This is a good series, but little differences between books. The only bad thing is the shortcut to the ending. He spends 950 pages telling a great story, and then 2 pages ending it. The transition there could be better.

Spectre's Rating
Great book, but getting old, here.
