Death that is poisoning them At this point an action scene ensues, as they are chased by an army of zombies that is able to track their every move because Occult Powers Get used to that explanation, Goodkind uses it to hand wave away just about everything that happens in the entire damn book Magic will not work against them because Occult Powers And so they are chased, fighting, running, ...Since

went on Honestly,life seems rather bleak right now,and I can t imagine how it can go on.My face is stained with tears and I can barely breathe.There are times that I feel empty inside and times I want to start sobbing in the middle of a conversation.Times that I cannot seperate reality from fiction and times I wonder when I ll stop drowning in sorrow.People around me tend to say that I am overly attached to fictional characters,that I always seem to be elsewhere and that this obsession with books is not healthy.Perhaps they are right,I don t know.The only thing I know is that Sword of Truth is part of who I am,part of my soul,that Richard is the hero who constantly in...I have been a fan of Terry Goodkind and Richard Rahl since the beginning of this series but I have to say that my patience for the long drawn out story telling is wearing thin I feel that Mr Goodkind repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats kind of annoying, huh his themes The book is WAY longer than it needs to be and it is unnecessarily drawn out I found myself asking the same question as Richard and Kahlan Why should I go on I I have been a fan of Terry Goodkind and Richard Rahl since the beginning of this series but I have to say that my patience for the long drawn out story telling is wearing thin I feel that...Painful This was the most emotionally painful Terry Goodkind book I have ever read And even though we were warned in advance, the deaths in Severed Souls just about killed me I can name on one hand the number of books that left me sobbing as if...I think any of Goodkind s book will be a great read anytime any day.Forced to give one star because of the book s occult power.I have to admit that I approached this book with mixed feelings Would I love it Or would I hate it Goodkind has always provoked heated debate In one corner are the rabid fans for whom he can do no wrong In the other corner are the disenchanted and scornful who have never understood why he became as successful as he did I tend to sit on the fence when it comes to Goodkind and his work At times I am blown away, and other times I am let down Severed Souls

For fans of the series that haven t read past Confessor, please stop there This latest Richard and Kahlan trilogy has done nothing but repeat past plot points without allowing the characters to use the knowledge they retained during those plot points The carefully constructed world of Additive and Subtractive magic is cast aside, as everything in this book falls under the deus ex machina of Occult Powers Remember how the world strives to remain in b This is one of Goodkind s worst works, yet For fans of the series that haven t read past Confessor, please stop there This latest Richard and Kahlan trilogy has done nothing but repe...I have to admit, I have been a lover of Goodkind s books since I picked the first one up several years ago, even of the not so great ones I generally don t write reviews, but gosh While this book started out pretty disappointing and tedious, and didn t really have any character development which has always been my favorite thing about the books, really feeling like you are getting to know who the characters are deep down it was still interesting enough to keep at it The last 1 3 of the book I have to admit, I have been a lover of Goodkind s books

enough to keep at it The last 1 3 of the book, however, is when it really started feeling like the Goodkind books I know and love Heart wrenching, breathtaking, dumbfounding plot twists and cliffhangers When I first saw the spoilers that Goodkind was revealing from the book about Richard s death, I couldn t believe it I still can t believe it I had to set the book aside and compose myself when I got to the hard parts There were times in the early books when I truly could not comprehend how those thin...After finishing this novel I m almost speechless Mr Goodkind does what no other storyteller can do He reaches into the heart and mind to deliver spellbinding, deeply emotional tales about the triumph of the human will and spirit His characters come not just figuratively, but literally off the page They re not just names on a page They become beloved friends and hated enemies As far as this reader is concerned when it comes to great storytellers there s Terry Gookind
