DESCRIPTION:
That's how he felt now - alone.. Even so, he had a bigger worry. Richard struggled to put voice to his burning concern, but he couldn’t form the words, couldn’t get out any more than a gasping moan. She misunderstood and instead urged the men carrying him to hurry, even though they already panted with the effort of bearing him over the rocky ground in the deep shade among the towering pines. Only the pain seemed real. He knew that he knew them, but right then it just didn’t seem to matter. He remembered hearing it once said that when you died, no matter how many people were with you, you died alone. “How much of this blood is his?” “Most of it, I’m afraid,” a second woman said as they both rushed along beside him. He clutched the arm of the woman beside him, desperate to get them to stop, to get them to listen. The crushing pain in the left side of his chest and his need for air had him at the ragged edge of panic. Richard observed the storm of activity swirling around him with an odd sense of detachment. They tried to be as gentle as possible, but they never dared to slow. As Richard fought to focus hi

"I can't disagree with any of the critics of this book" according to Glenn Corbett. Other than the complaints brought up didn't bother me as much as it did others. He is preachy but for some reason his preachiness dosn't bother me nearly as much as Jordan's constant male bashing,or three page descriptions of rooms never to be seen again and ponytail tugging. The plot is sluggish but again, did you read any of Jordan's middle and later books or George Martin's last two? This plot flies by in comparison. What really annoyed me no end is him spending pages hammering an idea or concept into your head over and over again until you had no. "Continued New and Interesting Plot Elements, Same Unfortunate Style" according to Amazon Customer. The plot elements are fairly interesting. It's a bit like the Illiad ("Just one damned thing after another"). There is still a lot of faux-libertarian/monarchist ranting, which we have learned simply to skip (this really, really helps), and the hyperbole continues to be a problem. The grammar problems continue apace in contrafactual-conditional constructions. Large sections are thoroughly over-written, with hyperbolic descriptive passages going on for page after page after page (much of it repetitive -sorry, couldn't resist) for a scene that can real. Steve97Good and necessary/important to the story line, but less exciting than the others of this series so far. I hate to give this book only three stars. It is an important part of the series, and it isn't even bad, but it has a slower feel than the other books so far. It is a very good setup for the next two book in the sub-series within the Sword of Truth series. Really, anything in this series is better than most other books, but my review of three stars is meant to be interpreted as a rating of the books within the series, and not an indication of the overall quality of the book itself. I understand that might not be completely fair, but Goodkind sets the. said Good and necessary/important to the story line, but less exciting than the others of this series so far..
