DESCRIPTION:
Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. Richard, Lord Rahl, ruler of D'Hara, seeker and bearer of the Sword of Truth, is sorely wounded in battle. Distracted by Kahlan's disappearance, Richard refuses to lead troops against Jagang's forces, insisting his people must stand up for themselves. The story opens promisingly enough.

He clutched the arm of the woman beside him, desperate to get them to stop, to get them to listen. That's how he felt now - alone.. It was all he could do to try to pull each crucial breath. Richard observed the storm of activity swirling around him with an odd sense of detachment. He remembered hearing it once said that when you died, no matter how many people were with you, you died alone. They tried to be as gentle as possible, but they never dared to slow. 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.

It's a bit like the Illiad ("Just one damned thing after another").

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. said Good 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.
