Ratings and reviews

Not nearly as good as the previous Sword of Truth books. It's very frustrating and ridiculous to believe the character Jennsen could be so naive. I'm a huge Goodkind fan but this was a disappointment.

Probably the worst of the series to date, the book was long and I found it quite unexciting, you can see all the plot twists long before the end as long as you have read any of the other in the series. But the end was quite satisfying making it an ok read.

This is probably the only book by Terry Goodkind that I would give less than 4 stars too. After having read Stone of Tears, and Faith of the Fallen, this book was a drag on the series. Thankfully every other book in the set is amazing.
