It is not that I dislike the book but I find the Character of Richard and Kahlan to be deficient. I read the whole of the series up to Souls of fire and I feel the gradual erosion of what I consider a good book. The background where the story takes place is not well defined and is made up as Terry Goodkinds go along. The main Characters are becoming artificial and archetypal and reading the 5th book of the series had me really annoyed.
does anyone really believe in that Jagang fellow being a threat? I mean he can't possess 2 person at the same time right or 3 person. Why don't 3 of those dark sisters gang up on him without linking their power? Sorry I can't see him as a believable villian. The fact seems that Terry Goodkinds strategy is to write scenarios of women ravished to make us feel outraged against the villians and it is becoming stale for me. The series also seems to have many loopholes in it.
Regarding the book I can't really say I hate it as I did indicate that i will get the book where Richard rahl croaks. God knows there are many worse books out there.
