Re: The Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind
Pillars of the Earth is definitely my least favorite book of the series. In my opinion it took away from the entire series. I think it could have been mingled into another book. On the other hand, I absolutely loved Debt of Bones, which is a bit of a history book of their world. But the first book will always be my favorite.
I am just starting the Omen Machine. I am excited to read more books from this world.

I really liked the first book because it portrayed Richard more as a normal humain being and less overpowerd. He needed to use logic to think about the solution instead of focusing on the problem. I really liked that about the first book.
Although, my favorite book of this series is Faith of the Fallen. In this sequel, we learn more about his ennemies and we realize that everything is not all black and white. Its not all about good guys and bad guys. Nicci is one of my favorite characters as I feel a little bit like her, and I love how Terry Goodking has developped her in this book. This is also a very important part for Khalan as we see another aspect of her, how she can be a merciless leader when its needed.
I'd love to discuss more about it but I dont want to put any spoilers for those who have not read the books yet.
I know Faith of the Fallen is not the most apreciated book of the series but I'd like to know if any of you liked it, or disliked it, and for what reasons?

As far as the show... Well there are some things the world would just be better without.

The books are amazing in my opinion, yes they did get a little slow in the middle, but the main story certainly ended with a bang in the Chainfire trilogy. The next three books seemed to be just an afterthought to try and extend the series, maybe they should not have been written, but either way, any lover of fantasy should read these, especially Wizard's First Rule.
