Enjoy it if you enjoy it, but I'm gonna sit this one, and any future Goodkind books, out. I shouldn't have to look at reading a book by one of my former favorite authors as a hideous chore to slog my way through, and that's what it has felt like these last few years. And, honestly, these last six books HAVE felt like punishment to me. If you enjoy the book, power to ya, but me, I can only take so much punishment. He can publish books to his heart's content, and I can pretend they don't exist to MY heart's content, and everyone is happy. I'm, unfortunately, just plain done with Goodkind. I'm sure there are some people, maybe many people, out there who enjoy this book for what it is, or are able to justify having read it to themselves in any number of ways, but I've pretty much come to the conclusion that Terry Goodkind is never going to put out another decently written book, and it's time to move on. It was a pretty big strain just to make myself finish them, and, well, I just don't want to have to put myself through it again, but this time with my favorite character. It took a lot of effort to read those books, and they did a lot of damage to my opinion of him as an author, and as a human being in general. And, unfortunately, I've heard from about two dozen people that she did get the same treatment, soooooo, yeah, I'm probably never going to touch this one, or any sequels it might get in the future no matter how many people may tell me the book is decent.įrankly, the effort it took just to plow my way through Goodkind's last six books, The Law of Nines, The Omen Machine, The First Confessor, The Third Kingdom, Severed Souls, and Warheart, has pretty much just burnt me out on Terry Goodkind completely. I am extremely wary of picking up this book because I don't want to see Goodkind do to her what he did to Richard, Kahlan, Zedd, and Cara in the Richard and Kahlan series.
Nicci is my favorite character in The Sword of Truth, thankfully she was almost completely absent from Richard and Kahlan.
Why? Because for the last decade, they've been absolutely terrible, and I'm not going to put myself through Terry Goodkind ruining more of the things I love. I'm done reading books that take place in the world of The Sword of Truth. Far past time to move onto something else.
