The Third Kingdom
Rand says:
Not often I give up on a book, but I've found myself giving up on a few just lately. I got about a third of the way into this and found it so repetitive and the plot machinations so obvious that I couldn't possibly carry on. I've forgiven Terry Goodkind a lot over the years because the stories have been a bit of a guilty pleasure, but if its not a pleasure I'm just left with the guilt! There are too many good fantasy books out there (sorry, I know you said you're not writing fantasy..., Mr G!) so I'll pick up another.

Things are getting real! So at the end of the first confessor you found out how they defeated Sulachan and his army of the walking dead, ( yes Goodkind calls them the walking dead, maybe he's a fan?) So Richard has once again found himself in a bit of a pickle, and he has lost his powers once again. He is never going to learn how to use his powers if he can't ever keep them! The poor guy. I did however like that Zedd seems more like himself in this book. The end is a little sad, but you have to lose a little something to give a story that meaty bit that makes you want to read on. The sword of truth series is still a great read.MoreLess
