![]() ![]() ![]() Probably one of the most important yet, but anyone who's read Part 1 of Atlas Shrugged will know Wizard's Ninth Rule hundreds of pages before it's named.įirst of all, I would like to say that this series is one of the finest I have ever read. Chase and Rachel re-entered the story in Naked Empire, now all that remains are Gratch and Scarlet, who I hope to see back in time for the final battle by the end of the Chainfire trilogy, which will end the "never ending story" (oh was that a contradiction? hmm best check my premise) of Sword of Truth. This book continued to follow up on the trend Naked Empire started in bringing back old favorites. Getting to know Nicci in FotF drew on for me, but this book is full steam ahead from start to finish. ![]() No previous book, even Faith of the Fallen, has kept me so thoroughly entertained in it's entirety. This was the very first book of Terry's that has never let down even for a moment, every last bit of the story was entertaining and suspenseful. Throughout this book there is a sense of eminent danger because of an underworld beast of random (and perhaps contradictory?) nature stalking Richard. He understands the problem better however and disregards all else to do as only a seeker can do find the truth. Everyone believes the love of his life was nothing more than a dream and believe him to be delusional. Richard, however, has more important things on his mind, and says 'no'. ![]() The final battle is finally upon the world, and Richard is called to lead as was proclaimed by prophecy that he must in order for the shadow of the Imperial Order (a devoutly collectivist and oppressive-christian ruling body) to be thrown back for good. This book was the book I had expected to follow Faith of the Fallen. In fact she essentially took Kahlan's role in this book. This book however brought Nicci back front and center. I loved Nicci and I was sorely dissapointed when the next two books did not include her. Faith of the Fallen was the only book ever that brought me to tears. I may still be in the honeymoon phase after finishing this book but I'm leaning towards saying this book was even better than Faith of the Fallen, if not as meaningful. I've been a fan of Terry's for a number of years now and while I wasn't much a fan of the last two books, I, unlike a lot of people I know, was still undetered by the slump in the series, nor did I think Terry was losing his touch. ![]()
