I was disappointed in the fact that the protagonists never found a way to defeat the villains militarily....that could have made it even more interesting. I also felt that the search for the confessor narrowed down the scope of the series somewhat. The Sword of Truth novels gave me hours of entertainment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679264308177786075.post-65288078553159089972009-09-24T08:47:43.373-07:002009-09-24T08:47:43.373-07:00I really liked all the books.

Anyway, i've been trying to collect all the hardcover sword of truth books with the dust jackets that are in the photo display above, but have been having a hard time finding a few. Still looking for "Blood of the Fold" through "Naked Empire". If anyone can help me find those dust jacket copies I would be greatful.Nathannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679264308177786075.post-49726630975284311842009-09-16T15:42:42.412-07:002009-09-16T15:42:42.412-07:00hmm... a bit scathing i think by the reviewer. Th...hmm... a bit scathing i think by the reviewer. The series is not perfect, in my opinion. The element which best exemplifies this is the fact that Goodkind does in fact abandon all of the magical creatures that inhabit the midlands. He replaces them by opening up the world, which i liked, but also fails to complete the previous idea in some respects. I also disagre with the comment about book 5, Soul of the Fire, which is in my opinion a great deviation from the main themes in the book. I really liked the political approach as it offered another viewpoint for which the reader could look at the world of the story.. I think that blood of the fold and faith of the fallen are the two standout climax points in the series, unfortunately with 5 books left goodkind never reached those heights again. I would give the series an 8/10.. very solid, very interesting, very thought provking... also very long lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679264308177786075.post-29355897690391937292009-06-25T21:31:06.748-07:002009-06-25T21:31:06.748-07:00@ glacial2 Firstly, I have yet to read a 10/10 boo...@ glacial2 Firstly, I have yet to read a 10/10 book. In my opinion for a book to score that high it would have to be perfect. The Sword of Truth novels are far from perfect. Though everyone is entitled to their own opinion.Secondly I suggest you branch out a bit in what you read. You might be surprised at what you find and will put Goodkind's work in perspective.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04344917148662934359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679264308177786075.post-25458008836021561862009-06-21T22:54:09.208-07:002009-06-21T22:54:09.208-07:00what the hell are you talking about. these books a...what the hell are you talking about. these books are all 10 out of 10 except for pillars of creation. everything ties together perfectly, terry goodkind did an amazing job writing these, it may somewhat ramble continuesly by making like 11 books, but they all make perfect sense and connect to one another in a Perfect sequence. you no nothing craig or whoever commented above thisUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371017168069707332noreply@blogger.com
