Review:After a short introduction this book sucks you deep into the story. Very quickly you find yourself hanging on every word, waiting for the next realization. An amazingly fast-paced page turner with a very strong plot. Gladly anticipating the second book! Read more
Review:"Confessor" concludes the "Sword of Truth" saga, amazingly four years after the initial installment "Wizard's First Rule", by giving reiterated speeches by the same characters readers are accustomed to spouting the "life is worthy for living" philosophy. Regardless if it is Jennsen, Nicci, Ann, Richard, or Kahlan, the values are interjected at every possible opportunity, whether it is during a torture or a walk thro... Read more
Review:Better. Book 10 captured my attention because we really got to see a lot more of Kahlan and her struggle to remember who she was on her journey with the Sisters of the Dark. By her story becoming the central focus, the reader wasn't subjected to the overbearing speeches that have dominated the last 3 books in the series. It was a refreshing change.
Also, the side story of Richard going off to seek the book left by Baraccus was very good, as was the focus of Nicci. Her development as a cha... Read more
Review:It’s so wonderful to be back in this amazing world that Terry Goodkind created. Following Nicci, Nathan & Bannon on their mission is immensely enjoyable. And -- OMG! -- there are morazeths & agile knives! Read more

Review:Got this for someone as a Christmas gift. The had never heard of it, but loved the idea right away. The package is great, exciting to just to look at. I followed up and they are still going through the book, and loving every minute of it. Read more
Review:Sanderson does it again in a continually twisting, fast-paced story. The character development allows you to feel the characters more than before and one comes to enjoy their very human-ness in interactions with their own mythology... Quite awesome! Read more
Review:This short story was very entertaining even with so few pages. It's a nice interlude before the next book comes out and provides us with more pieces to these "Epics" powers.
Well worth the price. Read more
Review:Bands of Mourning is a good novel, but the problem is Sanderson writes exceptional novels, not good ones. Between the random MeLaan fanservice, blatantly obvious plot elements (eg, Telsin), and overall generic trope-ified nature it feels more like one of those series where a B-team comes in to create additional content, and never hits the quality level of the original author. The original Mistborn novels were unique in that they subverted tropes. Bands of Mourning does not. It panders to the... Read more
Review:This is my fourth audiobook and I absolutely love it! The narrator is perfect, even though I sped up the reading by 1.25x. I was leery about listening to a Sanderson novel. I reread his work for clues, hints, and to get names correctly, but I never felt the need to run to the book and check anything. Ths audiobook was perfect for my long trip to visit family and I honestly might listen to it again. Read more
