3) Hardcover Book Phantom: Chainfire Trilogy, Part 2 (Sword of Truth, Book 10) by Tor Books. I found this book in the Chainfire Trilogy to be up to the authors usual standard.The one con that made me rate it 4 stars rather than 5,is the pages of detail spent explaining the workings of spells and prophecies.I feel it is really unnecessary filler that doesn´t really add to the storyline.I was also pleased to find at the end of the book that the next book will complete the series.As much as I have enjoyed the series,I was ready to see it completed.I am anxious to see where Terry Goodkinds extrodinary talent will take us next.¤

4) Hardcover Book Phantom: Chainfire Trilogy, Part 2 (Sword of Truth, Book 10) by Tor Books. I am tearing my hair out. Reading another chapter in this book is about as much fun as taking chemotherapy.
I recently read a discussion on fantasy literature where Terry Goodkind was touted as one of the masters of the genre, and by more than one reviewer. Being one of my favoured genres, I had to find out for myself. Unfortunately, I choose Phantom for my introduction. I couldn´t get through it. The first chapter was OK, but as I progressed through chapters II, III, and IV, waves of nausea began to overpower me. I finally had to abandon the project.
What made it so loathsome?
Let me see! The cartoon characters, for a start. Perfectly two-dimensional: no doubts, no flaws, no hidden humanity. The good were saintly, the bad were satanic, and everybody else just seemed stupid, which apparently is the gimmick TG uses to repeat his explanations of all the fantastic hoopla that is going on ad nauseum. Alas!
I love a bit of magic. But why try and explain it all with science that is gibberish? Is this a medieval world, or the Jetsons revisited? TG´s scientific knowledge must be somewhat stunted, he uses the same 15 or 20 words to explain all the eerie and paranormal phenomena until your mind feels as though it were being dragged through a sewing machine. Talk about Post Traumatic Stress disorder!
Then there´s the dialogue. All of the characters talk as if they´ve yet to reach puberty. Is this truly adult literature?
I think TG missed his calling. He should have gone to art school to learn how to sketch. Put in a few sounds effects for color. BOOOOM!! SCREEECH! An explosion on every page. This should have been a comic book.
In the end I couldn´t identify with anyone in the story. I couldn´t find anything likable in any of the characters. I just had to walk away.
