1) Mass Market Paperback Book Sword of Truth, Boxed Set III, Books 7-9: The Pillars of Creation, Naked Empire, Chainfire (Sword Of Truth) by Tor Fantasy. I think Goodkind´s stories are getting better and more thought-provoking as he goes along, especially as he devolops his enormous plot. In this box-set, all hell breaks loose! Terry has created a world of magic like no other I´ve come across; and his characters are unique. If you love fantasy, give this set a chance. -Stephen Prins, author of: Strife of the Lorin¤

2) Mass Market Paperback Book Sword of Truth, Boxed Set III, Books 7-9: The Pillars of Creation, Naked Empire, Chainfire (Sword Of Truth) by Tor Fantasy. I´ve read many a book, but none reach me like this series has. The entire Sword of Truth series, sets a pretty high standard for epic fantasy, let along a good book series. Early books had some places that were a bit clunky, (it was the authors first books if I´m not mistaken), but don´t we ALL start out something a bit green, and then hone our skills?

The more books by Goodkind you read, you clearly see the excellent progress he´s made in his craft. Goodkind does what so few fantasy authors do, that being have true heroes, heroes who use reason, heroes who do not become the enemy or become cowards and most important, heroes that stand up for what is honorable and true. And heroes that do not sacrifice their values to accomplish their goals.


You will not see nasty words, vulgarity, incest (unlike some series), porno, or any kind of depravity in the name of literature. This series touches on some violence and deals with real world issues like war and the true horrors of war. It exposes evil for what it is and it shows that mankind can rise up and be truly noble!

While I see there are a few people who want to vote poorly and post negative comments, it is your right. But when you post such acerbic comments, it is easy to see that you simply think it funny. Like anyone would take your petty comments as anything but jealousy and immaturity.

While this series has its merits, it has its problems as well. No book will have everything to speak to every person.

This series starts in easy, and right away you grasp the wonderful story telling ability of Goodkind, and as you go on, it delves deeper into the nature of man. This series explores deep human themes and exposes the fallacy of collectivism.

This book has a striking romantic aspect as well as plenty of heart wrenching twists. While I personally love the philosophy, I can see why some may not. That (IOHP), is why we have arena such as this, so that we can offer up likes and dislikes. Most who do that have offered up an HONEST review. The rest simply are offering up vitriol, because they fear this series for the good that it does and they fear it because they feel it a threat to their favorite author.

BE HONEST, give the book its due.

Support your book stores! Support the Publishing world, and for goodness sake buy a book so we can drive these whacked out "save the rain forest" freaks crazy by cutting down a few more trees!

3) Mass Market Paperback Book Sword of Truth, Boxed Set III, Books 7-9: The Pillars of Creation, Naked Empire, Chainfire (Sword Of Truth) by Tor Fantasy. Terry Goodkind is great at keeping you turning the page wanting to know what will happen to your favorite characters next.¤

4) Mass Market Paperback Book Sword of Truth, Boxed Set III, Books 7-9: The Pillars of Creation, Naked Empire, Chainfire (Sword Of Truth) by Tor Fantasy. Terry Goodkind deserves a lot of praise for this series. Its rock solid from the first chapter in book one and takes you on an amazing journey though a complex world of magic and intrigue. But as it progresses though the plot and character development it somewhere takes a wrong turn and end up as a sort of rightwing manifest for dummies.

The thing is that Goodkind turns the lovable character Richard Rahl into some sort of conduit for a moral standard that´s so one-sided that it´ll make you puke. He´ll keep Richard explaining a simple concept of freedom for the individual for pages and pages and he tends to dumb down the language so much that you feel like your back in kinder garden getting yelled at for eating yellow snow. The action that worked as page turners for the better part of six books now has disappeared almost completely and has been replaced by these monologues.

I´ll still read on from book nine, but I seriously doubt that it´ll pick up much from here on. Its good entertainment, don´t get me wrong, but it looses that high end quality as soon as Jenssen gets introduced in book seven. And that reminds me, Jenssen is by far the most boring character to get introduced into the series. It does not help that the whole of Pillars of Creation revolves around her. I´m hoping for more Zedd, less morals and someone that can teach Richard to use his gift in the books to come. And a new Gorge R.R Martin book.

She at last discovers a way to silence the voices. For everyone else, the torment is about to begin.

Staggered by loss and increasingly isolated, Richard and Kahlan must stop the relentless, unearthly threat which has come out of the darkest night of the human soul. To do so, Richard will be called upon to face the demons stalking among the Pillars of Creation.

Richard Rahl has been poisoned. Saving an empire from annihilation is the price of the antidote.

Worse, no one believes that she really exists, or that he was ever married. Alone as never before, he must find the woman he loves more than life itself....if she is even still alive. If she was ever even real.
