DESCRIPTION:
Chad Fincher said Holy Repetition. So my mom got me this book as a gift because she knows I am a huge fan of Terry Goodkinds work. Well I was until his recent work.I told my mom that I just wasn't happy with how much repetition there was in this book. She asked me what I meant. I explained to her that he repeated the same thing over and over, you know repetition. She just didn't understand why he would do such a thing and said that it just couldn't be true. I have to agree with her that I didn't know how it could be true. I wasted $12.99 :( It's unbelievably difficult for me to say what I'm about to say because of the fact of how much I've loved the Sword Of Truth novels over the years but I've made it to chapter 39 of this book hoping it would get better and not just continue to be an extremely irritating dialogue between Richard and some little almost a woman girl he meets in a secluded little village that just so happens to be so secluded because its there to guard a "gasp!" barrier! Seriously Terry? Chapter 39 and they. Goodkind is up to his old tricks again I have read quite a few reviews saying, what happened to Goodkind's writing? My answer is, nothing has happened. He hasn't changed. And that's the problem.After reading his entire series up until the Third Kingdom, some of his old tricks are very much wearing out their welcome. I feel he hasn't evolved as a writer, while many of his audience have evolved as readers.The Third Kingdom is a third of it spent literally with Richard translating symbols on a wall. He is foretelling everything
. One of the most popular writers of fantasy today, Terry Goodkind divides his time between Maine and Nevada
His heroes, like us, are not perfect. Highly recommended.” San Diego Union-Tribune“Goodkind's greatest triumph: the ability to introduce instantly identifiable characters. “Outstanding…Characters who actually behave like adults. Instead, each is flawed in ways that strengthen, rather than weaken their impact.” SFX“Few writers have Goodkind's power of creation.” Publishing News“Teeming with violence, treachery, and intrigue.” Publishers Weekly“Eminently readable.” Booklist“A tour de force of mesmerizing storytelling.” RT Book Reviews
Terry Goodkind returns to the lives of Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell—in The Third Kingdom, the direct sequel to his #1 New York Times bestseller The Omen Machine.“Richard saw the point of a sword blade sticking out from between the man’s shoulder blades. All three were the style carried by the men of the First File.“He looked from those blades that should have killed the big man, up to his face. Richard saw, too, the broken end of a sword blade jutting out from the center of the man’s chest. He spun back toward Richard after throwing the woman out of the opening, ready to attack. That was when he realized the true horror of the situation, and the reason for the unbearable stench of death.”Sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller The Omen Machine. Only the handles were showing. It seemed impossible, but the man looked unaffected by the blade that had impaled him through the chest.“It was then, in the weak light from the re pit off to the side, that
