Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell, the Mother Confessor, fight the Imperial Order, and the various allies that the Emperor Jagang has coerced to follow him. The Stone of Tears, a magical device used to seal the Keeper in the underworld, has somehow been brought into the world of the living, making it possible for all Hell to break loose, including the Keeper himself, if the veil between worlds is torn enough for him to get through. The barrier between the Old World and the New World is breached, and the existence of magic is threatened by the Blood of the Fold, soldiers who will stop at nothing to destroy anything, and anyone, who has magic.
Reviews with the most likes.
I liked it, but I have mixed feelings. Good- the story sucked me in and pulled me along. Bad- it was hit or miss whether a character or plot element felt complete and not contrived. Probably mostly good, but there was some dissonance in my head.
If you read Wizard's First Rule, definitely read this one...its next in the series and better.
I decided to give two stars as the book seemed OK in the beginning. However, I had the impression that there was little value in reading further. The interesting got lost somewhere on the way...
Many fantasy series don't include real consequences or real reactions- this book defies that with the consequences of the 1st. And it still feels organic in how the plot and characters react to everything. I rarely get surprised by how characters change and this book did...
