Bargaining with the witch woman Shota, he trades the Sword of Truth for information on Kahlan and learns of "chainfire," hidden in "the place of the bones in the Deep Nothing." Journeying there, Richard discovers chainfire is a spell capable of unraveling existence. Hopefully, Goodkind has positioned all his pieces and the pace will pick up in the next installment.

I can't disagree with any of the critics of this book Other than the complaints brought up didn't bother me as much as it did others. He is preachy but for some reason his preachiness dosn't bother me nearly as much as Jordan's constant male bashing,or three page descriptions of rooms never to be seen again and ponytail tugging. The plot is sluggish but again, did you read any of Jordan's middle and later books or George Martin's last two? This. "Continued New and Interesting Plot Elements, Same Unfortunate Style" according to Amazon Customer. The plot elements are fairly interesting. It's a bit like the Illiad ("Just one damned thing after another"). There is still a lot of faux-libertarian/monarchist ranting, which we have learned simply to skip (this really, really helps), and the hyperbole continues to be a problem. The grammar problems continue apace in contrafactual-conditional constructions. Large sections are thoroughly ov. Steve97Good and necessary/important to the story line, but less exciting than the others of this series so far. I hate to give this book only three stars. It is an important part of the series, and it isn't even bad, but it has a slower feel than the other books so far. It is a very good setup for the next two book in the sub-series within the Sword of Truth series. Really, anything in this series is better than most other books, but my review of three stars is meant to be interpreted as a rating of t. said Good and necessary/important to the story line, but less exciting than the others of this series so far..

As Richard fought to focus his mind on his need to remain conscious, the breathless voices sounded to him as if they were coming from some great dim distance. Not far off, a rooster crowed in the still air, as if this were an ordinary morning like any other. She misunderstood and instead urged the men carrying him to hurry, even though they already panted with the effort of bearing him over the rocky ground in the deep shade among the towering pines. He clutched the arm of the woman beside him, desperate to get them to stop, to get them to listen. That's how he felt now - alone.. The crushing pain in the left side of his chest and his need for air had him at the ragged edge of panic. It was all he could do to try to pull each crucial breath. He knew that he knew them, but right then it just didn’t seem to matter. Even so, he had a bigger worry. “How much of this blood is his?” “Most of it, I’m afraid,” a second woman said as they both rushed along beside him. Richard observed the storm of activity swirling around him with an odd sense of detachment. He wasn’t sure who they were. They tried to be as gentle as possible, but they never dared to slow. He remembered hearing it once said that when you died, no matter how many people were with you, you died alone.
