Summary: 6 down and still strong
Comment: I have read the whole series up to this one (7th is on the way to me.) and I'm not in the least disapointed. Goodkind does a very good job at writing a good classic epic fantasy. The books in this series as of yet have almost never let me down and I finished this one off in one day of lazyness. This series is definately in in my top 5. Start at the beginning of the series though as it fills in the background. I would have to say my review is more directed at the series rather than the individual books, but it is the individual books that make the series.

Summary: Faith of the Falle
Comment: I loved the book, Faith of the Fallen, by Terry Goodkind. This is my most favorite book. This book is romantic and adventurous. It sucks you in and holds you there throughout the whole book and even after your done reading, making you want to read more.
The story itself is amazing. Even though this book is fiction, I start to believe in it. It feels so real. It has its up and downs, like real lives.
While reading this book I found myself falling in love with Richard, Kahlan, and Cara. These three Characters are so detailed that I can feel the pain and joy they all go through. I find myself crying when Kahlan cries and overjoyed when Richard sees Kahlan, after thinking they would never see each other again. I also found myself hating Richard and Kahlan's enemy's, Nicci and Jagang. I can just feel the evil pouring out of the book from them.
This book is so detailed that I don't have to picture what is going on or where the characters are. I feel like I'm there with them. I can see myself standing in the middle of the woods, looking at the beautiful trees. I can see myself walking around the army's camps searching for Kahlan.
Reading this book, I have learned many new things. I learned of war and politics. Throughout the book Kahlan leads an army and Richard leads a war. They are looked up to and followed by billions. I learn what it takes to be a great leader and things about the government and how it works.
Faith is a huge topic in this book. Richard speaks to people about faith and pride. I love this because it helps me out in life all the time. Richard says in the book, "Every person's life is theirs by right. An individual's life can and must belong only to himself, not to society or community, or he is then but a slave," (515). Richard shows commitment and determination will get you so far. Richard is broke; he works hard to make money. He found one way to get it, and it wasn't easy. Richard works hard, unloading bars of iron. A blacksmith needs more bars badly. Richard tells the man, "I don't have a wagon, and I want to earn the money. It's not all that far. I figure I can carry five at a time. That only makes ten trips. I can do that by dawn. I'm used to walking," and he does, until he earned enough money to buy a wagon (373). Richard is very wise as well. He tells Nicci once, "Knowing when not to fight is just as important as knowing how," and I think of this all the time when I'm angry (350). All these things help me out so much in life.
When reading this book you can find yourself rooting for the characters. You get attached to them and feel all of their feelings. You start to think about what they would do if they were in your situation. You are no longer reading a book, but watching the journey of two people in love going through life.

Summary: wizard's four thousandth rule
Comment: someone, i think it was harlan ellison but am perhaps mistaken, once noted that all fantasy literature is necessarily fascistic. this is not so unusual as it may initially sound; people crave strength, they crave inspired leadership of the sort that is all too rarely found in life. mythology provides that, anyone who reads fantasy fiction is obviously an escapist (myself included). what is to be absolutely avoided in fantasy literature is the urge to be didactic. my chief complaint is that goodkind has turned what was, in the first book, a remarkable world, into a platform for ideological warfare. furthermore, had mr. goodkind been intent on being remotely artistic about this unfortunate process, he would have done so in such a way that his own obvious opinions regarding the matter didn't distort the narrative. if you think this is impossible i suggest you re-read 1984. in addition to this i feel compelled to add that it is truly saddening when a friend whom you've come to love and deeply respect begins to do foolishly wicked things. what was initially a rather lovable rugged provincialism/individualism in richard cypher has morphed into an authoritarian madness which in turn, through some utterly implausible twist of the plot, turns into a sort of selfish apathy. mr. goodkind has given us a hero who is no longer heroic, a heroine who is no longer sympathetic, and a world that, now so steeped in a war of ideologies that it closely resembles our own, is no longer magical. just thank the good spirits that you still have dune.
