I was recommended Wizards First Rule a few years ago but found it a pure rip off of other fantasy series, most notably RJ's Wheel of Time series.
In between other books I did squeeze in book 2 - Stone of Tears ? - but again was not particurlarly impressed. However I have recently read Blood of the Fold and for me it was the best in the series so far. It has probably been 2 years or so since I read S of T, so any rehash of previous storylines probably enhanced the enjoyment of the current instalment rather than hindered it as other readers have complained of.

I will probably wait a while before buying the 4th book in the series but I am looking forward to reading this one rather than reading it because, well I've read the others....

Having read Wizards First Rule and Stone of Tears in a week-end I was eager to continue the saga, and was not disappointed. The story carries on well from Stone of Tears and quickly your in the thick of the action. One thing I like about the Sword of Truth series is that each book stands well on its own. True, you ought to read them in order, but you don't have to pick up the next one to see what happens, each is a complete story. I also found the ending exciting and well written (unlike other authors where the ending seems to 'go off on one' so to speak) matching the pace of the book.
My only grumble about the series is that almost all of the ideas are ripped off from Robert Jordans 'Wheel of Time'. Which if you have the time to wade through (nine books with ten on the way) is the best thing I've read. Each of Goodkinds books seem to introduce new Jordan concepts, so much so I found myself trying to predict the next one.
If you've not read Jordan your in for a treat, if you have then it will make your laugh ... but no matter what your in for a great ride.

An excellent compelling read, the 3rd in the epic saga about Richard Rahl, Zed, Cara and Kahlan....
Had to force myself to put it down. Too many nights sat up to 3am because I didn't notice the time passing. Wonderful. When finished I instantly wanted to sit and read the next in the series

A good read, but downhill from first 2 books
Reading the first chapters made me feel I would never put down the book before it was read. The next chapters kept the suspense and seemed to start a great fantasy plot. Read more
