5.0 out of 5 stars Fanatastic, brilliant charaterisation and compulsive reading, 14 Nov 1998
By A Customer
Stones of Tears is the second in the Sword of Truth Series and I have read the book twice already. The author has created characters you really care about and you want to win through. The story is well thought out and fast paced with barely a pause between adventures. The imagination of Terry Goodkind leaves you breathless and gasping for more. Stones of Tears is a flowing story following the main characters, Richard, the Seeker of Truth and newly realised wizard, and his love Kahlan, the Mother Confessor, go through trials and tribulations in their quest to defeat the evil of Darken Rahl and his master. Stone of Tears has some of the creatures and characters you will find in other fantasy books, a dragon, wizards but several morenever heard of before. Each hero and villain is unique in themselves. The story is overflowing with magic and adventure and creates a story with is a must for fantasy readers old and young alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terry Goodking's books are just amazing, 29 Jul 2000
By A Customer
I used to think nothing could be better than Lord Of The Rings until I picked up the Sword of Truth series. Once you pick up these books you will be lost for days in Richard and Kahlan's world. Mr Goodkind's writing is simply amazing he can introduce new characters with ease making you feel as though you have been reading about them for ages when in actual fact you have only read two pages about them and then other times he will leave you sweating and unable to put the book down. This is such a long book but make no mistake you will hang on to every word! . If you only buy one Fantasy book make sure you buy this one it's buy far and away the best out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bigger and better!!, 24 Oct 2003
I have just finished Stone Of Tears, the second instalment of Terry Goodkind’s gripping fantasy series, and I’ve got one word for it - EPIC!
It is now officially the second largest book that I have ever read being 1056 pages long, just twelve shorter than The Lord Of The Rings!
I thoroughly enjoyed SOT from the first page to the last, and found it very easy to get in to as it begins less than an hour after the end of WFR.
However, the story-line is much more complex in this book and sometimes a little unbelievable.
There are many brilliant twists and turns in this book. When Richard gets to the Palace of the Prophets all of his teachers seem to adore him, but at the end they all turn out to be twisted old loonies intent on destroying him. Even the people who aren’t so bad end up dying!
There is great character building in this book also. Kahlan and Adie both get much bigger parts and show their full powers as the Mother Confessor and a Sorceress. Goodkind also brings many different characters into this book although not all are likeable. There’s Warren, Pasha, Orsk and the brilliantly cute Gratch, but there’s also the Wizard Neville Ranson and Jedidiah who are both sickeningly twisted.
All in all, SOT is better than WFR! I can't believe I'm saying this but I think it has a more detailed story, more action, but they are both great books, I just can’t wait to get into Blood Of The Fold!
