As he begins to search for her, he learns that he is also hunted by a beast created by Jagang's Sisters of the Dark. Richard awakens to find his wife Kahlan missing and discovers that he is the only person alive who remembers her. It was nominated for the Prometheus Award.ĭuring a raid on his camp, Richard is seriously wounded and now Nicci must use Subtractive Magic in order to save him. I unfortunately will be going out of my way to warn all Sword of Truth fans about the decline in Terry's writing abilities and suggest that they all stop reading after Confessor.Chainfire is the ninth book in Terry Goodkind's epic fantasy series The Sword of Truth, and the first in a trilogy. From the underwhelming creation of the Sword of Truth, the non-descriptive transformation from human to confessor, and the way Quinn (Kolo) destroyed and falsified his own records as well as creating the apparently entirely fake Book of Counted Shadows, there were just too many annoyances to consider this even a decent read. This of course is only scratching the surface of how disappointing this book was. I have read first The Law of Nines, and now The First Confessor after the Sword of Truth series, and it seems pretty obvious to me that the only main characters Terry can come up with are Richard and Kahlan. more I am a huge Sword of Truth fan, but Terry's writing has really been getting to me.

I am definitely looking forward to others in the series. Otherwise, the book filled in a lot of gaps in the sword of truth series, and gave a lot of background that adds nicely to the overall picture. I will not purchase any further books read by this person, because I would fear that they are just as poorly edited. I topped counting when I hit double digits for the number of mistakes in the book, (and that was just in the first half of the book).

The only thing that blunted my enjoyment was that I listened to the audible version of the book, and whoever handled the editing of the audio did an absolutely terrible job of editing and monitoring the recording. Review 1: Very nice addition to the sword of truth series.
