I never got the chance to read it. I am a little bit busy in my life right now. But i wouldn't want to miss it.

i guarantee it's a fascinating series...including a political synopsis that will open your eyes :cool:

it is pretty good .hite as is the wheel of time but let me recomend

steven erikison tales of the malazan empire books of the fallen

i've been reading fantasy for about 30 years and erikison's series
imo is the best so far, if you havent tried it give it a shot
if you like goodkind and jordon you should be extremly pleased with erikison

I love this series, I have read it multiple times and I love the last line of the last book "Your life is yours alone rise up and live it", it practically summs up the entire series theme in one sentence.

I would have to say there are some things I did not like about it, Richard and Kahlan are like fucking perfect, I mean couldn't Goodkind have made a couple character flaws in them so they could make a mistake or two in the books.

David Eddings also has the Belgariad series, i'd reccomend that if you like fantasy.

i also like the wheel of time series, i think that anyone who likes sword of truth will like wheel of time and vise versa, i personally can't wait for the final book in the wheel of time series to be released although i think it will be extremely long...or it won't go into as great of details as the other books due to the fact so many loose ends have to be tied up before the final battle.

edding's is a fantastic writer...his humor is great and shows in everything he authors...the final book of the wot is due to hit this fall, and it's gonna be fuckin huge, likely 1200 pages or better...i only hope the author they got to cover jordan (RIP) follows the characters closely...that series has occupied my brain for the better part of 17 years :rolleyes:
