Helpful Score: 1

It's rare for me to rate a book good enough to command five stars but this is one of those that stands out for me. Goodkind has turned epic fantasy on its ear with this book. Mr. Goodkind has a wonderful talent for pace but not at the cost of imagination. The magic is really incidental in a way that helps the story rather than detracts from it. I found it easy to like the characters and the sparing descriptions were a refreshing change when compared to the works of Martin or Jordan. I'm looking forward to reading other books in the series.
