Product Description
On the day she awoke remembering nothing but her name, Kahlan Amnell became the most dangerous woman alive. For everyone else, that was the day that the world began to end.
As her husband, Richard, desperately searches for his beloved, whom only he remembers, he knows that if she doesn't soon discover who she really is, she will unwittingly become the instrument that will unleash annihilation. But Kahlan learns that if she ever were to unlock the truth of her lost identity, then evil itself would finally possess her, body and soul.
If she is to survive in a murky world of deception and betrayal, where life is not only cheap but fleeting, Kahlan must find out why she is such a central figure in the war-torn world swirling around her. What she uncovers are secrets darker than she could ever have imagined.

I love this series of books. However, this is one of those books that just fills in details. Richard continues to look for Kahlan. There is great deatil in Richard trying to find her, but yet at the last page Richard still doesn't have her. Overall though I would say this is a good book, just not one of the best in the series.

This is a great series. Have completed it twice, have all the copies in paperback and hard cover, will one day read the complete series again. It's ageless..........
 That's it, I'm done April 27, 2010

I got it Goodkind, there is not God, we need to live life for ourselves, and Kahlan is important. How about a new topic to tackle?
I keep hoping and hoping the next book will be more action and less preachy, but I keep being disappointed. I would have rather re-read Wizard' First rule 3x instead of reading the last 3 books.
I actually was listening to this one (which I had not done previously). For literally a half an hour Mr. Goodkind details the death and rape of the people of Galea (good to know, but we already know this from other stories, it's just more gory here) and then goes on a philosophical stint trying to pin religion as the root of all evil. I'm a rather liberal left leaning individual, but even I found what he was saying overly one sided and annoying at this point. We've heard this point before, like, A LOT. Ironically he is presenting his ideals with the one dimensional zealotcy of a religious fanatic. I miss when he switched up the enemies earlier in the series, now it's all about fighting what the author calls "Jagang's Army" but means religion and the belief in an afterlife. Yet if there is nothing waiting for the people of his world on the other side how come he keeps fighting things from "the world of the dead" and would get help from dead people in "the spirit world" such as with the Mud People and Denna? But maybe that was the old Richard, and the old Goodkind
Boiled down:
If you like God, this book very well might offend you.
Preachy, but not much more than the last one.
Still don't like Richard, he's an arrogant, quick to anger, bull-headed, preachy jerk (I keep hoping the old Richard will come back, or that he'll sleep with Nikki so I can just hate him already)
The books are no longer about the stories or even the characters, they are about a single ideological point, and the same one as the last 3 books.
Redeeming quality: more magic, but it's so technical that at times you tend to gloss over.
Please can we have a new map --- maybe 5 books ago? April 26, 2010

Although I have to agree with the people who have pointed Goodkind's fascination with torture and rape, I'm still reading. I'm to the point with these scenes, though, where I'm skimming and kind of saying, "Yeah, bad guys, torture, aggravated assault, got it, next scene/chapter/book." Had enough of this in the second book. I've reviewed several of them and the one thing I've left out is CAN WE PLEASE HAVE A NEW MAP???? The one in Wheel of Time has enough detail it lasts the whole series, but for gosh sakes, the ones in Phantom and Confessor still have the stupid Boundaries up, miss places that are hard to pinpoint from the narrative while maintaining map points that haven't been important since the first few books. Caska? Thought I had it nailed till Ulicia started looking for it. Altur'rang? Clueless other than it's in the Old World. Bandakar and even the Pillars of Creation? Off the map where there be dragons, I suppose. If Tor is going to keep the bloody thing, how hard is it to add a few map points, lose the Boundaries, and compress it a little so we can see what some of the Old World looks like?
Awesome Series! April 23, 2010

This is a great series! :-) Some may not like the end to this series, but I found it to be rather good. I don't like a lot of loose ends at the end of my stories. Case in point "The Lady and the Tiger". I had to read that stupid thing in School and then you are supposed to "Write your own ending." This series is wrapped up well, and you aren't left hanging on anything. I love it. :-)
