![]() The ending does not redeem the rest of the book up to it. Shota utters the words ” Chainfire ” and “The Deep Nothing “, terry that Richard hand over the Sword of Truth to Samuel for this meager information. We are told that Nicci inadvertently fed it some of Richard’s blood. This is an extremely lazy and incompetent way of telling a story. No one is going to pick up book 9 of a series without reading at least a few of the eight that came before it. Generally, when you have multiple storylines going on within the larger story, you tend to keep the pacing uniform across all of the storylines. Goodkind, the first five books of this series were great fantasy, but now I am tired of chasing Richard and Kahlan. You don’t need to have people say the exact same things back and forth for seventeen years to get the point across. I don’t even know what to call it, where he just describes what Richard plans to do and why for about 9 pages. There is a part near the end of the book, right before the climax where Weeks weaves two scenes with very contrasting tones and tempos together. The premise of the book, that a spell has caused memory of Kahlan disappear from everyone’s minds except Richard’s, is new for Goodkind. ![]() He fumbles around, not really sure what he’s doing, strains, trying to force it, and then gives up. However, Goodkind does it so often that it’s become more tedious that anything else. They seem to remember that the pages should not be blank but can’t remember what was originally written there.
