4.0 out of 5 stars
Quick paced, keeps story rolling.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blood of the Fold (Mass Market Paperback)
While several hundred pages shorter than the first two, BotF maintains the excitement of the series. I gave it four stars because I had difficulty setting it down.I enjoyed the fast pace of this book. Mr Goodkind wastes no time moving the story on, FROM THE POINT WHERE THE PREVIOUS BOOKS LEFT OFF (other authors could take a lesson from this - no missed events)! I really liked the way Richard has shaken the foundations of the Midlands and D'Hara. Jagang is one bad apple! He scared me more than Darken Rahl ever did. I enjoyed watching Gratch grow up; it helps express the sense of time passing. I also enjoyed all the near misses when the main characters were physically close but unaware of it. COMMUNICATIONS AND INTELLIGENCE IS THE KEY TO VICTORY, PERIOD. What I don't like is the way Richard (and everyone else) has ignored the Westlands. There's no way Richard would blow off his homeland. Surely Jagang, the Sisters of the Dark, the Keeper, or somebody has been lurking there?.. I was also disapponted in the Lord General of the Blood of the Fold. He seemed too incompetent (crazy) to be the top dog, so what was keeping them together, and so powerful? His having the gift was a wonderful twist. Read this series, or I'll slap a Rada Han on you. Hey, that sounds like a wrestling move!

The Right Recipe for Fantasy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blood of the Fold (Hardcover)
Goodkind fans are once again treated to an entertaining story from the author of "Wizard's First Rule". Like the second book in the Sword of Truth series, "Blood of the Fold" picks up where the previous book leaves off and delivers the same successful mix of action, character development, intrigue, surprise, and insight into who we are and what we value. Probably the best thing to say about this book is it's really, REALLY as good as the first two in the series. While one might be inclined to criticise Goodkind for seemingly copying from Robert Jordon, I feel compelled to point out that while I RAVED about "Wheel of Time" I also have completely given up on the series. I can't stay interested anymore - I don't really care what happens to Rand. You won't find yourself wading through the mud in the Sword of Truth series because the events, the action, and the mystery just keep unfolding! And it looks as though Goodkind has the skill to continue to spin stories off of Sword of Truth with as much entertainment as "Wizard's First Rule". Yes, this book belongs right up there on the shelf with Jordon's "Wheel of Time" and Donaldson's "Lord Foul's Bane" and Eddings' "Belgariad/Pawn" and Wiliams' "Dragonbone Chair" BUT WAIT, SURPRISE, it also shares the top shelf with the first TWO books already penned in the Sword of Truth World! Hey fantasy fans - enjoy! This series is one to read. It delivers. You won't be bored!

This was the beginning of the end,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blood of the Fold (Mass Market Paperback)
Just pretend that this book didn't exist. Stone of Tears and Wizards First Rule remain to be my favorite books. This book introduced a new nemesis called emperor Jagang that seems to pop up as an excuse to extend this series indefinitely. No mention of him in the two pervious books except at the epilogue of Stone of Tears. The story plot also becomes a little sloppy starting with this book. If you really wanna treasure this series, don't do what I did. Stop at Stone of Tears and forget about the rest.
