This book is another on my original list and I am really glad I have read it. I hadn't used my kindle much in the past few months mainly cause I love the feel of turning pages but I dusted it off for this ebook exclusive by Terry Goodkind and I am so glad I did.
This book takes up the story from hints and mentions in throughout the whole of the Sword of Truth series. It has to be my favourite Fantasy series of all time and I love the introduction to all the aspects of that series that are explained and developed in this book.
For those of you who have read the series, this book is about the creation of not only the Sword of Truth itself (and how it got its name) but also of the Confessors, the Book of Counted Shadows, the Rahl Bond and a couple of others items as well.
For those of you who haven't read the series it is a great stand alone story to introduce you to the History behind the original books (of which I think there are 9).
The ending of the book left me hoping that there will be another dealing with Magda and Merrick as well as the various other characters that we have heard about in the original books. I did miss turning the pages but it being an ebook did enable me to read it on the train (the paperbacks of the Sword of Truth series are too heavy to live in my handbag so rarely leave teh house) and so I got through it in record time.
I am really tempted now to pick up the Wizards First Rule again and start the series from scratch. I think that will be a reward for me once I find and finish Tony Robbins and the two assignments I have allocated to this month.
I'm feeling pretty good now that if I read at least one book a month now I will actually complete this challenge (although I do intend to read more than one a month).
