This one is a little different as you follow Richard's half sister Jennsen and only see Richard and Kahlan for a miniscule part of the book. but still a great part of the series!

I enjoyed the story in this book as part of the continuation of the Sword of Truth series. I don't know what it says that the main protagonist of the series didn't show up until about 650 pages in, but I liked it.

re-read:
I like following a character other than the mains. It's a nice switch up, but not seeing our mains until the very end is a bit much. Also, I skip over the Oba chapters these days, I just can't deal with him. Gets on my nerves. Good book that brings things together later though. I know many don't like it, but I like some of the new characters we get to know.

J’ai été déstabilisée au début vu qu’on suit d’autres personnages que Richard et Kahlan ce qui apporte un petit vent de fraicheur nécessaire.
Par contre, il y a ENCORE des agressions sexuelles (sérieux, à part me donner envie que le personnage meurt, ça n’apporte RIEN à l’histoire) et, évidemment, Richard et Kahlan sont séparés, Richard réussit in extrémis à savoir quoi faire et tout se règle en 30 min (j’écoute la version audio).

So far my least favorite book. It’s supposed to be a Richard and Kahlan novel but they don’t Show up until the last 3 or 4 chapters.
„The order“ and their mindset just seems so twisted…. And ominously close to the current world order. A sick twisted and demented version saying we are the slaves to other people and that became we are able bodied it’s “our duty” to care for those that aren’t… that slowly creates an impoverished world full of people being dependent on the government to provide for them by enforcing slavery on those who still can work to give their earnings to the “less fortunate” when in reality they’re just greedy and lazy and want someone else to do everything for them…. Sound familiar at all? Lmao
One of the main characters,Sebastian, in the end , actually kills himself after being told how backwards his beliefs are and that he doesn’t understand the true meaning of life or love with a demented version of what he believes.
And Oba. What in the actual fuck ? That guy deserved a more in-depth demise then being trapped under a rock.
He’s one of the most gruesome heinous characters in the book and he dies from starvation… that’s it?
Very disappoint in the book.

Felt like a long boring line that ended with a fun, short ride.
