Chronicle Toward Books The Law of Nines (Sword of Truth #15.5)
Turning twenty-seven may be terrifying for some, but for Alex, a struggling artist living in the midwestern United States, it is cataclysmic. Inheriting a huge expanse of land should have made him a rich and happy man; but something about this birthday, his name, and the beautiful woman whose life he just saved, has suddenly made him-and everyone he loves-into a target. A target for extreme and uncompromising violence . . . In Alex, Terry Goodkind brings to life a modern hero in a whole new kind of high-octane thriller.

I read Terry Goodkind's "Sword of Truth" series some time ago, so when I heard rumors of this book I was quite intrigued. I read that it was a non-fantasy change up for Goodkind and that excited me even more; I love fantasy, but I love a good change up, a break from the mold, even more. All of the publisher's material hinted at "a stunning" new book that defied genres... this is where the problems begin. The book is good, don't get me wrong. I enjoyed it very much. However, this was a fantasyI would like it if every reviewer would say whether they've read The Sword of Truth Series or not. It might indicate interesting trends in how people enjoy the book. I would love to compare my experience as a fan of Sword to those who didn't like it as much, and even more to those who are reading Goodkind in a new genre for the first time. Might make a good discussion for the sci-fi/ fantasy group as more people get the book and start reading. I bet the author and publisher would also like to
As you can see from the dates - July 8th-July 19th - this one took me a while to finish. Really it was an easy read, i.e. not full of harrowing language I have to squint at to try & understand. But I found bits of it quite frustrating. Actually, the main thing I found frustrating was the main character, the hero Alex!I don't know if anyone else has had this problem before, but while I was reading this book, I got REALLY annoyed with Alex sometimes. When he first met Jax and was doubting that

This is my first foray into the frightful and bewildering world of Terry Goodkind. Goodkind has quite a following in the world of Fantasy fiction. (Though Goodkind claims not to write fantasy, but instead writes books with Important Human Themes. His interviews are the main reason I have avoided the books to this point.) I read a novella of his that was included in the Legends anthology and was not very impressed.But the Law of Nines was a thriller/mystery novel, of course. So it couldnt have
I just finished Terry Goodkind's new book, the Law of Nines. Before I go on, I will warn there are spoilers in this review.I loved Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. Finally, some fantasy with depth and vision. What made that series so incredible was the way he mixed in philosophy (the objectivism found in Ayn Rand's books) with a really great and entertaining fantasy tale. Richard and Kahlan, the two main characters in that series, were believable as lovers and as heroes. They both progressed
Terry Goodkind presents: Terry Goodkind's Glock of Truth novels.Once upon a time Goodkind wrote some pretty decent sword-and-sorcery novels. Not mind-blowing, not life-changing, but solid and fun adventure stories with some seriously superb world building and characters that I liked enough to follow to the end of the Sword of Truth series. Followed it to the bitter end, because my affection for the characters was the only thing that sustained my interest in an increasingly preachy and
