Book Description

On the day she awoke remembering nothing but her name, Kahlan Amnell became the most dangerous woman alive. For everyone else, that was the day that the world began to end. As her husband, Richard, desperately searches for his beloved, whom only he remembers, he knows that if she doesnt soon discover who she really is, she will unwittingly become the instrument that will unleash annihilation. But Kahlan learns that if she ever were to unlock the truth of her lost identity, then evil itself would finally possess her, body, and soul. If she is to survive in a murky world of deception and betrayal, where life is not only cheap but fleeting, Kahlan must find out why she is such a central figure in the war-torn world swirling around her. What she uncovers are secrets darker than she could ever have imagined.

Terry seems to have Richard loose that woman more then anything in the world but over all he makes him losign her interesting each time....if you're looking at this you read all the others most likely so you know the deal

2 out of 5 stars Disappointing ovreall with sparks of quality here and there.......2007-09-20

I am about ready to give up on this series, but I think I can make it one more book. This one was again disappointing. It rambled on and on over the exact same tired ground covered in other books. Then there would be a bit of action that was interesting and might have a good twist. Then it would ramble some more. I skipped whole paragraphs and pages and missed none of the plot. If you have stuck it out this long with the series, sure, so ahead. Otherwise don't bother.

Phantom by Terry Godkind is the second book in the Chainfire trilogy, but also the tenth book in the Sword of Truth saga. For people not familiar with Mr. Goodkind, it may sound odd that a book is part of a trilogy and a saga at the same time, but that is the case with this book. The Chainfire trilogy is merely the final three books in the saga. By all accounts, the final book in the Chainfire trilogy, will in fact be the last book in the Sword of Truth saga. The saga that was started back in 1994 with Wizard's First Rule (Sword of Truth, Book 1) is due to close with the next book. There have been a mix of gems and duds among the books, but over all it's proven to be a solid series.

The overall plot of this book is almost identical to the plot of the previous book, Chainfire: Chainfire Trilogy, Part 1 (Sword of Truth, Book 9). In that Richard is still searching for Kahlan. The only difference is that in Chainfire, Richard had convinced those closest to him (Zed, Cara, Nicci etc) that Kahlan does exists. Sadly, nothing much changes in terms of that plot line. It almost seems as though Mr. Goodkind wants to milk that piece of plot for all it's worth. There are a few other subplots sprinkled in for good measure as well. Such as the Boxes of Orden and just what they can do. I particularly like this subplot because it ties up events from book one and is obviously bringing things together. There is also, as with previous books, a great deal of discussion of prophecy. This subplot seems to make the book become sluggish and redundant due to the fact the characters seem as though they are constantly repeating themselves. There is also the additional subplot of the First Grand Wizard, Baraccus, and the events he started way back when. Certainly, an interesting addition to the story.

The characters are largely the same characters that were present in the previous book, and the entire saga. There is not much character development at all for the main heroes. In fact, the character that seems to develop the most is Emperor Jagang. Jagang's development mostly centers on readers just leaning more about him. There is no real growth for the characters. At times, this novel felt as though the characters were secondary and they were being dragged along by the story. This is the second book in a row where Mr. Goodkind has offered very little in the way of character development. I was disappointed, especially being that this is the second to last book in the entire series to have flat characters, after readers have invested so much time following the story. I sincerely hope, with the last book, Mr. Goodkind adds a great deal of character development.

I have a few criticisms about this novel.

One being that at times the dialog drags on, and on... and on. The characters say the same thing over and over again. It is almost as though Mr. Goodkind is saying to the reader "I want you to get this point." And then proceeds to beat the reader over the head with the point.

Secondly, there are several times in this novel where the characters are struggling when suddenly one of the characters has an `ah ha!' moment and suddenly figures out a very vexing problem and has all the answers. This is very frustrating as a reader to see things `given' to the characters so easily. This happens no less than three times in this story.

Also, as I talked about above, the simple lack of character development. Sure, the story as a whole is advanced, but in terms of character development there is very little to be found.

Overall this is a slightly disappointing book. As a reader, I don't feel like a whole lot was accomplished in the broad scope of things. Fans of the series will certainly need to read this book, after all there is only one more left to complete the tale. People considering reading this novel, without prior knowledge of the series, need to really go back and start from the beginning. There are events and characters in this book that are discussed, or mentioned that would make no sense without reading the previous books. I would most likely recommend this series as a whole to more adult fantasy readers, yet in the same breath I think there are better fantasy series out there right now with less philosophical discussion based on the author's views and beliefs. This is simply an average fantasy book at best.

5 out of 5 stars Phantom.......2007-09-08

As always Terry Goodkind keeps writing the books that you can not put down. The Phantom is deep into the series of Wizards first rule books (book 10) and it seems sometimes the "catching up" is a little tiresome but I just skip over these parts and truley love all the books that I have read by Terry Goodkind.

2 out of 5 stars The continuation.......2007-09-01

TG in his SFT series has always felt the need to repeat himself hundreds of times so that a full third of the book rehashes the series up to the current point. However up till now the story had continued to advance enough that by the end of whatever book I had read it seemed worth reading. Phantom was a complete disappointment in that it did not. As slow paced as his books are I somehow doubt he'll be able to masterfully end what still stands in my mind as a good series in one final novel. Those who have the time I still would recommend the series, this book one just has to suffer through and in all honesty may not even be that bad if the reader can quickly move to the next one due in Nov 07'.

    Book Description

    Descending into darkness, about to be overwhelmed by evil, those people still free are powerless to stop the coming dawn of a savage new world, while Richard faces the guilt of knowing that he must let it happen. Alone, he must bear the weight of a sin he dare not confess to the one person he loves…and has lost.

    Join Richard and Kahlan in the concluding novel of one of the most remarkable and memorable journeys ever written. It started with one rule, and will end with the rule of all rules, the rule unwritten, the rule unspoken since the dawn of history.
    When next the sun rises, the world will be forever changed.

    Chainfire: Chainfire Trilogy, Part 1 (Sword of Truth, Book 9)
    I have just completed listening to the audio version of this book. I found the story to be creative and quite compelling. I must admit that I have started the series with this book and have not read or listen to any of the other in the series. I am now reading Sword of Truth. I am about half way through and agree that Terry Goodkind is a excellant story teller. I am not overly concern of the repeated matter that this author and others seem to use to fill pages of perviously told features. Sometimes this is very helpful in reminding me about the story line or charactor. Jean Aueal did this alot in her last book and it made it easier to read after 10 years of waiting. I know that Mr. Goodkind has successfully progressed his story line through the years with little trouble. I look forward to the final book to find out what happens to the charactors. Good reading to everyone.

    4 out of 5 stars Interesting Concept.......2007-09-18

    While I did enjoy the plot of this novel I skimmed numerous pages throughout the novel. I finished it one evening. You get a lot of regurgitation in this novel and its sickening to your stomach. It's a good novel none the less just not one of the top four.

    5 out of 5 stars Great Fantasy!.......2007-09-17

    Terry Goodkind doesn't disappoint as he continues the series with Chainfire! A must have!

    3 out of 5 stars The plots are thinner than the size of the books would have you believe.......2007-09-17

    I've torn through the entire series over the summer in preparation for the final novel, due out in a few months. Goodkind sure knows how to tell a good story. As much as I adored the sheer amount of character development at first, by this point in the series, it's really getting in the way of the plot. After finishing each of these novels, when you reflect on it, not a whole lot Really Happened to justify 800-900 pages. Sure, it was good, but the plots are rather straightforward.

    Oh hey, GUESS WHAT? Do you know how Richard feels about Jagang and the Imperial Order? Well, in case you forgot from the previous novel, here's another couple of speeches detailing the value of life, the importance of self-interest, and the evils of collectivism. OK we GET IT. Is this how he "irrevocably changes the face of fantasy?"

    I don't really mind this, though, not too much. The characters are strong enough in their own right that they can survive such laborious diatribes. All my emotional investment in the story, however, comes from the early novels; I just want to see how this ends. By now, all of us are rooting for an incredibly gory and drawn-out death from the Order's proponents; there's no need this late in the game to repeat AGAIN how evil they are. I'm just not impressed with the writing anymore. In my view, Goodkind never really struck me as an overly incredible writer. It was the characters and scenarios he painted that provided such beautiful and emotional imagery for me to attach to. Nothing here is staggering eloquence. The prose is plain.

    The magic system in this series is pretty decent and believable, and his explanation of new concepts is pretty well delivered, often through apt analogy (comparing rain to Jagang's underworld beast really did clarify an otherwise confusing idea). When it comes to prophecy, though, I'm CONVINCED that Goodkind doesn't even know what he's writing! I mean, honestly, this is straight out of the book:

    "... [he] droned on about overlapping transpositional forks and triple duplexes bound to conjugated roots compromised by precession and sequential, proportional, binary inversions shrouding flawed bifurcations that the formulas revealed which could only be detected through Subtractive levorotatory."

    Now clearly it's intentional that Richard (and therefore us) is to be baffled all to hell by this, but c'mon, guaranteed Goodkind couldn't explain that if he tried. Not like it's important anyway, but still it was an unimpressive transparent writing device that yanked me out of the world for a bit.

    Goodkind holds himself in an extremely high regard. For someone who professes not to read any fantasy, he considers his series a breath of fresh air and an injection of life into "a tired, empty genre." For those who don't agree with the preachy direction The Sword of Truth has taken, he views in complete contempt. The man's got an ego - not surprising, I guess, given his philosophy. Sorry, Goodkind, but sharing your worldview and taking issue with some of your writing choices are not mutually exclusive.

    Anyway, if you're this far in, you're undoubtedly committed to the end, especially now that it's in sight, so tough it out.

    3 out of 5 stars Great story, but enough preaching objectivism.......2007-08-22

    And I'm saying that even though I'm an objectivist. While Goodkinds writing still hasn't lost the touch that entraps readers, from the first pages when Richard is being carried to Nicci after being fatally wounded by an arrow in the chest, he has taken it upon himself to fold in a large portion of philosophy. I love philosophy(and an objectivist, oxymoron or no). I love discussing it and reading different interpretations of it, but after you've made a point to one group of people, the point is made. If a rebuttal is given, you don't simple repeat your stance and expect them to change theirs. Goodkind seems to have missed this point. After making the same arguement about the value of life, and aruging about it once, maybe twice, the point should have been dropped. But it is repeated over and over and over, while not verbatim, as that would've made even me close the book in disgust, but from different vantages and viewpoints. While this may have been interesting the first time, again, after one or two other comments on it, the story should've been continued.

    And the story is good. It asks an interesting question: If all you have of a person is memories, do they really exist? Richard is trapped by the fact that, excepting a handful of trinkets he made for KAhlan, and his memories of her, by everyone elses perception, and by all other evidence, the Mother Confessor, whom Richard married in an earlier novel, has ceased to be, and furthermore, never was. The other characters continually attempt to convince Richard of his delusion, aided by constantly mounting evidence in support of that viewpoint.

    As stated, its a great story, with good character interaction, well thought out creatures, and a fantastic ending. Were my initial complaint not so onerous, this book would've been 5 stars, just like his previous ones.

        Meanwhile, Lauren finds herself drawn into the center of a struggle for conquest and revenge. Worse yet, she finds her will seized by forces more abhorrent than anything she ever envisioned. Only then does she come to realize that the voices were real.

        Staggered by loss and increasingly isolated, Richard and Kahlan must stop the relentless, unearthly threat which has come out of the darkest night of the human soul. To do so, Richard will be called upon to face the demons stalking among the Pillars of Creation.

Worse, no one believes that she really exists, or that he was ever married. Alone as never before, he must find the woman he loves more than life itself....if she is even still alive. If she was ever even real.

        5 out of 5 stars Sword of Truth, Boxed Set III.......2007-08-06

        Terry Goodkind is one of the Kings of Fantasy and has the amazing ability to bring the reader right into the story with very few if any boring "set-ups." The adventure always rolls right along and gives the reader the never-ending desire to turn the page, read another chapter, oh heck, finish the book, it's not that late. Goodkind is an author those of you who love fantasy will read over and over and over again.

        5 out of 5 stars Great reading.......2007-03-21

        I have read all but one of Terry Goodkinds sequels. I have found his books to be entertaining and they grip you with their tales. I hope these books get turned into movie sequels or tv sequels.
