I have followed this series and patiently waited for each new book
to come out. This time my wait was a waste of time. The two new
characters were an excuse for him to use some saved up sadist
twists and not much else. Evil is evil and naive is naive. No
stretch to see this plot.
Finally, at the end of the book we find Richard and Kahlan again,
just in time to save the day. Richard spouts out a monologue to tie
up all the loose ends in the story, reminds us of our moral
imperative and the story ends.
For this I waited? I won't wait again.
