Pillars of Creation

by Terry Goodkind

Tor Books | November 20, 2001 | Hardcover

New York Times bestselling author Terry Goodkind has created his most lavish adventure yet. Tormented her entire life by inhuman voices, a young woman named Lauren seeks to end her intolerable agony. She at last discovers a way to silence the voices. For everyone else, the torment is about to begin.

With winter descending and the paralyzing dread of an army of annihilation occupying their homeland, Richard Rahl and his wife Kahlan must venture deep into a strange and desolate land. Their quest turns to terror when they find themselves the helpless prey of a tireless hunter.

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.

Discover breathtaking adventure and true nobility of spirit. Find out why millions of readers the world over have elevated Terry Goodkind to the ranks of legend.

    TG went out on a limb with this book tearing away from typical SOT action in a departure that focused on two good and evil character studies. I probably expect that this installment will work to setup further plot developments in the world and you can see that foreshadowing.

    The first half of the book can be tough and a bore if you are a regular reader to the series and jonesing for your RR fix. But you have to learn to let it go and read the material for what it is. However, the betrayal was fairly predictable in my humble opinion but I think he dropped too many clues along the way that I picked up on.

    The last quarter of the book returned to his old pace though and once Richard showed up it was old hat page turning and I burned through it really fast at the end. At times the book was a bit preachey as TG injects his philosophies on world politics...and well really sometimes for paragraphs at a time.
    I would recommend it was enjoyable.

    736 pages of...nothing

    Faith of the Fallen (the preceding book) makes this one even more of a disappointment. It's essentially the author going off on a tangent that achieves next to no plot development. I also found the new characters irritating and one-dimensional. This was really unnecessary and is a total waste of time. Spare yourselves.

    A Let Down

    Okay. This book is important in the context of understanding Rahl's overall journey and understanding the importance of his ally and sister, Jennsen. However, readers will be a bit lost in the beginning trying to grasp the importance of such a character. It was a quick read, but Goodkind failed to capitalize on Rahl's personal journey in this book...something readers are really ready to dig into. Read it. Get through it. Move on to the next book.

    The Pillars of Creation

    I found that he took way too long to introduce the two new Characters HMM Drefan, oh sorry it is Oba.I found the repetition of those two boring and found myself flipping through sections of this book. Unlike Soul of the Fire which I read every page. All I can say is Terry PLEASE do NOT go The same route As Robert Jorden Let us readers have some closure.

    All in all the ending and later section of the book were well written and the end still left me wanting more so bring on the next book.

About the Author

Terry Goodkind is a #1 New York Times bestselling author. His books include the eleven-volume Sword of Truth series, beginning with Wizard's First Rule, the basis for the television show Legend of the Seeker. Goodkind was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, where he also attended art school. Alongside a career in wildlife art, he has also been a cabinetmaker and a violin maker, and he has done restoration work on rare and exotic artifacts from around the world -- each with its own story to tell, he says. While continuing to maintain the northeastern home he built with his own hands, in recent years he and his wife Jeri have created a second home in the desert Southwest, where he now spends the majority of his time.
