Goodkind really just about lost me as a fan forever with that piece. I do think that this book is better than Chainfire, Mr. Goodkind is a brilliant writer (in my humble opinion), but so many of the pages could be done away with, I don't need a page long description of every room a character enters, most times I find myself just letting my mind wander until the next phrase of any real consequence. I admit that I'm hooked now, and I have to know how this all ends (though it's really probably not all that hard to figure out). By the time the next book comes out I will undoubtedly have forgotten a good portion of this story (and I surely don't have time nor the inclination to go back and re-read the last book). In all honesty if I'd known in the beginning that it would be years between installments I would have never bought the first book. What's really problematic to me is reading a story and then having to wait for a couple years for the next sequel. it seems to me that this series could have been finished long ago. When I read the first book in the Sword of Truth series I was blown away, same held for the next few installments and then I started to feel like the reader was just being dupped into lining the author's (and the publisher's) pockets.
