Yaaawn...Kahlan is missing, Richard must hunt for her, discovers a new magic along the way, blah, blah, blah...This is repetitive to the point of insulting. This theme has been repeated over and over throughout this series, which I was a huge fan of for the first several books.Goodkind is a very talented storyteller, but he's run this one to the ground. My advice Terry, is to move on. Maybe write a story about a evil wizard attempting to take over the world using rings of power. That story line has more originality left in it that The Sword of Truth does at this point.
