FAITH OF THE FALLEN took The Sword of Truth into a new decade and to new heights of intense, thoughtful and meaningful fantasy, while never losing sight of the need to tell a compelling and sweeping story. THE PILLARS OF CREATION continues that progression and will allow Terry Goodkind to investigate new depths in his characters, to change fantasy and to make The Sword of Truth the dominant fantasy series of the first decade of the new millennium. The new novel takes Richard and Kahlan to the ends of the earth as they attempts to track down an unstoppable demon before it kills them and lays waste to the world.

    The seventh book in the Sword of Truth series.
    A very wierd book, imo. Almost nothing at all about Richard, instead it is all about his half-sister Jenn.

    I have such an ambivalant attitute towards this series. I quite enjoy reading them but the political and philosophical meaning behind the stories is almost the exact opposite of everything I would believe in.
    In Wizard's First Rule for example the basic premise was that people are stupid. That mob rule always wins out, and by being able to manipulate that you can guide people into believing almost anything.

    There is also an entire book about how democracy doesn't work, another about the evils of socialism, especially communism, and how Richard becoming a tyrant is good for the people. That he will guide them in the right direction and protect the lands by eliminating pointless discussions.

    And yet despite the fact that I often end up shaking my head at what lies underneath the stories I do enjoy the books. Why I don't know; the plots are pedestrian, the characters crap, and the the prose plodding.

    Is this helpful?
