Has potential

I enjoyed this story, although I feel it was a bit more predictable than some of Goodkind's earlier works in the series. That said, it has started a new saga and hopefully it continues in a good light.

As for the performance, it was read well, although there were occasions where it seemed like they were reading it for the first time and so emphasis was placed on the wrong words. The pronunciation of the name Jagang was continually pronounced Ja-gong and it may have been driving me slightly nuts by the end. It would have been nice for that to be consistent with the pronunciation in previous titles.

Despite these niggles, it was an enjoyable story and I will be getting the next title once it's available on Audible.

A great adventure!

A really great read, so much adventure and excitement squeezed into one book. Well done Terry Goodkind (again).
I recommend reading this after all sword of truth books as it contains spoilers from previous adventures.
The narrator Christina Traister is an excellent choice and does the voices and characters justice!
