About this listen

From the internationally best-selling author of the Sword of Truth series comes a new Richard and Kahlan novella.

"They are the monsters under the bed when you are little, the shape just caught out of the corner of your eye when you thought you were alone, the shadow of something in a dark corner that surprises you and then isn't there. They stop you dead with a knot of unexpected terror in the pit of your stomach. We have all seen fleeting glimpses of them. Never long enough to see them as I saw them, but it was them. I recognized it the instant I saw it. We've all seen flashes of them, the dark shadow just out of sight. They could briefly terrify us before but never hurt us because they came from so far distant. They were never able to fully materialize in our world so we saw only transient glimpses of them, the shape of them if the light was just right, if the shadows were deep enough...if you were afraid enough. I think that the star shift has brought us closer to their realm so that they now have the power to step into our world and hurt us." (Kahlan Amnell)

Let down

In truth I am a Terry Goodkind fan, however I was let down by book one! The story is instantly familiar but very slow to start and it finishes right as its gets going. Seems to me that books 1 through 5 are one book cut into parts and the value in book one is not there. I wont be buying book two and it breaks my heart.

Great read! Let down by poor editing

Loved this book, was a shame it wasn't longer! I understand it's part of a series though and can't wait for the sequel. The only complaint is the repetition of dialogue that seems to be aiding to word count rather than the story. It's quite frustrating when the dialogue between characters go around in circles repeating the same information throughout entire chapters. Richard is a smart man, yet he asks the same questions about the Golden Goddess dozens of times and gets the same answer. One must assume someone of such intelligence wouldn't need to ask a question he's already been given the answer to. Over and over and over ect
Im looking forward to the next installment and hoping the editor does a better job!
