Blood of the Fold Review


Check out my other reviews on the first two books in the series.

Wizard's First Rule
Stone of Tears

This is the 3rd book in the Sword of Truth series and the worst so far. This is also the shortest, by almost 200 pages. The main fault of the the book is the enemy. No more Darken Rahl but instead we get the Blood of the Fold. The second book hypes them up as this powerful force but I can't find the difference between them and the Imperial Order. They both want to rid the world of magic and Richard. I didn't find them scary at all and Goodkind would go back and forth between them and Richard's story. That is the second fault of the book, Goodkind likes to switch the point of view from the main character to a boring minor character that will only be in one book. I really wanted to like this book but in the end I wish I hadn't read it at all. I really hope that Goodkind can go back to what made his first two books so good.

  1. Not the greatest of the bunch... but that's an awesome alternate (probably original) cover.

    Yeah, I hated the Blood of the Fold characters - but not in the good way you're supposed to hate the villain.
