Query: Excellent writing but May not be worth your time.

A well written book that does not add depth to the main characters. You can skip this book if you want to find out what Richard, Kahlan, Zed, Cara and the rest have been up to. If you just want to read Terry Goodkind, then you will enjoy it, but you will feel empty once you have finished. I may or may not buy the next book, I feel that I just paid for a sidebar in a great series. I and all the rest who enjoyed the first four parts were not given a continuaton of a great saga, just a book to fulfill a contractual obligation. After finishing, I re-read the first four to make sure I had not deluded myself into thinking that Terry Goodkind was a great writer. I only hope that, along with Robert Jordan, he doesn't extend this stroyline beyond its natural conclusion just to keep the series going.
