Terry Goodkind is great at world creation and weaves the plot beautifully with parts fitting each other like a puzzle. The three drawbacks I found that lowered my rating was the pace being quite slow at times, characters being much more two dimensional than in the first book, and this one was a lot more gruesome, gory, and graphic. I had to put it away a few times cause I got too disturbed. The story itself is of course very interesting and having an audio book is definitely a plus for this book.

DEFINITELY CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS!!
Reread of 2022: this is definitely a slower book however I enjoyed it. I loved how it does touch on self-acceptance near the end, even of things that could be new and scary. I'm still loving this reread and very excited to continue.
Verna is insufferable at the beginning, which I forgot about, but she has a great character arc.
I love Warren and Nathan ❤️.
This book was slow and dragged a little bit. However I still absolutely loved it and getting to meet new characters and seeing the world expand.
