novellyness 's review for:

Naked Empire by Terry Goodkind
3.0

SPOILER ALERT!

I had to force myself to finish reading this and I really wish I had skipped it. I would have been caught up with the repetitive re-cap every few pages on what has happened throughout the whole series. First of all, Nicholas the Slide was a pointless villan. Richard just shows up out of nowhere without any confrontation and kills him. Then Kahlan whose soul was stolen is saved by Richard's sweet nothings. The first 700 pages is about the gang wandering through the desert looking at rocks and noticing moss that doesn't grow on one side of it and Richard going on his preaching rampages to people who cannot think or comprehend anything for themselves. The last 20 pages wrap up everything on a happy note, of course. But the part that gets me the most is that Richard who is poisoned and will die if he does not get all the anecdote, manages to survive because his "gift" told him how to make an impossible anecdote to cure him. Just a what-the-hell-is-this-book.
