A review by billymac1962
Blood of the Fold by Terry Goodkind
2.0
Since overcoming the nausea I had succumbed to over the romance between
Richard and Kahlan (it took a few years, no antibiotics were required),
I decided to take another step in the series. Like I've said in other
reviews for these books, this isn't such a huge commitment as these haven't been the types of books that hold you hostage to the series by ending with cliffhangers.
Blood of the Fold was OK. I really like the way Goodkind uses magic in
these stories, and I like the way he can keep a story interesting and moving along. It really doesn't feel like a 700 page exercise, and you're through before you know it.
However, I didn't find this book as good storywise as the first two.
But I was thankful that Richard and Kahlan were kept separated for
most of it.
I must say I think this may be my last outing with this crew.I really can't take Goodkind's sappy take on romance, or the cutesy encounters with Gratch the Gar.
There's got to be better fantasy out there that will wow an adult reader.
Help! Anyone?
