The Third Kingdom by Terry Goodkind
4.0
4 stars
The Third Kingdom is the thirteenth book in the epic fantasy series- Sword of Truth- but also the second book in the Richard and Kahlan series by Terry Goodkind. I was rearranging my bookshelves recently when I came across this series hidden behind some newer purchases. I haven’t read them for quite some time and remember really loving the series when I first read it. So I thought I would re-read the books- and the best thing about that was I got to read them pretty much back to back- no waiting in-between for new books to release. I have enjoyed the series, almost as much as I did the first time- although there were a few minor issues I noticed this time around that I didn’t the first time I read them. These issues didn’t really detract from my enjoyment of the story- but proved that our tastes and expectations do evolve over time.
This fast-paced story is full of action. Richard and Kahlan have survived against all odds- but again a new menace threatens not just them, but the world. This is a race against time to save themselves and the world. There is intensity, great characters, fantasy, adventure, action, drama, magic, danger, suspense, good vs evil, and so much more. I found it to be original and well written- with wonderful world building- Mr. Goodkind creativity resulted in a truly fascinating world, where every detail came to life before my eyes.
A great adventure that I am happy to have rediscovered again.
Thank you, Mr. Goodkind.
