I remember loving this book as a teenager, but this was my first time rereading it as an adult. Honestly it read like a man's s3xual fantasy. Kahlan is so poorly written. Like he couldn't decide if he wanted a strong independent woman, or arm candy for Richard. So much of the book was sexual for no real reason. I honestly doubt I'll ever read it again. I'll stick to the tv show which was entertaining and not so twisted and lacking plot or growth.
