PRAISE FOR THE WORK OF TERRY GOODKIND

Outstanding...Characters who actually behave like adults. Highly recommended.
--San Diego Union-Tribune

Goodkind's greatest triumph: the ability to introduce instantly identifiabel characters. His heroes, like us, are not perfect. Instead, each is flawed in ways that strengthen rather than weaken their impact.
--SFX

Few writers have Goodkind's power of creation.
--Publishing News

Teeming with violence, treachery, and intrigue.
--Publishers Weekly

Eminently readable.
--Booklist

A tour de force of mesmerizing storytelling.
