"Well this was refreshing. I mostly enjoyed the story, I was interested in the interpretation of reality by each character, and for the most part it was a refreshing change from the normal reapeat, rerepeat, beat a dead horse writing style in the previous books. It resurfaced in the last 1/4 of the book, but I'm starting to think that very annoying part of these books is editor-related because the author has just decided we have no clue what happened last chapter I mean paragraph so it is up to the editor to remove the unnecessary and mind-numbing repetition. <br/><br/>Four stars because this might be the best one since the first book.(least amount of eyerolls) Yes there were some inconsistencies but I'm going to let that go because overall, the story was pretty good."

"I finished it a while back, so I don't remember chapters. I love Jensen's turning point when she realizes that richard isn't out to get her like all other Rahls before him. Goodkind is one of my favorite authors and it's been difficult to find books like this series since finishing it. "
"I've enjoyed the entire sword of truth series. pillers of creation is actually book 7, if you haven't read the previous books I recommend doing that first. out of the 16 books in the sword of truth/Richard and Kahlan adventures pillers isn't as good as most the other books in the series."
