Summary
"'Yes,' Richard said. He gestured over his shoulder without turning to look. "There are two more, back there." Kahlan briefly scanned the dark jumble of rock, but she didn't see any others. Lightly grasping the silver pommel with two fingers, Richard lifted his sword a few inches, checking that it was clear in its scabbard. A last fleeting glimmer of amber light played across his golden cape as he let the sword drop back, in place. In the gathering gloom of dusk, his familiar tall, powerful contour seemed as if it were no more than an apparition made of shadows.
"Just then, two more of the huge birds shot by right overhead. One, wings stretched wide, let out a piercing scream as it banked into a tight gliding turn, circling, once, in assessment of the five people below before stroking its powerful wings to catch its departing comrades in their swift journey west. This night they would find ample food."

another good book in the series
Best thing about this was the great side plots woven in to the main Richard plot. Lots of philosophizing which can be a bit mind numbing at times, but it was gripping as most of these books.

narration is utterly devoid of emotion.
They need to use a different narrator. it's like he is reading you a shopping list.

Brilliant
A wonderful book. Once again the author creates characters of interest and depth. The world created and the politics of the world are fascinating. He gives both sides of the story here, allowing you not to see the bad guys as solely evil! Brilliant. The narrator is quite monotone but once you are into the book you don't notice it.

One of the best in the series!
This book is great, good mix of new and old characters. Even the narrator Jim Bond isn't too bad :)

Return to form

epic series
An epic book full of every element you need for a great piece of writing; magic, action, love, grizzly scenes, as well as moral concepts. All these books feature wonderfully imagined lands with rich histories that add to the book's realism and make it difficult to put down. There are strong characters that have a lot of depth to them and the narrator tells the story with ease and expression the compliments the story well. I'm looking forward to the next book.

Great listen
If you've read or listened to the starting books you'll know you want to read some more, personally I found the reading better than the listening, but these are still a great listen if you don't have the hours and hours to spend reading the books
