Product Description
On the day she awoke remembering nothing but her name, Kahlan Amnell became the most dangerous woman alive. For everyone else, that was the day that the world began to end.
As her husband, Richard, desperately searches for his beloved, whom only he remembers, he knows that if she doesn't soon discover who she really is, she will unwittingly become the instrument that will unleash annihilation. But Kahlan learns that if she ever were to unlock the truth of her lost identity, then evil itself would finally possess her, body and soul.
If she is to survive in a murky world of deception and betrayal, where life is not only cheap but fleeting, Kahlan must find out why she is such a central figure in the war-torn world swirling around her. What she uncovers are secrets darker than she could ever have imagined.

 Phantom May 13, 2008
What a looser,and a thief.Still couldn't come up with but one chapter of new material for the whole book.After all these books in the series came out the publisher should have trimed it all down to five(5)books as of book four(4) there is but one new chapter in each book.Who wants to read the last book?I don't,and I have them all except the last.It's boring Goodkind.

I love Terry Goodkind so I bought this latest audio book, but I can't even finish it. The reader is sooo boring. He has a monotone voice that you just pray will end.

wonderful book to read, but you have to read each book from book 1 to book 10 to enjoy it and for it to make sense.

As much as I like first book... This one is so boring.
Ah, let me tell you about Imperial Order's wrongdoings...
No, let ME tell you about Imperial Order's wrongdoings...
No, let me tell you about... as if I saw it with my own eyes...
No, let me tell... as if my eyes were without eyeglasses...
BTW, did I already told you about IO?
Well, let us ask this girl about IO...
Ok, now, after all possible characters told us about IO... let's hear about it again!
So much water, so few real action episodes.
Was it Terry who wrote this book?
Becoming increasingly stale.. February 6, 2008
I agree to the comment made below by Mr. Daniels. Wonderful review. However, as I was reading it, I promised myself that I had to put a fair review of this book online so that others would know what to expect, so I will just add my own two cents to his review.
The first half of the book, I had to put the book down and mourn path Goodkind's books have been heading to lately. Along with how often Richard (and everyone else now) lectures on how wonderful life is in this book, I had to hear, four of five more times in this book alone, how terrible the Imperial Order is. I think that, back 4 or 5 books when the Imperial Order was first described, that we all heard how horrible it is. I don't think that we had to hear it a dozen more times. Does long, drawn-out, graphic description of the atrocities the Imperial Order commit do anything but make for difficult and increasingly boring reading?
I had to keep convincing myself to continue reading so that I would finish a series that I had loved at the beginning, and to be honest, this is the first book I've read for pleasure that I have ever skipped even so much as a paragraph in; I am embarrassed to admit I skipped whole pages during the long lectures.
With the magic, it seemed that Goodkind was attempting to dazzle us with the scientific approach that Zedd and Nicci were working on. They used this "internal/external perspective," without explaining it, in a way that was just confusing.
One last critique on this book was that it recycled characters and plots of previous books. Just when you thought that a hated character (I won't mention names) is completely done with, out pops an obscure and mortifying plot twist that against all hope brings them back. To be honest, however, by the end of the book, I was again interested and happy with the story. The book, all-in-all, is worthwhile to read only if you are convinced that you need to finish the once-proud series (like me), or if you tolerate repetition and stale ideas enough to enjoy a good ending.
