★★☆☆☆
Either I grew out of Goodkind, or he stopped trying.
This is the 14th installment in the series. Not sure if that counts Debt of Bones or not, but I've read everything in the SoT world. By now, it just feels tired though. Either I grew out of Goodkind's writing style or he has stopped putting in the effort. Sentences like "Their wet shrouds came apart like wet paper." stick out like sore thumbs on every page, indicating to me that Terry never bothered to proofread or rewrite any of it.
This may be the last of his books I bother to pick up. At this point, it's only out of habit.
