    I suppose it is the 3rd book in the Seeker series. The 2nd one was already not great, but the 3rd was an incomprehensible piece of trash, a waste of paper and ink. I have never read something so bad, before or after. Goodkind is crystal clear when writing out his rape fantasies, and blabbers incoherently for every other part of the book. I strongly dislike rape and torture themes, so there was nothing of value in the book for me. Years later when I read the Wheel of Time series, I discovered that Goodkind stole all of his ideas from Robert Jordan and then made them significantly worse. What a hack.

      I tried to reread the books as an adult and was horrified that my younger self liked them so much. I must have glossed over so much.

      They were one of my favourite series, probably because they were one of the first few epic fantasy I had read.

      I blame it on my naivety.
