And just to swing things around after the disturbing serial killer chapter…
Now we have a diatribe on how to prevent the spreading of epidemics… Honestly… What is this book?!

Terry’s starting to be Terry… A whole chapter of some pretty serious Serial Killer vibes that is written a little too well, perhaps?
Someone had some seriously dark thoughts that they needed to get out, and The Sword of Truth series was the canvas.

Still great high fantasy books, but at this point in the series, Mr. Goodkind’s weirdness is starting to show…

Borderline unable to put this book down.

A good read so far. The switch from first person journaling to third person NASA initially felt strange, but is starting to flow. (Just in time to swap back to journaling.)

Chapters 30-39 were a slog... I understand the need for the exposition, based on the direction the book has taken since, but I can't recall a single instance before, where I had to dice myself through so many chapters this late into a book...

This book perplexes me. -- How can a story all-at-once, show such tenderness as well as such ugliness in humankind. -- How can a story be in one moment, such an emotional weight, and in the next moment, show such hope?
