BLOOD OF THE FOLD
by Terry Goodkind

Reviewed by Eoghann Irving

Book three (no I still haven't read book one) with at least one more to
come.  This one weighs in at a mere 700 odd pages.  Guess he was in a rush.

Having defeated the Keeper of the Dead, our heros now have to deal with the
world of the living.  Not to mention a few of the Keeper's servants who are
a little miffed.

This book is similar in style and content to the previous one, but seems a
little weaker.  I can't help feeling that you could half its size and still
have the same story.  I also get the feeling that this is just a prologue
for the next installment.

Still on the plus side, we have characters continuing to grow in depth,
secondary characters from the previous book stepping forward to take the
limelight and some suitably boo hiss villains.

We also start to see some of the connections between various events and
think that maybe the author isn't just making it up as he goes along.  The
author is also happy to kill characters off (or just be beastly to them) in
order to enahance the plot.

Not as good as the last one, but it still beats watching an evenings TV.

6/10
