The latest installment in the Sword of Truth series was a page-turner for those eager to learn the fate of Richard the Seeker and Kahlan, his amnesic wife. While the tale was not completed in this novel, it was well advanced. Perhaps not quite as inventive as past novels, there were intersting segments such as the visit with the wisps and the spell-casting in the cave. The Imperial Army continues is gastly ravaging of the new world, described in somewhat excessive detail. Overall Goodkind is a powerful writer with a creative style that brings his fantasy world to life. His characters have depth and are convincing. Occassional lapses into simplistic moralizing are easily skipped over. A more thorough proof-reading would cure the annoying habit of using the same adjective twice in a sentence. At the conclusion of Phantom one is left wanting to know how the tale will finish yet wishing it would never end.Read full review
Lessons learned from the books can be applied to what's happening today. Very descriptive and imaginative author.

Again, Terry Goodkind has produced a book that continues to thrill fantasy lovers world over. I love the way he puts a story together. I always feel like I am right there in the story. He is able to describe certain aspects of the story without boring you, but keeping your attention and anticipating the next paragraph. I found myself reading quickly to find out what would happen next, then going back and re-reading, just in case I missed something. So if you have never read a Terry Goodkind story, do so. You will not be dissapointed.
Short version- this book kept me on the edge of my chair the whole time! Event after event simply astounding!!! If this book is next in line or even 2 books back, BUY IT anyway. You will thank me later!

I bought this book because I've read the entire series and absolutely love it. There's not many fantasy books like these that I can really get into. The first book in the series, Wizard's First Rule is definitely my favorite so far but this was one of the top books in the series too. You grow to love the characters and all of their different personalties. Terry Goodkind is an awesome writer and I cannot wait for the last book in the series!
