What can I say, I really should have read the other reviews and taken a bit more notice. Not a bad story, but way too long and repetitive It's so disappointing that this one book has turned it into a grind. I don't care how short that story is, fluff it up to 800 pages so we can divide it into three books.' It's like what Peter Jackson did with the Hobbit, but preachy.All in all, I've truly loved this series.

It reminds me of Jordan's Wheel of Time series where there were passages that lasted for 200 pages where literally nothing happened. Where TG could use 10 words, he uses 100. Believe it or not, that's not an exaggeration. Not to mention, those who have faith are ignorant, stupid, illogical, blind, sheep-like, intolerant, egotistical, condescending, uncharitable, judgmental, misled fools who hate everyone around them and despise life itself.

Move on, already.' There is at least one LONG, LONG, LONG lecture - like an entire chapter - where a poor, ignorant character is enlightened about the evils of faith - any faith - and how those who have faith love to kill those who don't believe as they do. There are HOURS where characters are retelling to someone a list of the goriest things TG could think of which go on and on to the point where one is just wishing whichever character was being told would just say, 'Look. So far, this second book of the trilogy is pretty disappointing. Throughout the books, the characters have been a vehicle for TG to put forth his ideas about free will and the rights of the individual and a story of the atrocities of unchecked evil and how one must fight back against it. This end trilogy, though, is turning out to be so tiresome. Okay, so I've really enjoyed this series.

They tried with this series and when you read TG's remarks about it, you can tell he wasn't thrilled with it. What three words best describe Sam Tsoutsouvas’s performance?Ĭould you see Phantom being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? Would you ever listen to anything by Terry Goodkind again?Īs I said, I do want to see how it all ends - I've invested a couple of hundred hours listening to this series. I'll end up finishing this series, but listening to Phantom feels like I'm just drudging through it to get to see how it all ends. Would you try another book from Terry Goodkind and/or Sam Tsoutsouvas?
