I have to say that the whole book was pretty damn predictable. Right from the first chapter, Richard falls in love with Khalan(dude really?) then he saves her with his super intelligence. They run away to find Zedd, a powerful sorcerer who gives him the sword of truth so Richard can become a seeker. After that, they go onto this wonderful adventure to kill Darken Rahl. The End.
I'm quite disappointed with Richard. At any small sign of danger, he just pulls out his damn sword ALL THE TIME. Who do you think you are? Mr. Invincible? He doesn't think first. Then, there's Khalan. She's supposed to be super powerful Mother Confessor, but there was almost no sign of her power anywhere.She seemed weak as hell. Did I forget to mention that Michael was obviously a bad guy and everyone failed to notice it?
The only thing that I liked was the very intricate plot with all it's twists and turns.
Other than that?
Meh.
