The Stone of Tears

After finishing the first book in the Sword of Truth series, I had to continue reading. Terry Goodkind is becoming one of my favorite authors. They way he crafts plot twists is intriguing. Either he will make it so that you know it's coming, and something totally unexpected happens, or he will make it so that you don't know it's coming but you knew that the event would have happened sometime in the book.

The book that I am reading right now is The Stone of Tears. Like the previous book, this story follows the lives of Richard Cyper and Kahlan Amnell. It picks up almost exactly to the minute where the last book stopped. This book follows the events of what happens after the antagonist is stopped in the last book. Even thought that character isn't in the book directly for some parts of it, his lasting effects are still seen throughout the book. It becomes bigger than Richard and the antagonist and comes to include the destruction of the whole world.

Since I am still reading it, (about halfway through) I have no spoilers for this book. Out of about 900 or so pages, I am around the three-hundred to three-fifty mark. Already the plot is heating up and the characters have me hooked to this book. I can't wait to continue reading and find out what else Terry Goodkind has cooked up to shock me out of my shoes.
