Reply to comment by Sacred-Moose in Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind: worth the read? by Sacred-Moose
I liked his writing style. I liked some of the storyline with Richard and Kahlan. I enjoyed some of Nicci’s arc throughout the series. Other parts not so much. I didn’t like the Omen Machine and there was one other book I really plodded through. Im absolutely on board with the criticism that his writing becomes redundant as the books go on. It’s not in the top ten of series I’ve read, but nonetheless, as an overall series, I enjoyed it. But as you can see by the downvotes, it’s just not a popular series. But truly my only point is read what you enjoy. Nothing wrong with stopping in the middle of a series if it’s no longer enjoyable.

Read what you like, not what Reddit likes. It’s popular to shit on the Goodkind series here on Reddit (I can’t recall it ever getting much praise, but people love to jump on the bandwagon once the negative comments start coming in). The series is slow moving on some parts and not so much in others. I personally loved the series.

Such an underrated songwriter and musician. I’ll upvote Warren anytime I see him.

I absolutely skimmed many, many pages of it. I’ll never argue the points that his writing becomes redundant along the way and many, many themes were borrowed (if not outright copied/stolen) from other authors. Nonetheless, overall I enjoyed the series.
