The second book of the Chainfire trilogy and the 10th in the enormously popular Sword of Truth series finds Kahlan Amnell in a dangerously amnesiac state, able to remember only her name. She knows she does not like the four women she travels with, but she seems to have no hope of escaping--or of finding out who she really is. Meanwhile, Kahlan's husband Richard continues his desperate search to find the woman whom no-one but him seems to remember, before it's too late and she unleashes destruction upon the world.

I wasted a selection and HOURS of my time choosing this Highly-Praised 4 Star book...I guess I'll be more careful next time, not basing my selections so heavily on other members' ratings. This book seems like it was written by a 13 yr. old Dungeons & Dragons fanatic who's two greatest interests are cooking up elaborate Witchcraft incantations not into it, personally, but willing to read thru it in the hopes of a good plot line and conjuring up the most vile forms of torture and degradation and describing them...ad nosium...until the reader either liking this stuff, presumably satiates themselves or, as in my case, almost falls asleep with the inane, constant, boring, decrepit descriptions. There isn't much of a plot line, here, just Good Guys slowly plodding from one scene to the next describing just HOW bad the Bad Guys are. Hitler would've envied this authors reach for the morbid, though. If you're into that sort of thing, you'll love it! I've got better things to do then immerse myself in the suffering of fictitious characters if I have to listen to that much bad stuff, the STORY should be worth it...it's not.
