Turning twenty-seven may be terrifying for some, but for Alex, a struggling artist living in the midwestern United States, it is cataclysmic. Inheriting a huge expanse of land should have made him a rich and happy man; but something about this birthday, his name, and the beautiful woman whose life he just saved, has suddenly made him-and everyone he loves-into a target. A target for extreme and uncompromising violence . . . In Alex, Terry Goodkind brings to life a modern hero in a whole new kind of high-octane thriller.Rating Out Of Books The Law of Nines (Sword of Truth #15.5)

I'm nervous about dipping into this monstrosity. The first couple of chapters have me looking at the back cover to make sure that I am, indeed, reading a work by Mr. Goodkind. The words dance across the page like a stiffly choreographed sequence geared to a specific audience. Unlike other Goodkind fantasies, this story seems a bit contrived...forced...???...whatever it is, I like the mystique of the lady with the "knowing eyes", and I hope the story takes on a life of its own in subsequentTerry Goodkind presents: Terry Goodkind's Glock of Truth novels.Once upon a time Goodkind wrote some pretty decent sword-and-sorcery novels. Not mind-blowing, not life-changing, but solid and fun adventure stories with some seriously superb world building and characters that I liked enough to follow to the end of the Sword of Truth series. Followed it to the bitter end, because my affection for the characters was the only thing that sustained my interest in an increasingly preachy and
I was keenly reminded upon finishing this book that I should have remembered my vow to never read Terry Goodkind ever again.
Terry Goodkind rushed the finale of his Sword of Truth novels... to write this?? I was really disappointed with Law of Nines despite the allusions to the novels I so love. I felt like the story was a direct parallel to Wizard's First Rule, except in today's world. However, unlike Wizard's First Rule, there was little character development in Law of Nines; I felt like TG was relying on readers to associate Richard and Kahlan's personalities with Alex and Jax. Their love seemed fake and convenient

First, let me say I was very disappointed in the Sword of Truth finale. I was first drawn into his Sword of Truth series because of the descriptions of the characters and the world that just made it all feel real. Towards the end of the series, though, the books seemed to be shallow. I continued to read them, though, because by that point I had to know how it all worked out for Lord Rahl and Kahlan. The last book seemed to be written as though TG was tired of the whole thing and had one more
I liked the first six books or so of Goodkind's Sword of Truth fantasy series. At first I found the characters and the world-building great. But while some authors (Bujold, Pierce) simply get better with successive books, others (Tom Clancy, Mercedes Lackey, LKHamilton) get bloated, self-indulgent, get tired blood. In Goodkind's case his at first appealing hero became the worst Marty Stu I have read in professional fiction, and his world-building, narrative and dialogue got more and more bogged
