Query: "Yes she is"...."No she isn't"

Since Terry Goodkind's first book I have been a fan. At the end of each book I felt full, satiated from a huge bowl of his creative talent. However, the soup is quite watery this time out. Like his last effort we are staring at thin again. "Yes she is"...."No she isn't" is what the first 55 chapters are all about. Maybe this was some attempt at producing a cliffhanger element to the story. I am not sure. What I am sure of is that it brought the books story line down to the level of a soap opera. Start this book on Chapter 56 and enjoy the beginning of the story and skip the drawn out angst of the previous chapters. Thankfully this book has glimpses of the Terry Goodkind fantasy world so many of us came to cherish in his earlier works. Still, I will never give up on this author because I feel his best is yet to come.
