Book Reviews of Debt of Bones (Sword of Truth Prequel Novel)
Book Review: Debt of Bones is juvenile in writing skill.
Summary: 3 Stars
Rumor had it that the original Debt of Bones was written by an unauthorized party who was sued as a consequence, and Goodkind re-issued the book under his name. That would explain a lot about this book. If true, it was a compliment to the story line, but Terry should have re-written it in his own awesome style. (If he was the original author, after all, he should still have re-written it.) This short novel gives us some added history on the characters whom we have come to love, but it lacks detail, and is somewhat inconsistent with what we already know about them. Actually, this novella reminds me of the many Star Trek paperback novels that were written by loyal fans who were encouraged to do so and submit them through authorized channels, but who often re-defined some of the characters in small but noticeable ways, or who omitted well-established facts, etc. However, on its own, it is an enjoyable story and worth the short read!Book Review: Okay, but too short
Summary: 3 Stars
This "book" was only about a hundred and seventy pages printed in a type face that is probably twice as large as the other books in this series. I finished it in perhaps an hour, maybe an hour and a half.
It was interesting to learn some of the backstory of this setting, but again, I wish it had been meatier.
Book Review: Decent Book
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is ok for the hardcore Sword of Truth lovers, however it is much too short and doesn't develop the characters enough. In my opinion, it should have been written to the same length of the other Sword of Truth novels, because this one, although enjoyable to read, left me wanting much more.Book Review: Mediocre at best
Summary: 3 Stars
Personally, I loved the first three novels in this series. Now it seems that Gookind is doing nothing but churning out books in order to make his mortgage payments. This series should have ended 3 books ago. Please, just end the series so I can move on.....Book Review: reasonable.
Summary: 3 Stars
It is book crack--as addictive as the drug and it's only value is of brief entertainment. But it does that, for a couple of hours.
