2 stars, it may be a bit harsh .. Lets 2.5 ... Personally, this volume resonates in me like a stab in the back of this masterpiece .. Completed masterfully in Volume 11 , this saga did not need on .. But I still welcomes the publication of this volume. I had hoped the resumption of a new rich adventure twist and bombshell! Well no. There's nothing going on in 350 pages and the end is more than sloppy .. It changes the 11 predecessors of this novel .. Besides I had the impression of being scammed me given the size of the police .. That say The thickness of the novel is illusory because for the same price (25th anyway ..), it was only half to read. Anyway, only endearing characters we love so save this lackluster novel .. The genius of Goodkind s seems to be blunt ..
