I am the saga Sword of Truth from the beginning and now that this second great story starts (the first concerns the first 11 Tomes) I'm still looking forward to read more. The story is still as compelling and it's hard to take off of the book unless we win fatigue and our eyes are closed. Always so dark and full of suspense, the more heroes in trouble and one wonders how he will fare. However, the author had accustomed us to the stories of more than 650 pages, some volumes are even making 750 (in the same collection), so I find it a pity that this fantastic adventure ends too fast, we demand yet but it must wait for 1 year at a time :) All that to say that if you are still unsure, well you run a gigantic epic. The 1st Tomes are sold at very low prices so treat yourself to the first volume, superbly announced later but I warn you, once absorbed by the story, you can not do without .... sensitive souls : abstain though;)
