Publisher's Summary

Tormented her entire life by inhuman voices, Jennsen seeks to end her intolerable agony. She at last discovers a way to silence the voices. For everyone else, the torment is about to begin.

Richard Rahl and his wife, Kahlan, have been reunited after their long separation, but with winter descending and the paralyzing dread of an army of annihilation occupying their homeland, they must venture deep into a strange and desolate land. Their quest turns to terror when they find themselves the helpless prey of a tireless hunter.

Exploited by those intent on domination, Jennsen finds herself drawn into the center of a violent struggle for conquest and revenge. Worse yet, she finds her will seized by dark forces more abhorrent than anything she ever envisioned. Only then does she come to realize that the voices were real.

Staggered by loss and increasingly isolated, Richard and Kahlan desperately struggle to survive. But if they are to live, they must stop the relentless, unearthly threat that comes out of the darkest night of the human soul. To do so, Richard will be called upon to face the demons stalking among the Pillars of Creation.

Epic edge: listen to more in the Sword of Truth series.

I loved it

I love this whole series so much. I really like to do a few rereads as you miss things the first time around.

WORST NARRATOR EVER

The narrators performance is robotic and borderline unbearable. Terry Goodkind’s incredible storytelling is the only thing that kept me listening. Amazing book, once again.

Still an amazing series

Another great chapter to the story

Not only was the book great, but this performance was the best of the series so far. 100% recommend this version.

Surprisingly Enjoyable Story

I struggle with the narrator, he makes the women sound weak and whiny. Id love to hear these books redone like the Wheel of Time series.

But super enjoyed the story. Great characters and arcs. Was nice to step to the side of Richard and Cahlan's tale for a bit. Fill in some mysteries.

Average story, great narration.

To be honest, I was expecting much worse when I read certain articles about TPoC and Book 8 being terrible, it really wasn't bad. The storyline was quite enjoyable and was a bit of a throwback to Wizard's First Rule in that everything felt new again. There was an incredible amount of filler though, waaaay too much detail and repetition in describing thoughts and surroundings. All in all, by not paying attention through filler and loving Jim Bond's performance, I enjoyed this book.

Very Hard Work

What disappointed you about The Pillars of Creation?

Poor story following the previous excellent novels.

Did Jim Bond do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?

Found a little monotonous, struggled to listen for extended periods
