The Sword of Truth

Postby Show on Mon Jul 06, 2009 6:57 pm

As some others have toked this series with on the "Next best series" topic. I figured I would make a single topic for it. Granted, I do not have much to say as of yet. I just started book one. So here goes.

Though I must say, "the evil pod vines that bite you" opening was odd. Good, but odd.
I think that many confuse 'applicability' with 'allegory'; but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the purposed domination of the author.

Huh, sounds interesting. Make sure to keep on pouring in the feedback! It would be great to know if it would be worth to check out. always looking for a good book to read! :)

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.

Half way through Book one I had to return the book to the library. Timing and the short take out time available to audio books.
Frankly, at this point, I see no need to pick it back up. I dunno, the story just didn't hook me. I like some of the character and different elements, but all in all, Eh.
Just not feeling it. So that's one less story on my "to read" list.
