The Pillars of Creation

Sword of Truth, Book 7

By: Terry Goodkind

Narrated by: Jim Bond

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.

Detour!

If you know up front that the Richard,Kahlan, and the usual cast are not the main characters in "The PIllars of Creation" then the story is not dissapointing. They serve as the background story for most of the book until the last several chapters. This book centers around 2 other offspring of Darken Rahl, Jennsen and Oba. Rather then distracting from the series, these new characters expand and inrich the story. It starts off a liitle slow but worth listening to the end.

I would give 0 stars for the narration if I could

Jim Bond is a TERRIBLE narrator! The story is fine but this version of it is ruined. Eeuchh

too little too late

too much ado about nothing big build up little payoff. leaves you with just two new characters and no real story advancement

Don’t let negative reviews influence you

After reading the negative reviews on this book I was reluctant to purchase but I am so glad that idea. I feel that it is one of the better books released. At least this speaker knows how to pronounce the names of all the characters. I didn’t feel that it drug on as much as some of the previous boo did and I was never bored as I was in some of the other books. Great job Mr. Bond of Narrating This book.

It’s not about Richard

The book focuses on Richards half sister Jensen. 50 chapters roughly. It talks about the Rahl heritage and fills in gaps.
