I want to give this book 5 stars because it was such a fun read. However, I just finished The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. He is such a brilliant writer. In comparison, Terry Goodkind first book read like a young reader's book. That's okay, the story is worth it.

Susannah, now pregnant, has yet another taking control of her. …
As sad as this book is, I think this is the second best of the series, after the story of Susan Delgado. At first I hated the ending with Roland, but as I thought about it more, it makes sense. I was disappointed with how obvious the final showdown with the Red King was. This series was quite amazing.

One of the things I like about this series is that it's not just fantasy or sci-fi. When an author creates a new world that is either in the far future, on another planet, or completely new, there are certain limitations you have. Here, Stephen King has created a parallel universe to our world. He can use magic, technology, anachronisms, and historical references. It makes for a unexpected story and allows Stephen King to be very creative. So much so, that these books are very atypical for Stephen King, for the notable exception of the scene with the Haunted House. That was classic Stephen King.

Book 2 is so much better than the first. I actually care about the characters now and can't wait to to start book 3.

I've heard lots of good things about this series, but this book had a hard time keeping my attention. Starting book 2 right away with more hope.

I choose books in a wierd way. When I find lists of Best Books online, I'll open a tab for GoodReads and add each of those books to my "To Read" list. So, I had added this book a while ago. Then looking to switch from a non-fiction binge to fantasy, I started this audiobook a week ago, rather blindly, which is also typical. I don't look it up on Wikipedia until afterwards so that I don't shadow my opinions or expectations.
The first thing I noticed was that the readers of the audiobook was the same that did Wheel of Time. Considering how long it took to get through that epic, it was a wonderfully familiar pair of voices.
Now that I finished the book and looked it up... OMG, IT'S THAT BRANDON SANDERSON. No wonder I love it so. But AHHHH!!!!! There are only 2 books out of …

Now that I finished the book and looked it up... OMG, IT'S THAT BRANDON SANDERSON. No wonder I love it so. But AHHHH!!!!! There are only 2 books out of 10 released! As long as he doesn't pull a George R. R. Martin, I guess I can be patient.
But I am starting the second book right away.
