In the aftermath of the brutal murder of his father, a mysterious woman, Kahlan Amnell, appears in Richard Cypher's forest sanctuary seeking help...and more. His world, his very beliefs, are shattered when ancient debts come due with thundering violence. In a dark age it takes courage to live, and more than mere courage to challenge those who hold dominion, Richard and Kahlan must take up that challenge or become the next victims.

Terrible dialogue and characters
Revisado: 01-09-17
I couldn't make it more than 1/4 through this audiobook. The characters are shallow and not all that likable. The dialogue is terrible. The author literally leaves nothing unsaid. Definitely a waste of a credit.

In his controversial study of America's giving habits, Arthur C. Brooks shatters stereotypes about charity in America - including the myth that the political Left is more compassionate than the Right. Brooks, a preeminent public policy expert, spent years researching giving trends in America, and even he was surprised by what he found. In Who Really Cares, he identifies the forces behind American charity.

It is not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters start to gather, picking over the bones of the dead and fighting for the spoils of the soon-to-be dead. Now in the Seven Kingdoms, as the human crows assemble over a banquet of ashes, daring new plots and dangerous new alliances are formed, while surprising faces, some familiar, others only just appearing, are seen emerging from an ominous twilight of past struggles and chaos to take up the challenges ahead.

No Roy Dotrice

Bring back Roy Dotrice!
Revisado: 07-07-11
This review is more on the narration than on the content of the book. 45 minutes in and I can hardly stand to keep listening. It's not that John Lee is a terrible narrator, I'm sure he's fine on other books, but Dotrice added depth and nuance to the characters, whereas Lee is overly dramatic and monotonous. In fact, it's often difficult to decipher who is speaking since Lee speaks in the same voice for every character. I know Dotrice's shoes are hard to fill, but the've got to be able to do better than Lee. He just isn't what we've come to expect from this series.
