I don't think i can finish this book. So depressing. I need Sullivan back 😭

Can't watch right now, but definitely will later. Thank you.

Interesting thumbnail .

Slow, plodding and boring. What killed it for me was the resistance of the character that replaced the poisoned man.

And thank you!

Are there any other performers then this lady and the Audible lady? They're okay but they're nowhere near as good as Nick Sullivan. In fact, i think he's one of the best voice actors ever!

Heavily inspired by Ayn Rand. A great book but a little reductive. We currently see the results of corporations and government unchecked. Zedds entrance into the war camp was super cringe.

Dream walker not dream catcher 😂😂😂😂😂

Kahlan is so insufferably stupid. She just gets worse and worse. On a brighter note, Goodkind is the GOAT! I am immensely enjoying reliving this whole story.

At the age of 2 he was to said have ......? What? It cut out

The Bantharans always speak like freedom is an evil thing, since they see the Order as exercising their want of brutality towards them as a distorted form of 'freedom'. Yet what they do not understand, which also is what we in our modern world folk do not understand about "freedom" is that this essence of wisdom is part of a greater whole of CREATION, in that without at least three other essences of wisdom, freedom itself cannot be observed as being a valueful essence that a human being can have. Freedom therefore at least requires that it is also observed with peace, harmony and love in order that freedom can be seen for what it is worth. For without love, harmony and peace, freedom cannot be seen for what it is. Take for example these Bantham individuals. Because they do not see harmony, peace, and love, for if they can observe this, then they could have found some other way to let Richard be on their side while also making peace, create harmony and have love, up yet instead they used a method that was unpeaceful, created disharmony and was unloving, by forcing another to do what they want. This same freedom is also can be seen towards themselves, in that if they cherish their lives, that in order for their life and their people to be protected and not be taken advantage of, a necessary form of barbarism was in order to protect themselves from the likes of those who wish to do them harm. So freedom, in the love, peace, and harmony towards their own folk, requires of them to protect their folk from such folks like the Order - who shows that they are not peaceful, do not want others to have freedom, do not have harmony amongst their enemies, nor even exhibit love towards each other.

When this was written it was seen as an entertaining vision of the future. Now we have the Internet, AI and computerised records of finance, health and a hundred other items of personal trivia. Sooner or later they will all be brought together for 'our own good'. Then we will have our own Multivac.

Is Scott Brick the voice that all those Ai voice videos are based on?

Thanks for download! I love this narrator. Now. To the book. Serouously annoying. Terry goodkind writes some things really well. But also REALLY BAD. That ending is a perfect example. The waffling on and on and on and…. Seriously shut. Up. We get it about the order. We already got it when you explained it 4 books ago. We don’t need 3 chapters explaining something that would be satisfactory on 2 or 3 paragraphs. Waffle waffle waffle. Yet he then doesn’t give a satisfactory ending to anyone but Jennsen of all people. Like WTF? Grrrrrr. Dumb. Not listening to next 4 books because I know two favourite characters die that shouldn’t die. And really, from what I have read, there is no point to them but to wrap up what could have take. 3 chapters max here. But instead he used those chapters to waffle wafffle over explain over explain waffle waffle.

Thank you 🙏🏻♥️🕊️🌟

One minor scientific error (not the extremely low population density of Trantor at 500 per square mile, despite the city being miles tall). Terminus must have some iron and copper in its soil if it has Earthlike life. Since the people there can feed themselves after the collapse, it definately does. I'm just assuming those levels are in the PPM range, and therefore "isn't a trace" was an exaggeration.

I miss Zedd.

This is my favorite channel to fall asleep to! Thanks!!

Who is Collin!?😭

Juvenile sense of humor cracked up for a snippet about 12 seconds long starting at 34:03 or so.

Could not have avoided calling this one Glee Club.

The plots are all so pathetic. His in-depth explanations are even more pathetic. But the plots 😂 So easy to break down though Oh look… the world is going to fall apart Oh yes, but look… a) I found this book (even against all odds it pops up just at the right time), or b) I remember this thing I found years ago (despite the impossibility of logic that’s n opposition of what’s been explained in-depth multiple times before) or oh look, I hand this power I never knew I had to save the world. So bad. But I keep listening…, even if I ten second jump about a third of it b

Why did it never occur to Nicci to kill Jagang? At this point, she had to know that she could easily do so and perhaps even escape afterwards.

Rules, established with reason and justice, easily outlive their usefulness as circumstances change. Yet can remain enforced through inertia. It is then not only right, but useful, to break those rules as a way of advertising the fact they have become useless, even actually harmful. 2:54:10

Jumpin' Jehosaphat! An agoraphobic attempts to solve the murder of an anthropophobic. Caution: contains robots.

Stuck in my head for a large chunk of this book: "Whalers on the Moon" from Futurama.

So far the only book that was pretty awful has been Faith of the Fallen. The other books are great, like this one.

Damn you Nick Sullivan lol. Do I have to come to the underworld to drag your a*** back to the world of the living. Just so you can finish what you started. I can't listen to this guy longer then 10 minutes. I will have to read the rest myself now. :(

Thank you. Jim Bond version is absolutely atrocious.

"I trust your abilities implicitly" negates itself. don't say that.

God Richards entrances with the invisible cloak is pretty cringy both times not going to lie.

I read this series when they were first published. Its been a treat to revisit them.

I’m a bit more weary going into my chicken coop at night. 😮

If this wasn’t a free audiobook, I would have quit 4 books ago. The writing is terrible. It’s almost good but it’s soooo verbose and drags on. I think he thinks he is creating suspense. But it’s just …. Blah. And honestly, how many times does he have to tell us the reasoning or the way or repeating what happened in previous books. Over and over and over and over and over…. Welll you get it. And then there’s the really weak plot with the: coincidental realisation… or the magic item that falls in to place at the right time…. or the look, Here is such and such arriving just in time to save the day. The stupid weird story with so many logical holes even though he spent chapters trying to fill up those holes with reasoning that include things we’ve never heard of but suddenly explain everything. And let’s not forget the naming of things.The worst of course being the Dominie dirtch. I mean really. It’s got to be the worst name of anything I’ve ever read. Does he think we are 5 years old? It’s just lazy. Not even going into his SA fetish which is so apparent nor his love of gore and torture. Just weird. But I keep listening. Only because of the incredible narration and because it’s a free book on KZfaq and I can listen and work as I don’t care if I miss bits. So thank you to this channel. I just had to rant.

so far, way better book than Faith of the Fallen!

2:19:45 How sad, the making of the Slith was formed. Knowing that (spoiler alert) she was made from a human being of a past era from those who knew how to use magic for their own ends. In a way this is, like some revelations revealed here like the journey book that so closely describes our modern day technology, a warning for us today in that in our mania for control and power, we through our technology may do things that may be closely related to the making of the Slith. One can see that with the advancement of higher technology and biology and the workings of the brain and nerve endings, that the knowledge gained may yield robots that are half human and half metal. This was unheard of a century ago and only seen in Sci-fi movies, but we are getting so far in technology these days that hooking up sensors into the brain may yield horrors that we have only seen in movies in past times. The tale of the Slith is just a sad story to hear. Yet if we do not learn the lesson that this has provided, this may prove itself an actuality in our reality because like the war-wizards spoken of in Terry Goodkinds book here, our modern day human being who wield such might are as inconsiderate to human life as those told in this book. So in a way, it is a lesson, or an advice, that we may need to be attentive of, if we are those folks who can create such things like the Slith - with our own form of magic, i.e. technology.

It does kill me that Kahlan continuously senses nothing wrong or off about the situations she is in. In the first book she questioned and was hyper skeptical of everyone. In this book she suddenly takes everyone at face value in the middle of a massive turmoil period and war. She also spends hours resting after using her power and doesn't use it again, despite also saying in the first book she could use it every hour or 2.... Great books overall but on a second readthrough some massive gaps in logic and consistency.

2:57:00 I’m not hungry. Show me to my dungeon, child. 🤣 💀

The first book of his I read was Intensity. His best in my opinion!

jeese half this book is a slog lol.

Where is the Larry mckeever version why has it been wiped from the internet I want the version narrated by Larry mckeever and I want the internet to stop being so shit

This particular section of the book was undeniably arduous.

There was a peaceful town called Lockridge Where people lived in harmony They never had no kind of trouble There was no hint of misery A mad adjudicator came to judge them He made them all to guilty stone Like anguished statues they were frozen 'til Nathan forced him to atone

I have long tried to construct a compact joke about a brave, black war mare named Coal Dare. Kol Adaire kept reminding me.

Richard should have just gone back to the woods with his lady and lived in peace. He got power hungry by my measure
