Stone of Tears - Terry Goodkind - Sword of Truth
Book 2 in this series starts immediately after the ending of book 1. We begin to see the relationship between Richard and Kahlan grow even further and even more complex throughout this book and the book focuses on the two characters trials and seperation from one another. Richard becomes more cold (and if I recall he continues to grow more cold and distant throughout the series), but this fits in with his roll as a war wizard (as well as a bit of an unstable emotions — Richard really needs to take some anger management classes).
Overall the book was good and continues the story along nicely. While a second book never has complete resolutions, they should have some on some minor plot points….this one does, but it seems that things were wrapped up simply because of page count. While I hate to say this on an 11 book series, there are many points in this book that I think could have been expanded on and ideas and thoughts delved into a bit deeper. Having said that, a very well written book and still pretty quick read. 8/10
