Summary
An epic of awesome power from Terry Goodkind, the second installment of the bestselling series A Sword of Truth
Kahlan has at last gained the one goal she had always thought was beyond her grasp...love. Against all odds, the ancient bonds of secret oaths, and the dark talents of men long dead, Richard has won her heart.
Amid sudden and disastrous events, Richard's life is called due to satisfy those treacherous oaths. To save his life, Kahlan must forsake Richard's love and cast him into the chains of slavery, knowing there could be no sin worse than such a betrayal.
Richard is determined to unlock the secrets bound in the magic of ancient oaths and to again be free. Kahlan, alone with the terrible truth of what she has done, must set about altering the course of a world thrown into war. But even that may be easier than ever winning back the heart of the only man she will ever love.
War, suffering, torture, and deceit lie in their paths, and nothing will save them from a destiny of violent death, unless their courage and faith are joined with luck and they find the elusive...Stone of Tears.

good follow up book but narrator is horrific
If you enjoyed wizards first rule then you'll enjoy this follow up story in the series.
But seriously consider reading the story instead of listening to it.
There's a change of narrator, this is a bit jarring at first but ordinarily you could get used to it after a chapter or too (Dune changes narrator frequently and it's fine after a while). This narrator however is beyond terrible. He had a horrific, wooden voice and doesn't seem to have learnt how sentences are spoken. He pauses all over the place and never reads a sentence in full, his tones of voice used to represent certain characters are extremely off puting and don't seem to match the characters (Zed is particularly bad, Darken Rahl also ridiculous).
Thankfully they seem to have a new narrator for book 3.

Terrible robotic narration
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
This is a brilliant book, the strongest in the series in my opinion, but the only person to enjoy this narration would be someone addicted to text-talk handsets
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Ever get your handset or computer to read out a phrase to yourself? This sounded like Siri's less talkative and educated cousin was reading it, simply awful, I managed 15 minutes before deleting it. why change from the narrator of the first book?
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
utter disappointment
Any additional comments?
If you want an example of excellent narration try the Wheel of Time series, the narrators bring characters to life, this reading sadly was more of the nail in the coffin of the Sword of Truth series

Awful narration!! Not worth one star!
I love this book and so I was amazed at how such a great book could be ruined by such bad narration. The reader puts emphasis on odd parts of sentences and words making it unbearable to listen to. I gave up after 5 mins of hoping it would get better. I don't normal write reviews but I had to comment on this waste of a credit that I always look forward to using!

The narrator put me off.
I listened to the wizards first rule and I was very happy with the narrator for that book. I really wish they didn't change the narrator for the second book. By the looks of it there is upto 5 different narrators over the whole series... I don't understand the logic behind this.
Each narrator has a different style of reading and it's off putting to change narrators between books. I can't be the only person who feels this way.
All that aside I really enjoy this series.

Disgusting robotic aweful narrator
It's such a shame that this amazing story is ruined by a narrator who is so bad, robotic and incapable in changing his voice into the different character personality. If you buy a PDF version of this book and run it through a reading software would be better!
I want to know how the story ends so I will bear with it but I really had much higher expectations from audiobooks in audible.
Once again truly disgusting narration that is starting to make me sick every time I hear this annoying robotic voice!

Great Story, not the best delivery.
Love the story and it's many layers. The delivery is a little dull and unnatural however.

Excellent second book
This was a really good follow up to the first one in the series. Often the second book can be weaker, but not in this case. This really continued the story on, and took some original twists and turns. I've already got book 3, blood of the fold.
