Well, on this I can't honestly take a high road. I never bought anything past the sixth book. I listened to seven and eight on unabridged audio. I despise Terry Goodkind and everything past book four I read because I enjoyed one through four. Looking back, I wonder how I enjoyed them but blame it on the inexperience of youth. And stupidity. Apparently I was very, very stupid.

But I can honestly say that after reading The Eye of the World I didn't waste my money on The Great Hunt. I have a friend who has read them all, including all the Goodkind books. He swears by them, even with the abysmal ending to The Sword of Truth series. To each their own I guess.
