Our view
“Blood of the Fold” is a fast, action-heavy third volume that widens “The Sword of Truth” to more viewpoints and a fuller supporting cast. Readers who follow the series for Richard and Kahlan stay loyal here, and the pace does not let up over six hundred pages. Some note that much of the plot is left open for later books, and some see here the first signs of the series losing its way.
