Our view
“Faith of the Fallen” is the sixth volume of “The Sword of Truth”, built around a call to live on one’s own terms. That message heartens some readers and wearies others. Its critics find the book repeating what earlier ones did, or the hero growing preachy, and some gave up on the cycle soon after. At eight hundred pages and deep into a seventeen-book run, it is for readers already attached to these characters.
