Our view
“Phantom”, the tenth volume of “The Sword of Truth”, is written for readers already committed to this long saga of war and magic. Its nearly six hundred pages move the main story of the series forward. Some readers find its depictions of war and of human rights abuses gruesome and its doctrine heavy-handed, and feel the book only finds its pace in the last fifth.
