Terry Goodkind, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the enormously popular Sword of Truth novels, the basis for the TV show The Legend of the Seeker, has forged another masterful installment with Faith of the Fallen, pitting Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell against threats to the freedom of the world that will take them to opposite ends of the world to defeat the forces of chaos and anarchy.
Emperor Jagang is rising once again in the Old World and Richard must face him, on his own turf. Richard heads into the Old World with Cara, the Mord-Sith, while his beloved Kahlan remains behind. Unwilling to heed an ancient prophecy, Kahlan raises an army and goes into battle against forces threatening armed insurrection in the Midlands.
Separated and fighting for their lives, Richard and Kahlan will be tested to the utmost.

Some interesting new elements to the story and characters here. I still get frustrated with the exposition and sometimes preachy. The characters just don't realize that they've already made their point. I keep reading through it because I want to know what happens, and the world is still unfolding.
I cringe to give this one 2 stars, as I started, I was still attached to these characters that I had really liked so far, but whose story seemed to be the same old drivel book, after book, after book. Faith of the Fallen was no different and after this installment I lost all interest in the series, and though I pushed through 2 more books after this, they were painful to say the least. I find it hard to find anything redeeming to say, other than if you have been following the series, you'll probably read this one just to find out how the characters are fairing, only to find that they aren't fairing much better than they were for the last 3.
