I've just finished reading The Blood of the Fold, and while I agree that he tends to go on a bit on occassions where I find myself wishing he would just get on with it, but that aside I'm totally engrossed in the Sword Of Truth!!
Apart from Lord of the Rings I've never been able to get into Fantasy books until now, and this was by chance after picking up The Law Of Nines and enjoying it so much I thought I'd give SOT a try. So glad I did, I've just picked up Temple of The Winds and can't wait to dive in.
