Lovely writing. I found parts of the plot hard to connect together. The scenes sometimes felt quite disparate. I was reading this slowly over a number of months, I think this book would be better enjoyed of read over a shorter time span.

Review of 'The First Confessor: The Legend of Magda Searus' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I enjoyed it, but was put off with the amount of repetition. It feels to me that Mr Goodkind hammers you with a theme, there is no room for the reader to be in doubt about these things. By contrast other authors leaving me speculating about the hidden layers in their work, which I find much more satisfying.
