Prolific bestselling novelist Terry Goodkind’s new book, The Law of Nines, takes several half-hearted swipes at moving his franchise from the sub-genre of bland, derivative fantasy to the far more lucrative sub-genre of bland, derivative contemporary thrillers, and the results will of course please his long-time fans (who come, one suspects, pre-pleased) – and irritate and bore the spit out of everybody else. Despite the rollicking plot, Goodkind just doesn't seem nearly as comfortable in the straight-thriller vein as he does with fantasy. That changes during the final scenes, when he returns to what he knows best and starts to dish up more meaty fantasy. His writing becomes nimble, clear, dimensional. The author takes his time setting all this up, but once the story gets rolling, it's a gripping ride as the bad guys whoosh in between their world, which remains unseen, and ours. Fantasy and thriller readers alike will find themselves swept along to the final confrontation and looking forward to the next installment. THE LAW OF NINES is not nearly as intriguing or as captivating as The Sword of Truth, yet for a work that seeks to step away from a 15-year legacy, even if not a full separation, it serves to give Goodkind that room to stretch. It is an adventure tale that could either end with just this outing or continue on in further installments. Either way, it is a new mark on the Goodkind resume that readers can enjoy.

Turning twenty-seven may be terrifying for some, but for Alex, a struggling artist living in the midwestern United States, it is cataclysmic. Inheriting a huge expanse of land should have made him a rich and happy man; but something about this birthday, his name, and the beautiful woman whose life he just saved, has suddenly made him--and everyone he loves--into a target--target for extreme and uncompromising violence.

Er zitten ook een paar dingen die niet helemaal logisch zijn, dus dan trek je even een wenkbrauw op en denkt: "Hoezo?"
Dit boek maakt me wel nieuwsgierig naar TG andere boeken. ( )
