PHANTOM

The second in the Chainfire trilogy within the Sword of Truth series continues to explore the effects of the chainfire spell, including the removal of Kahlan from the memory of everyone (almost) who knew her. Two story lines struggle to come together: Kahlan travels with the dark sisters through the villages that populate this fantasy world, struggling to remember who she is and daring to hope for escape; her husband, Richard Rahl, continues to search for her and to urge her friends not to forget her. Sam Tsoutsouvas provides an intense and nuanced narration. He moves with the flow of the plot and anticipates the drama and suspense of the confrontations and battles.
