Alexander Rahl is a struggling midwest artist who gets an unwelcome gift on his 27th birthday: insanity. Or, at least, that is what everyone believes. His mother went insane at 27 and it looks like the crazies are coming his way.
This is a fast-paced adventure that follows Alex as he tries to save two worlds from a "different kind of human". Fans of Goodkind's previous Sword of Truth series that began with Wizard's First Rule will recognize the Rahl name. I'm pretty sure that you can follow this story if you've never delved into that other world, but I find it fascinating to read a parallel.
I will admit, I'm only thirteen chapters into this one. It's a hefty book, easily used as a weapon or a doorstop in a pinch. But it's killing me to wait until bedtime to pick it up again, and I may just neglect the kids a while. Kidding, kidding.
Kind of. ;)
