The book follows Nicci, a “Death’s Mistress” and a former lieutenant of Emperor Jagang who has since switched her alliance after being converted to the right side by Richard. I also had initial concerns about jumping in without having read the entirety of the previous series, but that was not a problem. And as things turned out, I did have a surprisingly good time with this. It’s been years since I last read Wizard’s First Rule, and it seemed a shame to potentially miss out on a good start to a new series especially when the author’s style or my reading tastes could have changed so much since. After my disastrous first attempt to get into The Sword of Truth series, I almost turned down the opportunity to read Death’s Mistress, but now I’m very glad I didn’t. To put it bluntly, I never thought I would read anything else by Terry Goodkind again. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Thanks to Tor Books for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
