Story
From the internationally best-selling author of the Sword of Truth series comes a new Richard and Kahlan novella. "They are the monsters under the bed when you are little, the shape just caught out of the corner of your eye when you thought you were alone, the shadow of something in a dark corner that surprises you and then isn't there. They stop you dead with a knot of unexpected terror in the pit of your stomach. I think that the star shift has brought us closer to their realm so that they now have the power to step into our world and hurt us."

Publisher's Summary
Onetime lieutenant of the evil Emperor Jagang, known as "Death's Mistress" and the "Slave Queen", the deadly Nicci captured Richard Rahl in order to convince him that the Imperial Order stood for the greater good. But it was Richard who converted Nicci instead, and for years thereafter she served Richard and Kahlan as one of their closest friends - and one of their most lethal defenders.
Now, with the reign of Richard and Kahlan finally stabilized, Nicci has set out on her own for new adventures. Her first job being to keep the unworldly prophet Nathan out of trouble...
Death's Mistress: Sister of Darkness will launch The Nicci Chronicles, Terry Goodkind's entirely new series with a cast of characters centered on one of his best-loved characters in the now-concluded Sword of Truth.

Very badly read
The story was great as always, but the actor reading it seemed to be reading it for the very first time during recording. Words misread such as Additive magic spoken as Addictive magic...her male voice used to speak for Nikki at times. The male characters all sound either pompous yet monotone, or of extremely low intelligence. I was disappointed, I generally prefer hearing a woman read a story, but this was nearly unbearable.

Narrator, are you kidding me?
After seeing all of the horrible reviews about this narrator, they used her again for the next book.... how is that possible? I absolutely will not get the 2nd book, because she is unbearable. So unfortunate.

Struggled to finish
Other than this being the most boring story lacking anything new from the author, the narrator interfered with the enjoyment of audio presentation. Do editors not demand that the story be read or at least reviewed before committing to digital? Mispronunciations, breathing control, character voice selection, intonation all contributed to a very poorly executed performance. I won't get the second volume, which to me is strange as I usually select audio books by the author, and Goodkind was one of my favourites.

Not the same without Richard
I had some trouble with this one. It's just not as enthralling without Richard as the main character. It had some good moments but I found myself easily distracted away from listening to it so it took a long time to finish. I actually stopped at one point and listened to a whole other book before continuing. I'm kinda sorry I've already bought the other two books in this series. I'll give them a go and hope it gets better.

Poor performance
A decent book with an interesting storyline, but the narrator has very awkward phrasing and there were several very obvious mistakes that spoiled the performance.

How could things get worse? Read on
In the Sword of Truth series, and its sequels, each brilliant solution leads to a more serious problem, until personal problems escalate to threaten the fate of the multiverse. For the most part, these escalations occur as readers transit from one novel to the next.
In this series, problems get worse from one chapter to the next. This is not a good sign. This follows the pattern of the song, "I Know an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly."
As well, the protagonists, Nicci, Nathan, and Bannon, lack the strong moral foundation of Richard and Kahlan. They've already made questionable decisions, and unnecessary tragedies have occurred.
I'm still going to read the rest of the books.

Great continuation of stories and characters
Nicci was one of the most intriguing characters from the Sword of Truth books and now we get to see where she goes after those stories and has adventures of her own.

Not recommended
I am convinced that this isn’t actually Terry Goodking writing and is instead the work of some amature ghost writer. The story offers no insight into morality or other issues of humanity and is a straightforward adventure with simple problems, simple solutions, simple characters, and a simple plot.

Pulled Me Back In
I am not one for writing long reviews. I was a big Terry Goodkind fan back in the day, and I decided to purchase this one on a whim just to see if I could get back into this world again. I was presently surprised at how often I wanted to listen to this recording when I was driving or doing a light work out or going for walks. It defiantly pulled me back in and made me run out and get the next book in the series as soon as I was finished.
