Publisher's Summary

*io9's New Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books You Need to Put On Your Radar This Fall

Set in the world of the Sword of Truth saga, the ramifications of New York Times bestseller Terry Goodkind’s Shroud of Eternity extend throughout all of the Old World as familiar allies, dangerous magic, and creatures created by twisted sorcery all work at cross purposes to either save or destroy Ildakar in Siege of Stone.

The Sorceress Nicci, the Wizard Nathan Rahl, and the young swordsman Bannon remain in the legendary city of Ildakar after a great internal revolt has freed the slaves and brought down the powerful wizards council. But as he fled the city, capricious Wizard Commander Maxim dissolved the petrification spell that had turned to stone the invading army of General Utros fifteen centuries earlier. Now, hundreds of thousands of half-stone soldiers from the ancient past have awakened, led by one of the greatest enemy commanders in history.

Nicci, Nathan, and Bannon have to help Ildakar survive this unbreakable siege, using all the magical defenses of the legendary city. Even as General Utros holds Ildakar hostage and also unleashes his incredible army on the unsuspecting Old World, an equally powerful threat arises out in the sea.

Nicci knows the battle won’t remain in the city; if she can’t stop this threat, two invincible armies can sweep across the Old World and destroy D’Hara itself.

pretty neat book.

I liked it, but I don't want to spoil any of it. since the review requires 15 words here is filler.

Amazing!

Such an incredible story! I recommend all of Terry Goodkinds books as much as possible. The voice acting is quite good as well. I love the uniformity for the entire Nicci chronicles on audible

Better than the first two.

While there are still elements missing and some characters are lacking, the story is finally getting more interesting. I struggled through the first 2 books in the Nicci Chronicles. This one was better.

bad audio part

I'm enjoying the story and Christina is great. But at parts the recording of the audio is bad. This makes me think no one listens to the recording once it's done. If someone did they would have caught the errors.

Well done.

After the first two books in this series, it felt good, but too simple a bit bland.
However, the Siege of Stones brings back to complexity and unpredictability of the Stone of Tears. However, not so deep philosophically. Still, a great tutorial for the visualisation, and learning different techniques and tactics.

The narrator is clearly trying hard, but Bannon is no longer a boy, and that has escaped her understanding, or perhaps a capability. Another disappointing detal, Runes is oftenly mistaken for Ruins. That apparently will mislead those, who are not attentive.

After finishing this one, it feels, like there will be at least one following book about Norokai and Utros alliance. Anticipating a real good philosophy, real human strong characters, the triumph of truth and lots of technical details including balance and harmony, is not unreasonable.
Good work Terry.
