The Pillars of Creation is a readable fantasy book, but it isn't very good. Although this book isn't excellent, it's a lot better than the books, which were published after it.
The biggest mistake in this book was that Terry Goodkind introduced a new character and wrote mostly about this character's adventures.
I'm not a big fan of The Pillars of Creation, but because it's readable and better than its sequel, I give it three stars.
