Ok so the boxes of ord, were created to counter the chainfire spell,, a spell that was never used and only a thought experiment. why create an actual physical thing,, or three things to counter a thing that has never been real.

This is what happens when wizards have too much time on their hands.
It's very similar to nuclear deterrence. If everyone has nukes then nobody uses them. The knowledge to create a Chainfire spell was out there. The Boxes of Orden were the only thing they found that could potentially counter Chainfire. Nobody in those times were crazy enough to use them, but they knew through prophecy that one day people would be. It's mostly because knowledge was lost and so the respect for these spells was also lost. Re-listen to the part where they explain why Baraccus had to go into the Temple of Winds. That also explains why another counter was made for another problem. It's all about keeping the balance between the Underworld and the World of Life.
They had to have a counter to Chainfire, because they wrote it down. Also, they had planned to use it, so they would've made the boxes as an off switch, if you will, if nothing else
I have the Audible version of these books. There's no missing chapters. They both end in 58 chapters 3:34:57. Not sure why you guys thought so. The only difference is the End Credits, but that's cuz they're different narrators and versions.
23:52 ~ Armed Amongst Captures The first target should not be who just got unarmed. The first target should be Six. The Order might even reward such removal of a magic using Witch.
It's not missing. There's another book in the Chainfire Trilogy. The trilogy originally ended the of Sword of Truth series. I haven't read the newer books past that. I own them on Audible, but as I've explained in other videos, I much prefer Nick Sullivan over any of the others by far, but I can't find where to buy them in digital form.
1:47:00 Zed saying how he learned "a long time ago" to not bet against Richard. Yet the entire premise of the book is Zed not trusting Richard on Khalan. Ugh. Terry, your readers memories aren't that bad.
The plots are all so pathetic. His in-depth explanations are even more pathetic. But the plots 😂 So easy to break down though Oh look… the world is going to fall apart Oh yes, but look… a) I found this book (even against all odds it pops up just at the right time), or b) I remember this thing I found years ago (despite the impossibility of logic that’s n opposition of what’s been explained in-depth multiple times before) or oh look, I hand this power I never knew I had to save the world. So bad. But I keep listening…, even if I ten second jump about a third of it b
One of the most recognized story structures is the Hero’s Journey. It goes something like this…a hero receives a call to action, leaves home, crosses a threshold into a new world, faces adversity, achieves victory, and goes home transformed. medium.com/nyc-design/how-to-use-the-heros-journey-as-a-design-thinking-tool-c4901be5ce#:~:text=One%20of%20the%20most%20recognized,victory%2C%20and%20goes%20home%20transformed.
@@MundumVisum it’s not the basic story plot. It’s the way he weaves the story together. I’m now listening to the wheel of time and the timeless way Robert Jordan weaves in plot points and twists and turns is seamless. Terry Goodkind rams in new concepts and magical concepts just in time to save the day. Like “oh no I’m going to die… wow look here’s this magical item I’ve never heard of that will niftily save the day” Big difference.

Similar to physicists.
Many theorized splitting the atom would set off a chain reaction resulting in it burning off the atmosphere.

This is the discussion about research to take the boxes "out of play".

I thought the boxes were already in play...?
Multiple players can have the boxes in play in their name simultaneously.

Different narrators, sources, and editing.

This is an awesome book The ending is missing

Is there more to the end than Nick Sullivan read?
