I think Law of Nines tanked because it was hyped as being something in a "completely new direction" from Goodkind; when in fact ... it was simply a Sword of Truth "mashup" with a contemporary setting starring Richard's and Kahlan's characters with different names. New non-SFF readers just didn't seem to be interested at all, and the rampant self-plagiarism falsely billed as "and now for something completely different" split his existing fan base right down the middle: half loved it because it was Wizards First Rule all modern "thriller-ized," and the other half felt betrayed by what seemed like a shady plot/character/philosphy recycling project.
