Last?

Confessor was very good reading and is a stopping place for the series. It will be interesting to see where Terry Goodkind will perhaps take this series now or start a new spin-off. There is almost always trouble in paradise. Now I can put this set of books into the "Been Read Shelf".

About friggin' time!

After reading first four books, I was excited that a new series was out that would keep me entertained (possibly) for years. Unbeknown to me, I was about to spend the next 13 years irritated by the preachy, holier than thou messages that were shoved into these books, seemingly with no regard to the reader (with the exception of book 6 which was phenomenal).

Confessor promises to end the decade plus of wondering if Goodkind was ever going to get to the point. He does in Confessor, and finishes the series well. This one is not as good as the first four, but Goodkind proves that he still has some modicum of storytelling left when he talks about the Ja'al games and some of the fight scenes. There are still droves of Objectivist drivel being spewed, but for the most part, the book ends the series well.

Readers that have faithfully stuck with Goodkind over the last 13 years will be pleased that the series is finally over, if you have not and are looking for something good to read, try the first 4, skip too six and finish off with 10 and 11 (10 is only so you understand 11).

The Good ones are:
Wizard's First Rule (Sword Of Truth, book 1)
Blood of the Fold (The Sword of Truth, Book 2)
Stone of Tears (The Sword of Truth, Book 3)
Temple of the Winds (Sword of Truth, Book 4)
Faith of the Fallen (Sword of Truth, Book 6)

Great Ending

I noticed several people complaining about the series and how Terry likes to go on these monologue type rampages. Well, I think this is a gross exaggeration. Sure, there were 2-3 times when I skipped over a page because it dwelled on the Order and how it sought to take mankind into the dark ages of evil and all that. So, I skipped over about 6 pages...the rest was joy.

There are certainly a few books in the series that were less than we all would have hoped for, but Confessor does a great job of wrapping up the saga and does it with page turning excitement. It has been so long since I read the first few books (the ones everyone agrees are the best), but I feel it is safe to say this is one of the best since. And, since it is the last book, which usually brings extra scrutiny, it is particularly good because it does not let us down.

Enjoy!

Good Read

At last! The final book of this series is an exciting page-turner, a worthy (although predictable) end for the 11 book Sword of Truth saga.

I personally enjoyed "Confessor" very much, and hope that Mr. Goodkind might be persuaded to set some of his future stories in this interesting universe of magic, love, and the political inevitability that results from the basic conflict between Good and Evil.
