Editorial Review: Product Description: Descending into darkness, about to be overwhelmed by evil, those people still free are powerless to stop the coming dawn of a savage new world, while Richard faces the guilt of knowing that he must let it happen. Alone, he must bear the weight of a sin he dare not confess to the one person he loves…and has lost. Join Richard and Kahlan in the concluding novel of one of the most remarkable and memorable journeys ever written. It started with one rule, and will end with the rule of all rules, the rule unwritten, the rule unspoken since the dawn of history. When next the sun rises, the world will be forever changed. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Conclusion to a LONG sagaConfessor by Terry Goodkind is the eleventh, and final, novel in the Sword of Truth series. The series started back in 1994 with the book Wizard's First Rule. To conclude the series, Mr. Goodkind finished it off with a trilogy of novels collectively titled The Chainfire Trilogy. The final three books in this lengthy series are titled; Chainfire: Chainfire Trilogy, Part 1 (Sword of Truth, Book 9), Phantom: Chainfire Trilogy, Part 2 (Sword of Truth, Book 10), and finishing up with this current novel. ... Read More Rating:  - The Journey is Done and I'll Miss ItI've enjoyed the Sword of Truth books. Sure, some have been better than others, but the overall experience has been fun. This book wraps the two story arcs (the overall series & the Confessor trilogy) up nicely. Richard has come pretty far over 11 books and I wish it could just keep going. I'd like to see Terry Goodkind try his hand with fantasy again, but it looks like his next book will be a mainstream novel. If you've read the other books, of course you will read this ... Read More Rating:  - No Loose EndsFor the record, I could never be a professional reviewer because I don't break the parts down and analyze each one. That said, I really enjoyed this final book in Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. I first got hooked on the series after several of the books had already been written. Whenever I got to the next book, I "noticed" how he repeated facts and histories of prominent characters. I had wondered how people could forget those important details. This time, however, it had been almost 2 ... Read More Rating:  - Preaching, smugness, and panic aboundYou probably already know that Goodkind is preachy. I knew it going in and I can deal with that, even though it kills the feeling of the book. It does bother me that an author will go to great lengths to try and tell a story and wrap the reader into a different world, and then just totally bash the reader in the skull with childish monologues that go for pages where I guess we are supposed to believe that all other characters just patiently wait for the speaker to finish and reach their point. It doesn't ... Read More Rating: - It's over..... It's finally over!!!!I'll keep this short and sweet. Goodkind knows how to weave an intriguing tale, no question. Even if he is very repetative and formulaeic, it is still a great story with characters whom you genuinely care about. This last book was not a story, though. It's a manifesto! I have never read such a preachy book in all my years. 10 pages of monologue and 2 pages of action or conversation is not my idea of a good time. Goodkind took something that I thought of as an annual treat, and turned it into a poorly structured ... Read More |
