Remember Wizard's First Rule? Wayyyy back when? Okay, now we have the freedom to go back and reread it over and over again knowing how the story (finally) ends. As much a relief to the author, I would think, as to the readers this is the final book in the Sword of Truth series and while it doesn't recapture the magic of that first installment it doesn't recapture the dry lectures of some of the later books either so all in all there is a balance.

All of the loose ends are tied up (though the conclusion left me with a 'Pam woke up and Bobby was in the shower' taste in my mouth) and the book is certainly readable (though yes, there is some lecturing, of course) and more enjoyable than some of the other titles in the series- you know the ones I mean. Definitely worth your time if you've stuck with it so far.

I found the book to be as compelling as the previous ones. I would recommend reading the complete series.

This is the last book in the series, the conclusion. For my part, I thought these last few books seemed to mark a return to the action/adventure feel we had in earlier books like Temple of the Winds. Then the books began to get bogged down with philosophy [if I have to hear about magic and art one more time...] No matter what the author says, his books ARE influenced by Objectivism - not in a subtle way that would have been interesting, but in a knock on the head with a sludge hammer way.

Parts of Confessor are treated with this as well, but I already made my peace with it and just skimmed until I got back into the story.

For those of you who have read the other books, it is worth reading this book to find out the ending. This could have been the most awful there ever was, but I still would have read it to find out the fate of Richard and Kahlan.

SPOILER ALERT***************************










The only thing that really bothered me was how parts of the ending was left open ended, and made it seem like it could lead the way for a sequel with Richard and Kahlan. Apparently not...which really disappointed me, especially when what we got instead was The Law of Nines. Shudder.
