Well, if there's one thing Goodkind has done to me, it's he made me rather speechless. Great book, though I feel like he had a word count goal--which is fine, as long as I don't notice it. I notice many times where things were reworded and then reworded again, and then restated in a previous wording. This book was emotionally destabilizing, and I'm hard pressed to say if I want another to follow or not.

Omg! I’m so not “okay” after how this book left me! I already downloaded the next book because I have to know how they’re going to resolve this!

I'm torn on this one. It's a good book, but some terrible stuff happens. An emotional lead up to the grand finale.

Oh what a wicked ending and so so many times I did not see things coming and such a tear jerker was this one. Lots of triggers for me too but it was too good to put down

I do like this series. Well maybe not this series as much as the last one. Still I care about the people in this series. This book is too slow for my taste. You kept waiting for something to happen but it took a while to get there. Still I am probably to invested in these characters to give up on this series.

I've read all of Goodkind's work up to this point. I plan to read the two more recent releases as well. But I have noticed a drop off in how much I enjoy the stories of Richard and Kahlan. I think the fact that, in the stories, it has only been a couple of years since Richard left his home, a thin, young woodsman, is lost or forgotten. He now comes off as a superhero holier than thou type. I liked the books better when he was modest and simple. I see that the ordeals have changed him but he is almost invincible now, which makes things less interesting. Many of the characters we lived are gone and replaced with new ones who are not fleshed out quite as well. The plots are fine, but I miss the old settings and epic sweeping story arc. I feel like it'd be a good time for Goodkind to start over with new characters in a different time period. Maybe tell the tales of other Seekers.
Also, is it just me, or is everything explained to death?

Was a very good and entertaining read. The end is quite upsetting and I am screaming for the next book to see how the events started will play out. A few descriptions I felt were drawn out more than necessary, but they didn't take away from the story any.

Wow. This series really should have ended after Confessor. These new books feel like fanfiction...really bad fanfiction.
