Book Description

Release Date: Nov 13 2007 | Series: Sword Of Truth (Book 11)
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.

Review

"Makes an indelible impact." --Publishers Weekly on Faith of the Fallen
 
"Few writers have Goodkind's power of creation…a phenomenal piece of imaginative writing, exhaustive in its scope and riveting in its detail." --Publishing News on Temple of the Winds
 
"Highly recommended." --San Diego Union Tribune on Temple of the Winds
 
"Goodkind's greatest triumph: the ability to introduce immediately identifiable characters. His heroes, like us, are not perfect. Instead, each is flawed in ways that strengthen, rather than weaken their impact. You'll find no two-dimensional oafs here. In fact, at times you'll think you're looking at your own reflection." --SFX on Blood of the Fold

About the Author

Terry Goodkind is a #1 New York Times bestselling author. His books include the eleven-volume Sword of Truth series, beginning with Wizard’s First Rule, the basis for the television show Legend of the Seeker. Goodkind was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, where he also attended art school. Alongside a career in wildlife art, he has also been a cabinetmaker and a violin maker, and he has done restoration work on rare and exotic artifacts from around the world -- each with its own story to tell, he says. While continuing to maintain the northeastern home he built with his own hands, in recent years he and his wife Jeri have created a second home in the desert Southwest, where he now spends the majority of his time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Finally, an ending, however terrible.... Dec 7 2008
By Kevin J. O'coin
Format:Hardcover
It seems that the bread and butter of the fantasy genre these days are terribly long-winded series of very little content. In this regard I think primarily of the Wheel of Time, but Goodkind's effort is not far behind. Don't get me wrong: the first books of this series were superlative -- I was hooked from the first words of Wizard's First Rule, and it only got better until the series reached it's most thrilling point with Temple of the Winds. Unfortunately, the excitement nearly plummeted after that, with The Pillars of Creation being by far the worst of any of the volumes; and because it featured so little of Kahlan and Richard, it could easily have been taken out of the series altogether with nothing lost. Basically, books 5-12 were terrible -- a grossly over-hyped waste of time and trees. Confessor dragged on and on for hundreds of pages with very little content, and the staple of Goodkind's narrative (i.e. Ayn Rand's parroted objectivist philosophy) was here in spades, especially in Richard's final monologue. And what was with the whole anti-church jab at the very end? I had suspected all along that Goodkind had had a bad Catholic upbringing or something..... My advice would be to read volumes 1-4 and hen just stop. It will be a lot less painful that way.

1.0 out of 5 stars Badly in need of an editor Jan 26 2008
By C. Musgrove
Format:Hardcover
I got sucked into this series when I read Wizards first rule so very long ago. I thought the first two books and Faith of the fallen were excellent. Almost good enough to be worth the time and money I spent on this series. Other than that, Goodkind has totally lost the plot. Its almost as if he hasn't read his past books as he spends page after page recapping the plot from past books and filling with more of his preaching about freedom and how evil the order is etc, etc. The characters have become increasingly two dimensional (but always painfully beautiful,) and the same general story arc is followed with Richard losing Kahlan and his power and struggling till the last 10 pages when he figures it all out and it turns out the big bad wasn't so bad after all. We all would have seen it coming too if only we had remembered the Wizards rule of the day. Extremely monotonous, plodding writing style where if you didn't get what happened the first time, don't bother flipping back, just read on. He will explain it slightly differently another 10 times before the book is done.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so much closure, but happy it's over Jan 29 2009
By David Are TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Mass Market Paperback
It's a paint by numbers. If you've read at least the Chainfire series you know what's going to happen, I was only surprised once by this book. The rest I could smell books away, sigh.

I'd say if you've read all the previous ones so far, get this for closure and afterwards, please join me in saying..

WHY DO YOU KEEP REPEATING THE WORDS "THE MEANING OF LIFE"
Holy mother of moses! He must say it two hundred and sixteen times! I GOT IT THE FIRST TIME! "everyones life is sacred" oye! Whenever I read those parts I just wanted to rip the book in half because he repeats and repeats!
Rawr!
Horrible ending, but I won't ruin it for you :)
