Product Details

Product Description

From AudioFile

In the concluding novel to his epic fantasy series, Goodkind ties up most of the plot threads while leaving some open for possible later exploration. Like much of the series, this volume is dominated by diatribes on the evils of socialism and religion. Despite this, listeners will be drawn into the complex plot twists and the final battle between Richard Rahl and Emperor Jagang. Sam Tsoutsouvas compels listeners through the story with a deep, stern voice that perceptibly softens when speaking the dialogue of women and children. Tsoutsouvas maintains a consistent tone and pace that align well with the book.

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

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so much closure, but happy it's over, Jan 29 2009
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 :)

2.0 out of 5 stars Utter Garbage, April 10 2009
I believe the people who rated Confessor with 4 or 5 stars must have been reffering to some other novel, surely not this trainwreck. Honestly I am so disappointed in not only the past 6 books, but the concluding book lacks everything you would hope for in a series closer.

**Spoilers Ahead*************************************************

I found myself (as I usually do) flipping forward about 10 pages at a time when Richard decides to go off on one of his rants. Goodness, I had no idea a kid from the woodlands would be able to preach as well as him with no formal training and little experience, not to mention he is so repetitive. Either way the short comings of the final book are anything but small. Remember our first wizard Zedd? Yes we all love Zedd, well in this book he is useless, continually he gets his butt kicked by Six and really does absolutely nothing productive. He seems more like Richards sidekick whom has nothing productive to say then a main character.

The book really doesn't get going until half way through and then everything is rushed. All the characters from the past make a one or two page appearance, we hear how our hero (who can do no wrong) has touched there lives for the better in some way or another, they kill someone offer their praise and move on.

And of course Terry needed to include "Pristinely gifted" into a few pages and if I hear "Ghosty Gobblies" one more time I will throw this laptop through the window. Oh and he just couldn't go one freakin book without mentioning that stupid goat Betty, how is this goat still alive, bleating and showing up everywhere even after Jennson is cptured by Jagang. I am sure the imperial order and the starving folks of the new world had plenty of food and could spare the life of this damn goat.

Anyway the end is awful, 7 sisters link together and have zero power, Jagang dies a boring death, Richard creates a new world and manages to cast every soldier of the imperial order there, oh and is the best Ja' lang or whatever its called player that ever lived.

Overall an awful ending and a disappointing series after such a great first three books. GLad it is over and I will NEVER recommend this series to anybody.

1.0 out of 5 stars Finally, an ending, however terrible...., Dec 7 2008
By Kevin J. O'coin "Bookworm84" (Surrey, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Confessor (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.
