Confessor

Confessor, by Terry Goodkind
The politics seem to be fading away, but good lord the speechification is ridiculous. Plenty of opportunities to shorten things up. It's like he didn't want the book to be shorter than its predecesors so rahter than add more story, he just repeated the same things over and over and over... and over and over. Zoinks. This has been repeatedly billed as the end of the Chainfire saga. I wonder if that also means the end of The Sword of Truth. I somehow doubt it, though there are no obvious enemies left. I guess we shall see. I'm glad I read this series, if it is over, it certainly went through some lean times, but there was some good in it as well.
