Publisher Description
Terry Goodkind's bestselling, epic fantasy series Sword of Truth continues with Confessor.
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.

"Really liked this a lot (been waiting a long time to read it, so grain of salt if you must). It concludes (?) an epic story arc that I thought was several books shorter than it actually was (ignoring elements that reappeared from the first book in the last couple), beginning with the emergence of Emperor Jagang, which I would have thought was book four or book five, but was actually book three, and he is mentioned even in book two. So, if you want to be technical, the arc lasts the entire run of books one through eleven. In my mind, the first three or four books were loosely connected, and then the major story arc that was just concluded winds up, but in reality, so much of the groundwork necessary to fully understand this one happen in those first few, they are clearly just early aspects of the rising action of the whole tale. I think it's just that things started to gets so tense by book four or book five, and the stakes had grown so much, that I think of those as the true beginning. And the fact that he sustains that over eleven 600+/- page novels, and keeps amping it up the whole time. Kind of incredible. The only issue that I had with this, the reason it didn't get five stars, was I felt like he got repetitive in some of his preachiness about life and morality (not that I disagreed with the sentiments, but that it felt like he was repeating stuff he'd been over in earlier books, in this one as well, and even within one speech near the end)."

Confessor Listener Reviews
-
" This was a great addition to the series, very well read and easy to listen to. "
— Bridget, 11/7/2017 -
" Seemed to be a rush to tie up all of the story lines. After all of the buildup was disappointed by the RAPID end. Was Goodkind just tired of writing this series? It was an imaginative end but not what we re used to from him. "
— Ludicrous_larry, 2/19/2014 -
" Not sure this was the best book of the series but I love the way the heroes never feel like victims, always believe they have choices and are willing to both act on their own behalfs and help others. Great adventure books with strong, good heroes and really nasty bad guys. "
— Laura, 2/19/2014 -
" I absolutely adored this series right up until the end of this book. Without giving anything away let me just say the ending was a major disapointment. It made me glad there was nothing to come after it because I definatly didn't want to read it. "
— Nicci, 2/12/2014 -
" A wonderful end to a wonderful series. If you havn't read it, READ IT! It's simply amazing. "
— Branwen, 2/12/2014 -
" Amazing final for a wonderful series sword fo truth. I read that series breathless. I can't wait for the Omen machine. "
— Hasan, 1/16/2014 -
" The thing that Terry Goodkind does best is his endings. His descriptions of magic and how it worked and how ancient history is revealed to tie into his stories is what made his books worth reading. And, maybe I liked this one because it was finally over with this one. "

" LOVED THIS! The series has had its ups and downs but this finish was amazing! "
— Ashley, 1/14/2014 -
" I liked the last book in Sword of Truth series. It was a great end to a wonderful fantasy series I have been reading for the past 12 years. Don't get bogged down in his theorms because it can get real dry. But overall action packed, thrilling, and a heart warming end. "
— Perkins, 12/24/2013 -
" See Wizard's First Rule "
— Me, 12/3/2013 -
" At this point, I chose to continue reading 13 books (including The Debt of Bones) because of the characters, Richard, Kahlan, Cara, Nicci, and Zedd. I understand the message that Terry is trying to send but I think that these message is redundant a bit. I will miss these characters though. "
— Roni, 12/3/2013 -
" The final book in the Sword of Truth book series. "
— Angel, 11/20/2013 -
" One of my favourites, love the ending to this whole thing. Definitely a tear jerker. "
— Samantha, 11/8/2013 -
" This was a GREAT series....captivating, inspiring, well written, gripping, a can't put it down don't want it to end series that once you start you have to read all eleven. "
— Kathleen, 11/26/2012 -
" This was a very well thought out series. The ending was just right, and the story ended on the perfect note. A very dark yet uplifting series - it's really hard to describe, you'll just have to read it to understand. I'm ready for a new adventure with these characters! "
— Kathie, 10/1/2012 -
" Most of this series I didn't really enjoy. I think Goodkind got way to carried away. This series could have been cut in half if he would have left out all the recaps. But this book and the first book of this series, I really enjoyed. "
— Dani, 4/5/2012 -
" The bring-everything-and-most-everyone-together finale. Follows in the step of the other ones: a bit preachy, somewhat recipe-esque but pull you in with the writing. "
— Andre, 11/30/2011 -
" Possibly my favorite :) "
— Veronica, 7/1/2011 -
" I thoroughly enjoyed the whole series, and while some of the middle books prior to the concluding trilogy seemed to get too bogged down, the final trilogy was a good wrap-up to the series. I still think, however, that the best book of the whole series is the first one. "
— Mark, 5/13/2011 -
" Another phenomenal series...a must read. Incredible characters, sensual...just great! "
— Jerry, 4/28/2011 -
" A fabulous finish to an 11-volume series. "
— Julie, 4/25/2011 -
" I love this series but I felt like they dragged this book on and then hurried through the end. Still an awesome read! "
— Molly, 4/8/2011 -
" I must note, this is the only one of the series I decided that I did not need to own. "
— Grnathyna, 4/4/2011 -
" Disappointing, preachy and repetitive. I listened to the audiobook, and really enjoyed the narration, though. "
— Erin, 4/3/2011 -
" a fitting end to a life affirming epic, remember pp 722 & 756! "
— Helen, 3/31/2011 -
" (Tom)<br/><br/>Good vs Evil Life vs Death<br/>Richard(Wizard in training) and Kahlan(Mother Confessor) save THEIR world. "
— Toni, 3/29/2011 -
" The ending was a bit brief, but I was happy to finally get some closure after the previous two books didn't give me much. "
— Matt, 3/23/2011 -
" I am in love with this series and this is the Eleventh book until the final book comes out in August. <br/>I dont think I can wait that long! Terry Goodkind has me hooked. "
— Shirin, 3/21/2011 -
" I don't even know why he bothered to write it. Rarely have I felt so left down by the end of a series. "
