I have finally finished this mostly terrible, sometimes entertaining, always opinionated epic fantasy series.

Confessor (The Sword of Truth, #11) by Terry Goodkind

December 16, 2020 by narfna 6 Comments

Nothing happened for 70% of this book and then everything happened at once. I’m still not sure how I feel about this ending even though I finished it back in October, but it feels good to be done! I started reading the Sword of Truth in the summer of 2009, and have now finished it in fall 2020. That is a long-ass time. I’m sad to say for the corner of the internet that has looked forward to my reviews of these books, I will […]

Only two more of these books to go! I hope someone gives me a medal.

Chainfire (Sword of Truth, #9) by Terry Goodkind

Much to my surprise, this was actually pretty okay! Aside from the painful writing style, of course. After the past two books in the series have been not great (#7 was almost pointless in terms of the long-term arc, and #8 was one of the dullest things I’ve ever forced myself to finish; I couldn’t even bring myself to write a review), I wasn’t really expecting much from this book. Prior books in the series, even if I didn’t really like them, were always at […]

This is a series I am still reading.

I have SO MANY THOUGHTS. For most of the time reading this book, I was pretty sure I was going to give it three stars. I haven’t given a Sword of Truth book three stars since the first one, which I read way back in 2009. (Knowing how the series turns out from there, I think that may have been an optimistic rating, and if I read it again now, I might round it down to two stars.) Then somewhere around the middle I was […]
