I am a Goodkind fan. Loved Wizard's First Rule, and loved most of the follow up books. Sometime in or after Faith of the Fallen, though, this series lost its way. The last three books (Chainfire/Phantom/Confessor), an ending trilogy, gave this awesome series the ending it needed. If you gave up on this series a while ago, pick up Chainfire and make your way through to Confessor. It's an ending that echoes much of what we loved in the first book, and neatly ties up all the loose ends.

It's over. I don't have to spend another minute of my life reading Mr. Goodkind's interminable pap. A good friend got me started on this series several years ago. He agrees that he owes me at least a good dinner for the lost hours spent trying to get to the end of this series.

If you want to read the original series this was ripped off from, look for the "Wheel of Time" series by Robert Jordan. If you want to read an even better written series, "Song of Fire and Ice" by George RR Martin. Both much better books and I don't know why Mr. Jordan didn't sue Mr. Goodkind for plagiarism. He had a case...

This audio read by Sam Tsoutsouvas represents the culminating conclusion of Goodkind's 'Sword of Truth' series and lends the professional actor's smooth and clear voice to this story of a rising darkness and free people who fight the descent of the world into a new savage era, led by one Richard, determined to save his world. An epic journey has been created, and collections which hold the Sword of Truth predecessor will relish CONFESSOR's powerful conclusion.

The abridged version of "Confessor" was excellent. This used product arrived in good time and in very good condition. The Box suffered but the discs were in very good condition. I enjoyed reading this book and the audio version deleted a lot of the digressing and sermonizing that I enjoy when I am reading. The story line remained in tact. It was all wonderfully done.

Excellent conclusion to a fantastic series. Makes me want to start over at the beginning, and read(listen to) them all again.MP3 format works great for long drives. No changing discs every hour or so.

I am a fan of the series and I waited a long time to see what happened in this story. The conclusion was average. So if you just need to see how the story ends then read this book.Confessor: Chainfire Trilogy, Part 3 (Sword Of Truth, Book 11)

The ending of the book was a huge letdown. I never once associated the Order with the Christian Church in the past. They seemed way more Socialist and Muslim with their extreme beliefs.

Now all of a sudden we find out that our world with medieval times and "churches springing up everywhere" is actually the Order's twisted anti-paradise they were condemned to live in, without "heaven and hell"?

Pure garbage and a big disappointment to see this kind of intolerant Anti-church propaganda in a fantasy series many enjoyed. I read all the books and liked it way better than the "Wheel of Time", inspite of all the stlen elements.

Wizard Rule No. 0: You can further philosophy without insulting others with prejudiced intolerance.

Solid conclusion to the Chainfire trilogy. It's still a little bit preachy at times but it had good action and brought back old beloved characters. All in all I enjoyed the way it was all wrapped up.

I really like these charecters and have endured the final books in the series to see what happens to them but really, someone buy this man a thesaurus, "I understand" "raptor gaze" and other repetative phrases not to mention the prolonged sermons, diatribes against the "order" and all too frequent recaps made reading this a frankly painful experience. There was very little charecter development other than Nikki whose charecter felt somehow unfulfilled at the end. Save your time and money.

This was bought for my son and he loves it. I knew he was looking for it so I purchased it for christmas
