Rubbish - Rated 
First three books were great, all the darken rahl stuff was really entertaining. But it all went down hill from there, and ended in this pile of mush. I was highly dissapointed with the crappy ending, all that "oh you're not worth it" rubbish, FFS richard he wanted to ravage your woman beat the sh*t out of him!!! But no just loads of rubbish dialogue and a rubbish ending to what could have been a rival to other fantastic epics. Thank god im only 23 and i only had to wait a couple of months for this, as i only started reading the series a few years back. I think if i was older and had followed it for ten years plus like others i would be plotting assanitation right now.
And it started so well.... - Rated
This series started brilliantly and somewhere down the line began to take itself way too seriously. The amount of waffle by the characters in this book makes you think you are reading a play. The author seems to want to draw things to a close by making all of his characters give incredibly longwinded explanations to things that have happened in previous volumes. I am glad that this series has finished, the main character Richard starts off as an easy going sort of bloke trying to do the best he can and falling in love, it ends up with him preaching so long and hard about the virtues of mankind, freewill, and the tyranny of all those that oppose it that he actually becomes more annoying than the forces he opposes, who are doing the same thing from the other side!! He would have made Cromwell's staunchest Ironside seem like a card carrying member of the Stringfellows club! Give this series a miss, unless you have already begun - in which case I wish you luck seeing it through to the greatest anticlimax in fantasy writing history!

I like everyone else have followed this series of books, and like everyone else pretty much lost interest after book 5, but having read that far I continued to follow the other books in the hope that Goodkind would stop trying to preach his ideals and stop going over and over the same stuff and get back to the "magic" that he started out with. I have read about a third of this latest book and given up! I have no interest now on how it finishes and I am going back to reading someone who knows how draw the reader into a world of fantasy! Robin Hobb, George R. R Martin, Robert Newcomb to name but a few!
Oh, How dissapointing! - Rated
After reading all of Sword of Truth series, just can't describe how disappointed I was in the last book, if I read just how bad 'The Order' was and how bad things would be if they won again and again and again, groan. Lacked excitement, pace and an ending. Will never get sucked in by Mr. Goodkind again, if he dares to write anything again.
so bad - Rated
i have read all of these books, first five being the best. So i slogged it out until the end. What a let down. The end seemed so hurried, as if Mr Goodkind was in a rush to finish the story so he could get to the pub. Very disapointed.
