Confessor

BOOK REVIEW

Confessor

Terry Goodkind

4/10Written Nov 20, 2007Edited Jul 12, 2008

Confessor is a bad fantasy book. When I started to read this book, I knew that I wouldn't like it very much, but I read it anyway, because I wanted to see how Terry Goodkind ends his series.

The best thing about this book is that it's finally the last book of The Sword of Truth saga. Otherwise this book is quite boring.

I can't recommend this book to anybody. In my opinion this book is a waste of time. If you like Goodkind's earlier books, you'll probably hate this book.
