Totally absorbing. Couldn’t put it down.

This is wonderful series with captivating characters,action,adventure,drama,love and gut wrenching sadness. You begin to identify with characters, especially Richard,their struggles,pain, and joy.
I’m really sad to see the end of the series, but can’t wait til the next!

Goodbye Richard and Kahlan

Goodbye Richard and Kahlan Not all sequels have to be wars. Or soulish blood baths. Think about some trilogies like the others terry. Stories with more confessors kids and wizards Maybe a dragon again or two would be nice.

Great Ending

I enjoy a good conclusion.
Wrapped up the story in a great way. A lot of the extra explanation could have been left out because it got repetitive but enjoyable still.

Wow- this Omnibus was a rollercoaster! Warheart was difficult to want to read because of the expected ending (yay, I was wrong in my predictions!). I can’t help saying, I want more!

This set was entertaining enough to me to finish but I couldn't really recommend these as great books to anyone.

An Adventure of Epic Proportions

What a ride! This was an amazing series and the conclusion brought everything together as only a truly great author can. I would highly recommend to anyone in search of action and adventure, but be warned, this is no children’s fable.

This series is written differently from the other books in the series (from WIZARD'S FIRST RULE to CONFESSOR. In this series, the characters were not as forceful as usual. Seems Terry Goodkind changed the way he used to write.
Most people have read the series and know the characters very well, so repeating things over and over made it a poor read. Otherwise
I love Terry Goodkind’s books and must push myself on to read the next series. Maybe the next series is better.

This was the first long series of books I read. I have also only read a few fantasy novels so I started with Terry Goodkind. For the most part I really enjoyed it most the books were very entertaining. I have just started Death’s Mistress so hopefully it will be good. I really like the character Nicci.
