I finished the last book in what I strongly believe to be is the best fictional series ever written. The ending was practically perfect (I had some personal preferences that I would have liked, but no big deal) and Goodkind did so well to tie in everything from the first book. I do apologize Jamie, but I felt that these last two books were truly brilliant. Phantom did an exquisite job at pointing the series to its ultimate end by answering several questions that have long since hung in the balance for the entire series (i.e., the story behind Baraccus, the true nature of the Temple of the Winds, the links between Chainfire, the Chimes, the boxes of Orden, and the Sword of Truth).
The last book then brought back that familiar element of "true love conquers all" from the ending of the first book, by Kahlan and Richard coming together again with their pure love in the last book. I honestly did not see that twist coming, but I felt it was a grand way to end regardless. Perhaps I did not see that twist because I was wrapped up in the other big problems that needed to be settled.
I either case, I am both happy and sad that the series is over.
Terry Goodkind, thank you for sharing your imaginative world of fantasy and making characters so real that I can almost feel their presence.
