As the series progresses it just gets worse with each book. The first few books were fabulous but when he started fixating on freedom and choice I got a little wary. I do not think I can handle much more of Terry Goodkind's brand of writing. I am glad I finally got through the last book, I just wanted to know what happened in the end! But, it was very, very painful listening. After reading subsequent reviews which were quite negative I still chose to purchase this title. I have been looking forward to the end of this series ever since I began reading The Sword of Truth series. I wish audible had a return program, i would gladly return this product and drink some magic potion that made me forget i has listened to it. Read it as its own story, then forget any other books in this series exist. It hurts, its painful, it almost makes me wish i had never ever ever read any of the other books in the series. I cant stress enough how often this book goes away from telling a story, and CONCLUDING a story, to this method or proselytizing from the author. Imagine every single chance any character has to talk to another character being a tired tirade about these themes. But imagine it happening over and over over and over and over. Imagine that speech about the evils of socialism/communism but about the sanctity of freedom of choice and life as a whole. Imagine John Galt's speech in atlas shrugged, if you listened to the audio book, the speech alone is almost 3 hours. I desperately wanted it to be good, as an end to the series i started loving when 'Wizards first rule' came out, however i was severely disappointed. I mean holy crap this book was just painful. I don't know if I could take another 30 minute diatribe about the sanctity of life and the abhorrence of despotism.

This isnt Atlas Shrugged, but it tries to be.
