Our view
“Confessor” closes the “Chainfire” trilogy and, with it, the long conflict with the Imperial Order that runs through “The Sword of Truth”. At over six hundred pages and eleven books in, it is written for readers who have followed the whole quest and want to see it settled. Some readers, by this point, find their attachment to the characters fading and feel the story has taken too long to reach its end.
