Remember Wizard's First Rule? Wayyyy back when? Okay, now we have the freedom to go back and reread it over and over again knowing how the story (finally) ends. As much a relief to the author, I would think, as to the readers this is the final book in the Sword of Truth series and while it doesn't recapture the magic of that first installment it doesn't recapture the dry lectures of some of the later books either so all in all there is a balance.
All of the loose ends are tied up (though the conclusion left me with a 'Pam woke up and Bobby was in the shower' taste in my mouth) and the book is certainly readable (though yes, there is some lecturing, of course) and more enjoyable than some of the other titles in the series- you know the ones I mean. Definitely worth your time if you've stuck with it so far.
