I last read the last book in the Sword of Truth series, Confessor. It was a happy ending, much like I expected (like most stories have), but it was still a somewhat unexpected ending. It was a good ending to a fantastic story. The Sword of Truth series will probably be my favourite for a long time. The last few books before the final one seemed to be kind of dragged out, as if the author had a contract to write so or so many books. But, it was a good read. I read it out in under 24 hours, so I guess you can pretty much say that that book had my full attention until I was done reading.
