Approximately 7 years ago i started a series that captivated me from page one. Many of you already know this series to be Terry Goodkind’s Sword Of Truth. (Its where I got the alias The Seeker from.)
Now, ten books later the final book in the series is out…. I cant wait to get my hands on it…… yet I find that i dread reading it….
7 years, many discussions (some heated), heart rending moments, bitter disappointments and great memories all coming to an end in a mere 300+ pages. It seems almost Surreal…….
I know in my heart of hearts that no matter what he writes … there is no way that he can end this series satisfactorily. All of these characters, especially Richard and Kahlan have become too intertwined in my own life….
If I’m honest with myself… I sort of hope (and fear) having such a relationship… I perfect melding of mind, body, heart and soul, unmatched by anything or anyone… Sigh *sniff*
I am really gonna miss those characters… Not to mention Zedd… who disappointingly has taking a back seat in these last books… Verna…….. <tear> Cara… life without Cara….. <sigh>
Yes, there is a small part of me that does not wish to read this novel, simple because it will mean it has all come to an end.
But read it I must.
And so it came to past that in the year of our Lord, 2007, Two series that I love greatly have ended :S
Farewell Stargate SG1 (in spite of the insipid piece of Sh*t writing they did for the last episode….. whooooossssaaaaaaahhhhh)
and Most painful of all;
Farewell Richard Rahl, Seeker of truth, Supreme ruler of Dahara, First Wizard, War Wizard and Kahlan Amnell, Mother Confessor, Leader of Midlands Council, Leader of the Ebanesian Armed Forces.
