I agree, the storyline after Confessor has seemed a shell of what the main series was. Still enjoyable but not at the level of the main series. I'm glad he finally wrapped it up though. They did get me my Richard & Kahlan fix, but I like that they now get to fade into legend where they belong. Their story can always be revisited when needed without more being added to it.

Now we get to follow Nicci around, which isn't the same, but is a better direction to take the tale in my opinion.

I take what I can get :)
