Finally Finished the Book - Meh.
Not a great ending. Nothing big happened. No real cliff-hanger. I am not at all surprised or depressed that the next book wont be a sequel from Terry to the Law of Nines. I may actually sell the book. I wouldn't read it again. It was good, don't get me wrong, but nothing in level to Terry's other stories.
Anyway. I beamed with joy when Alex said "I love you, Jax Amnell". It was great to finally be confirmed what I had thought very early on- Jax is a Confessor and descendant to Kahlan. So really happy about that. I also beamed when Jax mentioned the People's Palace. Was really great to hear.
I also loved when Alex and Jax camped out for the night. I right away thought Terry was in his element. That setting is what he loves, what he's use to. Describing the forest, climbing over hills, gravel etc. It had a feel of his sword of truth books because of that.
The big fight scene was ... ok. I was happy that Vandis, Caine and the pirate died along with many others. It was sad that Jax had to return to her world and leave Alex, but was happy to know that she and Alex got engaged. I was desperately hoping Alex could find a way to take himself into Jax's world, but instead, she's coming to his.
Not very happy with that, but there we go. This also opens up no sequel, at all! If Alex cannot go there, and Jax will go to Alex's world. There is no possible storyline, interesting enough, to last an entire novel. I'm glad it ended where it did because it is a nice fitting way to end the story. Both worlds are safe, everyone is happy. Happy Ending.
If he follows this story up, then cool, if not, I wont cry over it. I just hope his next book is better. I was quite let down with this book. But ho hum.
