Absolutely Great Story.  I have read at least 20 books since reading this one, yet I can remember the detail of this one.  I know of a similar situation as the book, but there was not closure.  This book has closure that is both "heartbreaking" and happy.  A must read.

There is plenty of story for this series. I was surprised to find how well thought out the plot flows through the lives of well defined characters. I confess I couldn't put it down. Sentence structure is clean and complex. I will not give story details because I am a stickler for spoilers. I can tell you that if you contemplate the future and enjoyed 20,000 Leagues under the sea, you would like XVII

What an amazing story. It has become one of my favorite books of the new year ( its the 4th I have read) but it is also in my top 20 of all time!

The fact that this was ebook only didn't bother me since I am an avid kindle reader. As for the story itself, it was amazing. Some have complained in the past that some or Mr Goodkinds books can be political. While this one of course supports the belief that your life is yours alone and you should rise up and live it, the philosophy takes a backseat to the amazing story. I could not put down my kindle once I started reading it. You will be able to enjoy this story without any background in the SOT series. Though if you have read the series you will get a lot of enjoyment out of reading about the backstory of the first confessor and her wizard.

I would recommend reading this ebook even for people who are not Terry Goodkind fans. If you have ever enjoyed one of his books, it is a must read.

Perfect. I loved the whole story beginning to end. Very exciting read. Every time I find a great book it ends poorly. Not this one. I have never read anything from this author but since reading this, consider me a fan.

Great book! I couldn't stop reading. I really like the way the author writes. The story flows really well. I'd recommend all 5 of his books starting with Children to a Degree (Book I) and then Loyal to a Degree  (Book 2). I'm going through the series now and have read the first 3 books so far. I am ready to start Partner's to a Degree (Book 4) and then finish with Postwar Drifter.

I read all the 7 books one after another. A fantastic gripping story of 2 families with many enemies and how they overcome. Many words there are to describe these books. From emotional to joyous. Some stories made me angry and some made me sad. But if anyone wants a good read I recommend all the books. As it was a brilliant story. And thank you for putting them on Kindle

Definitely enjoyed the story. Great continuation for the series. I have enjoyed all the books in the series.

We can definitely tell the next book will continue the saga of Harakens against the Humans of Earth. Yeah, we could have wiped out that last earth ship at the end but the Humans would have come looking anyway. Letting them go is part of Future story plots.

One thing I would like the author to consider is to not use the "greater than" and "less than" signs in future books when it comes to the telepathy communication. Reason, the Kindle Drone voice actually translates these signs to the actual words. Example: "Less than at the beginning of the sentence and Greater than to end the sentence". It really distracts from the story. I am sure I am not the only one to turn on the Kindle Drone voice late at night in bed to listen to the story. Also consider "Bluetooth" connections in our cars. Same problem. I recommend the author find a "sign" not translated literally by the Kindle Drone voice.

Recommend the book to all.

I bought this before I discovered kindle. Loved it. Story is great. Kristen Ashley is a true artist who spins a story that will keep your interest days after you read the last page.  When the audible version was recently published, I purchased the kindle book so I could get the whispersync audible.  It truly added dimension to the story and was so worth buying.  It was like a new book.  Outstanding !  Well done Kristen!  I love her audible books. Can't wait for the fantasyland books to go audible.

This story is really great. Fantastic storyline. Since I am not fluent in French part of the conversations were lost in translation. I can hardly wait for the next book in the Trilogy. I really enjoyed the first two books! Thanks and continue with the great stories.
