by Terry Goodkind Classic Fantasy and I've heard it's a popular series. Unfortunately I couldn't see the appeal and quite honestly, if it had been a new author I would have DNF'd. It started out enjoyable, making a few allowances for its era and the fact that it's one of the forerunners of tropes ...
Warning: This book features torture, rape and murder and is fairly graphic. It's also fairly lazily racist and while it's written from a female character point of view it's a lazy male depection of the character. Reading it was a bit of a train wreck, while I was a bit put off by some of the desc...
Once upon a time, I read Wizard’s First Rule and liked it. I wish I had left it at that, but noooo. I just had to get another Goodkind book, and it had to be this one. At some point in his career, it seems Goodkind stopped writing fantasies and started writing political and social commentary. But no...
Special Talents Make For Deadly Consequences This review is for an audio book version. Unique story plot gives this book it's strength. The protagonist has special talents, and the listener (reader) is drawn in with slow tugs revealing her true nature, and the imminent danger her talents present...
This is the good stuff. Epic fantasy with about as much patience with the "wait for the answers while I hint you to death" bullshit as I have, an uninformed protagonist that refuses to carry the idiot ball nonetheless, funny and wise wizard, and heavy hitter female (though I got tired of her "let me...
This is the first book I have read by Terry Goodkind, I really don't care for fantasy type stories, but when I was offered this one and read the blurb I thought, this is just my kind of story, scary, speculative type story. "For the past three weeks, John Allen Bishop had been keeping the devil c...
I've pretty much given up on writing "real" (read: semi-coherent) reviews of books that I don't have a commitment to review. It's easier to just tell you all the random thoughts running through my head, and my pure elation at having found a new Fantasy series that actually captured my attention. I r...
I've been wanting to read this for a while...finally got to it. I'd say it was worth the wait. Richard and Kahlan make for strong, likeable characters caught up in a battle of good versus evil against Darken Rahl (swear that's his name). Much more readable and linear than the monstrous Wheel Of Time...
I certainly wouldn't advise anyone to read this book before the Sword of Truth series, no matter what the author might have to say.Not because it might put them off - in fact, it probably will suck them in even better than the original first book did, because it's a fun read - but quite simply becau...
The eleven stories with in this first "Legends" anthology are by some of the best writers of fantasy and science fiction, both in prose and sales. Edited by Robert Silverberg, who also contributed as well, the stories range within their established fictional worlds from stand alone either connect wi...
