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 ...
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...
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.

Much more readable and linear than the monstrous Wheel Of Time...
Confessors, Seekers and wizards. Lots of new concepts - especially like what turns the sword white.Dialogue is generally very well done.V impressive first novel.

But you know, this is 836 pages long, and I didn't feel it. And with so many epic fantasies, god, I felt it! ...
This was one of my first forays into the fantasy genre (despite Goodkind vehemently denying that he's a fantasist). The only other fantasy novels I've read are both by J.R.R. Tolkien, and even that was years ago. Consequently, I'm not sure where Goodkind ranks in the pantheon os bestselling fantasy ...
"Wizard's First Rule: people are stupid."A classic rule that implies that people are gullible and will believe pretty much anything.Richard Cypher, a woodsman decides to help a woman in the Upper Ven near the Boundary between the Midlands and Westland unravels a greater problem that is plaguing the ...
