Wizard's First Rule (Sword of Truth, #1) by Terry Goodkind My rating: 4 of 5 stars I really liked this book. Maybe it wasn't the best book I've ever read and some parts of it were rather gruesome, but I did enjoy it. It is a very classical fantasy, but I like those. The characters were interesti...

Firstly, Terry Goodkind, you are one sick bastard. Secondly, I have some things to say about you, both in your defense and in criticism of your book. Please allow me to start this (long, but hopefully entertaining) review by quoting what other people on this fine Goodreads have to say: "Terry G...

I've still not managed to get very far with this book. And I think at this rate it is going to end up on my 'never finished' pile. It reads a little like it's supposed to be for younger readers, but yet its not even on par with Harry Potter. And it's getting to be annoying that in one paragraph t...

I thought this book to be so inspiring. It's everything you want in a book. It has a journey, it has an interesting love interest, it has growth, it has surprises, it has moments that make you smile and moments that make you wince. I could go on and on about this one. A large book in an even larger ...

The TV series Legend of the Seeker introduced me to this book. I was intrigued by the Mord-Sith and Kahlan’s Confessor abilities. I believed the usual line of ‘the book is better than the movie/TV series’ and sought out the book.As I started to read this I was surprised by how weak both Kahlan and R...

My feelings on this one are very tainted by the show, "Legend of the Seeker". Characters in my mind looked like those on the show and not always what Goodkind described. Which I feel is a good thing, or at least can be a good thing.There were a number of elements in this book that I felt were dra...

New Testament style of epic fantasy.The TV series is slightly different from the book quelle suprise!. Goodkind initially endorsed it, saying that he had had a strong hand in the episodes then detracted this by latterly saying he had nothing to do with it, and any praise or criticism should be addre...

I've decided not to get back to this book. From what I can tell from goodreads reviews, the series takes a dive bomb into crap territory, so why push myself to get interested if it's just going to go bad? Plenty of other good series to get sucked into.

After watching a couple episodes of Legend of the Seeker, I became interested in the book series and had to pick up the first book.This book starts out OK. There's some action that gradually accumulates to more action as the story unfolds. The world is divided into three lands: Westland, the Midland...
