Wizard's First Rule
by Terry Goodkind
This was...not good. The first fantasy book I've ever read that I really didn't enjoy. Is this what people think fantasy is like? Can we blame Wizard's First Rule for all the fantasy stereotypes?
I finished this a while ago and I'm trying now (a few months later) to remember something I liked about it. I liked the dragon? And the first few chapters weren't bad. But there's some bizarre, transparent S&M side story, and then the author gets all libertarian and "PEOPLE ARE SHEEP" and ugh. UGH. Nothing here is unconventional or interesting enough to get over the bad writing and the inane political philosophizing.
