Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind
2.0

With the current popularity of fantasy novels, this one ended up falling a little below the bar for me. It's a decent story but I had a hard time connecting to the story and the events that the characters went through. The writing overall felt very flat. I started this book with the intent to read the entire series but I no longer have those intentions anymore - this is it for me.

If you are a fast reader then this novel won't seem as daunting but I read at a slower pace and I really struggled with interest and momentum. Particularly the parts that seemed very cliché, such as dragons and weird habits of evil people, the romantic interest. I can see why it's iconic. It felt dated to me and I just wasn't vibing with it.
