Wizard's First Rule
by Terry Goodkind
Another series I had started because of the TV show. For a low-budget fantasy show in the early 2000s, I personally loved it. I was so excited to see the source material.
The book is entertaining enough. I will warn that these books contain a lot of violence, especially body mutilation, when it comes to female characters. I'm not a supporter of using rape as a literary device unless it really brings something to the story. This series writes it an unnerving amount, including a high ranking general who likes children waaay to much.
The female characters are also disappointingly created for the male ego. It was a shocking find because the women in the show were wonderfully developed and strong.
However, I do enjoy the world building. It contains quite a bit of original bits.
