Book review of The First Confessor by Terry Goodkind. 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

It was amazing even picking this book up again after 10+ years of first reading it, reading as if it was brand new and yet being able to identify where I left off. Incredible storytelling. So I read The Wizards First Rule first, and then this one came out and I remember the day I got this book at Half Priced Books. I was really excited about getting into a fantasy universe, this being my best friend’s favorite series, and slowly becoming mine. And then I stopped reading for whatever reason. 

“But in the end, we can’t live our lives by ‘what if’ and ‘if only’. We can only do the best we can to the best of our ability based on what we know. That’s why the truth is so important.”

Now picking reading back up, I find myself taking in the story just like I never left it, and I am really excited to be picking this book up again and starting to immerse myself in the Goodkind universe again. 

“The truth can seem awfully small and insignificant when compared to a mountain of lies.”
