Wizard's First Rule
by Terry Goodkind
First things first, just like Game of Thrones, I watched the show first. And I loved the show; I’m even rewatching it right now. But I will say, the show took it’s own direction, and is loosely based off the books. So don’t think they’re very similar, they’re not.
So, this is high fantasy, which means the book is enormous. 800+ pages, 820 to be exact. It’s very detail oriented, which is all means that can go on for many paragraphs, even pages. It is what it is. Get used to that.
The story is so long, I’m not going to summarize anything or really talk much about the story itself except for the necessary things that need to be heard.
Like this: the world building is amazing! And detailed, like I said. Terry Goodkind wrote very intricately when it came to describing rocks, trees, characters, their clothing. It can get boring pretty fast, but don’t let that dock you a reason NOT to pick it up. The writing is so good, it makes you want to keep reading.
