Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind

5.0

---

I've read this book twice - first time probably 5 years ago and second time a few months ago. So I'm trying to get off of what I still remember. I never got to finish the entire series, but I'm making sure that I will go through each and every one of them for real now! :D

I got into these books because of the show 'Legend of the Seeker'. The tv series was genius. Too bad it was cancelled after two seasons, but I can still get my dosage from the books. :)

I love how Richard and Kahlan are equally strong characters. They are natural born leaders and just perfect for each other!

Terry Goodkind has gift for writing. He is good at building up the plot and characters. He surprises you and makes you feel like...WHOA this is getting really good! I'm definitely sucked into Sword of Truth world.

One thing I love is that there are several references to real world politics and religion that go on in these books. The similarities are uncanny, but I'm not surprised at all if Terry Goodkind is one of those aware individuals. So he is expressing his beliefs through his fictional writing. I'm not sure how many readers will pick up on these references, but he and I resonate on the same wavelength, so I certainly get it!

I need to start the second book asap, because there are a dozen more books to go!
