Book Review of Wizard's First Rule (Sword of Truth, Bk 1)

Wizard's First Rule (Sword of Truth, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 7 more book reviews


I read this because I am a fan of the TV show Sword of Truth, that was inspired by this world Terry Goodkind invented. Those expecting it to be a lot like the show may be disappointed. It's a very good book, and I compared and contrasted the two different stories(TV show vs book) while reading. I find both enjoyable. The book is rich with details of the Midlands/Westland/Da'Hara and has a lot more character development which in some cases seems very strange if you've seen the show first. Richard and Khalan are two very different people from my first exposure to their characters. Well written fantasy with complex characters. I am currently awaiting the second book in the series.
