Chronicle Toward Books Wizard's First Rule (Sword of Truth #1)
In the aftermath of the brutal murder of his father, a mysterious woman, Kahlan Amnell, appears in Richard Cypher's forest sanctuary seeking help . . . and more.His world, his very beliefs, are shattered when ancient debts come due with thundering violence. In a dark age it takes courage to live, and more than mere courage to challenge those who hold dominion, Richard and Kahlan must take up that challenge or become the next victims. Beyond awaits a bewitching land where even the best of their hearts could betray them. Yet, Richard fears nothing so much as what secrets his sword might reveal about his own soul. Falling in love would destroy them—for reasons Richard can't imagine and Kahlan dare not say.
In their darkest hour, hunted relentlessly, tormented by treachery and loss, Kahlan calls upon Richard to reach beyond his sword—to invoke within himself something more noble. Neither knows that the rules of battle have just changed . . . or that their time has run out.
This is the beginning. One book. One Rule. Witness the birth of a legend.

Okay everyone. Below is my review from when I tried to read Wizard's First Rule back in 2007. I was fresh out of college. You know, back when you thought your opinion mattered. While I didn't personally like the book and couldn't get into it, I really went for it in this review. I now regret it. You don't really understand how difficult it is to write something good until you try and write a book yourself. It's taxing, time consuming, alienating. Sometimes you think you wrote something amazing,Wizard's First Rule (Sword of Truth, #1), Terry GoodkindThe Sword of Truth is a series of twenty one epic fantasy novels written by Terry Goodkind. The books follow the protagonists Richard Cypher, Kahlan Amnell, Nicci, Cara, and Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander on their quest to defeat oppressors who seek to control the world and those who wish to unleash evil upon the world of the living. While each novel was written to stand alone, except for the final three that were intended to be a trilogy, they
To be honest I started this book with certain bias.Because statements like:"The books I write are first of all novels, not fantasy, and that is deliberate; I'm really writing books about human beings."and"The stories I'm telling are not fantasy-driven, they're character-driven, and the characters I want to write about could be set in any world. I'd like to address a broader audience."I had impressions that he is smug at best(and delusional at worst) and he is unfamiliar with fantasy genre.I

I very much enjoyed this book! I only hope I can say so for the rest of the series Mel ❤
I ripped right through the book and all and all, enjoyed it. Here is some of my input: 1. I found that the story moved along well and that I was always entertained. The main hero is a bit Frodoian, and perhaps a bit Arthurian, but it is its own unique story and an entertaining cast of characters. 2. The story sometimes gets a bit twisted with torture, rape, bad guys who like young boys, overly bad bad guys. The training and torture chapter was beyond what I was comfortable with, but making it
Richard and Kahlen's Relationship Timeline:Day One:Richard: "Kahlen, now that we just met, we're the bestestest friends aren't we?"Kahlen: "We sure are."Day Two:Richard: "Kahlen, we're the bestestest of friends and I would give my life for you even though we just met."Kahlen: "Me too!"Day Three:Richard: "Kahlen, I love you more than life itself. What? It's only been three days? Well, that still seems sensible."Kahlen: "My sentiments exactly!"Days Four through 20:Richard: "Love, love, love."
*** 4.25 ***"...People are stupid. They will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true...."This was much better than it would seem when you first start the book. It is a linear story, no multiple POV's or constant action sequences, but engrossing nonetheless... Recommend it to all Fantasy lovers, but I think those new to the genre would enjoy it most!
