terry goodkind sword of truth series reviews

If his father had gone away, he would leave Richard a message in the blue jar telling him the latest news, some gossip, or of some sight he had seen.' About five years before, Richard had moved away to live on his own, but he often stopped by his father's home, unlike Michael, who was always busy and rarely had time to visit.

Richard's brother Michael, was a few years older, and having no interest in the woods, or Zedd's rambling lectures, preffered to spend his time with people of means.

'From a young age, Richard had liked to spend time with Zedd while his father was away. I found that Ursula Le Guin's works had the same effect on me. Rather than finding this spoilt the narrative, I found it healthy reading a book that makes you think about what the author is trying to say. It is evident that Terry Goodkind has strong political and social views that he is keen to get across in his books. This is fantasy that is definately aimed at the adult rather than the child and some chapters do contain quite graphic paragraphs of a sexual or violent nature. Terry Goodkind has created a consice, intelligent book that is believable from the start. Magic makes love stronger and despair harder.

The heart hounds are stalking the humans, blood sucking flies are abound and nowhere is safe. Richard Cypher holds the fate of three nations in his hands, he must learn the Wizard's First Rule to achieve his goals. Wizard's First Rule is the first book in Terry Goodkind's The Sword of Truth series.
