THE SWORD OF TRUTH: WIZARD'S FIRST RULE

Finally finally read the sword of truth!!! I am fully aware that I am a couple years too late to jump on the sword of truth band wagon. But hey nobody’s perfect.

Can you believe that somebody actually had to recommend the book to me?!?! As if a fellow sci-fi enthusiast could have survived for eight…oops nineteen years without discovering Terry Goodkind!

Yeesh I'm losing my touch.

Anyway if you have an inkling of my personality down by now this will come as no surprise…

I looooooooooooooved it!

So the story takes place in a mythical world that is full of magic… well part of it is anyway and the protagonist is from the part that isn’t. Richard is a woods guide (which is magical fantasy novel lingo for tour guide) and he’s been venturing deep in to the forest ever since the brutal murder of his father in order to find out any possible leads. 

It’s during one of these strolls that he runs in to Kahlan, who is followed by some questionable individuals. After the daring rescue Kahlan explains to Richard that she is from the Midlands (a magical part of the world) and she is here in Westland (the non-magical part of the world) in search of the great wizard who had gone in to hiding long ago.

Soon after the plot of the story - which is basically how the evil Darkn Rahul from  d’Haara (another magical place) plans to enslave all of mankind – is revealed. And what is a smart good looking protagonist to do when a girl tells him such a horrifying story?????

He decides to help her.

If you haven’t read the sword of truth yet I suggest you do ASAP. I already feel like the biggest moron on the face of this planet for not knowing about this sooner.

You know how when you are done with a book and you’re happy that everyone finally got what they had been searching for and now happily ever after was finally within their grasp? But at the same time you are also kinda sad about finishing the story and kinda feel like you have nothing else to do in life???  Anybody?

Nobody?

Just me then….humph.

Well you don’t have to worry about that because there is an astounding sixteen sequels to the sword of truth (though some of them maybe prequels I think) basically what I am trying to say is that I am going to be pretty busy for some time.
