One of the best series I have ever read and reread! Such rich fantasy! So sad that Terry Goodkind has passed. Highly recommend!

I don’t normally read fantasy, but this book was so incredible, I read the whole series and highly recommend them. Read them in order - it’s especially important with this epic saga. Each book builds on the previous one. I’m very…

VERY VERY well written. Excellent plot and character development. Nice long book, with many more to follow in the series from what I can see on orderofbooks.com . Though I could anticipate some of the plot, much of it was not to be assumed…

I recommend this book more for avid readers who like when books are long because they don't want them to end. On a re-read I realized I was skimming quite a bit, but I would look forward to certain chapters or interactions between…

This is the best book of the Sword of the Truth series. I loved this book. The rest of the series were okay, but the first is awesome

Seems like people either love this book, or hate it with a passion. I personally love this book. In my experience, read this book and you'll end up reading the whole series, even if at times, you end up wishing you had just stopped reading…

A great fantasy novel for adults. One of my favorite reads. The characters are mature and complex, but also witty, funny, and relatable. The world that Goodkind creates is so rich that this first novel does not even begin to do it…

This is a really good book, although it is definitally not for children. It's a little long, but so worth it. There's also a TV series based off of it called Legend of the Seeker, but unfortunately it was pretty average since it was…

I jumped into this book with little knowledge of other major fantasy authors and novels. Keep in mind that this book is over two decades old. I don't particularly think that makes the writing lacking,. Though I think it's important to…

Recently I discovered this quote from writer and literary critic Jorge Luis Borges: “If you like the book, fine; if you don’t, don’t read it. The idea of compulsory reading is absurd; it’s only worthwhile to speak of compulsory…

As a fantasy lover, I was so excited to get my hands on Goodkin’s so called “Masterpiece”. People tell me “Goodkind is better than Martin. He’s a fantasy master!” Let me tell you right now that Goodkind is the worst fantasy author I have…

This was an excellent book and at times I couldn't put it down (staying up to very late times during the night). My one note of caution though is that a good portion of the book is VERY dark and VERY graphically deals with torture, rape…

Sci-Fi's "Legend of the Seeker" was quirky and corny and almost ruined this book for me. I pressed through though and ended up enjoying the book enough to pick up the second in the series. I would compare it somewhat to Robert Jordan's…

This is a very long series, but the world is so intricate, and the cast of characters so compelling that you can't help but read them all.

your standard fantasy recipe - 1) unwilling hero plucked from obscurity; 2) complicated love interest that appears doomed; 3) traveling from point A to point B on an impossible mission; and 4) a gray-haired wizard who is part advisor, part…

This is a great fantasy book. The first several books in this series are excellent. I must admit that the series got a little slow by the 6th book. But don't let this discourage you from giving this Terry Goodkind series a shot. Also,…

This is a softcover book in terrible condition, but it has all the pages.

i thought the first book was excellent but by the time it got to the 6th and 7th book it was getting a little bland.

Big, bland, and boring. Amazingly, the characters were flatter than the plot. I've heard many great things about this book. I was terribly disapointed.

Super long but soooooo soooo good. I reccomend it as long as your not opposed to some pretty graphic violence.

I love this book, it is the best one out of the series. The series is worth the read if you can wade through the boring parts(I skipped them). If you like the book watch the tv show although remember that based on means same characters not…

This book, for me, was one of THE most amazing books I have ever read. This is, I feel, the best book in the series, but the rest of the series is completely awesome as well. His writing style and descriptions are fantastic and you could…
