This topic is open for discussion of Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind.




Book Synopsis:
The masterpiece that started The New York Times bestselling epic Sword of Truth


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.

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) I just have to finish it before Jan. 6, which is our Book club date, so you guys let me know when you want to read it.
BTW, I got it on audio, so it's like 34 hrs and 10 mins and book 2 is 38 hrs and 32 mins

But I LOVED the show Legends of the Seeker, and my first two avatar were Cara & Darken Rahl

Jex (jexball) | 2227 comments I've heard that the books are nothing like the show. I actually own most of the series but haven't actually read it yet. I will try to join in for this.

I've heard that too, but I was just devastated when the show ended. I will admit that I hope it's not as off as True Blood & Sookie Stackhouse.
The actors: I was so happy that many of them ended up on Spartacus. Mira, Darken Rahl, Oenomeous, Bartiatus, a few others I can't remember right now.

@Jex: i loved the confessor's dress as well and her personality on the show

Ezi Chinny (ezinwanyi) Dec. 10 is the 20th anniversary of my 18th birthday, so I am taking that week to chill so can we bump it a few days to the Dec 15th-ish? I should be recovered by then (hopefully).


✿~ٲԾ✿ (dmh1) | 5499 comments I can do 15th

Girl, It's great to still be 18! I hope when I get older than 18, I am still as fly as Betty White!

I think my mom will be quite happy with this phrasing. She was pretty bummed out with my younger brother's last anniversary :P


Abinormal I'm in!
This is my favorite series, so it will be a reread for me!
But I need to refresh for Jan 6th! It's been a good four, five years.

Kari (mazuka) | 427 comments I read book 1 and 2 of this series this past summer. If you decide to continue with reading the series, I'll join in on book 3! It is a great read!


Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5186 comments I read Wizard's First Rule in January/February of 2013. I was planning on rereading it soon and moving on to the rest of the series after, so this is the perfect reason to do so!

I also loved the show for two main reasons:

1- Kahlan Amnell is badass and one of my favorite TV characters of all time.
2- Richard Cypher's sexy body. RAWR.

Renee (reneeconoulty) | 3309 comments I read the whole series a few years ago and loved it. Don't think I have time to join this time, but have fun!

The series had a little story that wrapped up at the end of each episode and the stories weren't in the same order as the book. And of course, the book is better....so if you loved the series I think you'll love the books.

My favorite episode was when they had to work together against the Sisters of the Light. Richard tied him up but Master Rahl was still cracking me up.
