Book Review – Sword Of The Truth

This book review is for the Sword of the Truth Series, by Terry Goodkind. Since my reading scope on the classic Fantasy genre is not very broad, I may not be the best source to rely on this for this book review. With that disclaimer thrown out there, I must admit that this is my favorite Fantasy series. As soon as I picked up the first book, Wizard’s First Rule, I was enthralled. I could not wait to read the second book, then the third, and so on (I believe there are ten books in total). The author has the most prized ability to make all of the characters incredibly real to the readers. Even the villains throughout the series seem to be alive, and I felt like I could understand their motivations. To me, that makes the “bad guy” a lot more intimidating; because they are so believable in what they are doing. There are more than one villain in this series, though they are usually presented one at a time, each new villain even more frightening than the previous one.
