Wizard's First Rule
The “wonderfully creative, seamless, and stirring” debut novel in the Sword of Truth epic fantasy series by the #1 New York Times bestselling author (Kirkus). Terry Goodkind’s debut novel, Wizard’s First Rule, was a phenomenon from the moment it was first published by Tor Books in 1994. In it, readers are drawn into the magical New World, where ordinary Westland forest guide Richard Cypher accepts his extraordinary destiny. As a Seeker of Truth, Richard is the only one who can stop the tyrannical wizard Darken Rahl from seizing the all-powerful Boxes of Orden. When the beautiful and mysterious Kahlan Amnell appears in Richard's forest seeking help, his humble world is turned on its head. After proving that he can wield the Sword of Truth, Richard knows that a confrontation with Darken Rahl looms. But Kahlan beseeches him to reach beyond his sword and invoke his inner nobility in order to face the dangerous challenges ahead.

This is one of my all time favorite books from one of my all time favorite series. Terry Goodkind is an amazing, creative writer. His world is awe-inspiring with excellent detailed descriptions. His characters are well fleshed out and grow and develop throughout the series.
The twist at the end is also very very good. This is a must read for readers who enjoy the fantasy genre.

I gave it 2 hours on the audiobook. Pretty cookie-cutter stock fantasy so far. The promise of finding out who hunts the woman with Too Much Power isn’t enticing enough to continue. The hazards of coming to old fantasy novels many years after publication, I guess.
