Wizard's First Rule



Finally, I have finished this book! And I say finally, because this book is more than a story, is an addiction! I have finished it in less than 20 days, while I usually take my time while reading books.
The last days I've been living in a continuous suspense, longing for the moment I'll have this book back in my hands. Lοnging to know what happens next and as soon as I read it, something else happens and keeps this torture alive.

The last days I'm talking to everybody about this book; I am doing real life stuff and I am thinking of the main character of the book, all the things he has faced in this adventure and what is more to come and wondering how he will handle it and I am thinking of the things that puzzle his mind, and I hurt with his pain and I struggle with his throe and I ... can't help myself, I just can't take my eyes off it.

Wait a minute, is it really over now? Not exactly. This is only the first book of a great series of books 'The Sword of Truth', written by Terry Goodkind. He has very smartly placed the first chapter of the 2nd book in the end of this book. But noooo, I won't fall into the trap! I won't read it just yet. I am afraid that if I read some words more, I'm gonna want to read the next one too! Unfortunately, I have to wait for now till I go to the next one...but I do want to and I will read it!

If you like fantasy or RPG, then I'm sure you will love this book(s). This book very much reminds me of a D&D adventure. The main character, that looks like a ranger to me, has been put into an adventure against an evil wizard. Will he manage to defeat him? and how? with all these happening ..is he going to survive? Wizards, fighters, sorcerers, dragons and other mythic creatures appear in this book, sometimes to support him and sometimes not. Some of the pieces in this book are really gruesome. I remember myself thinking 'Do I really want to read this?'. But those pieces are part of the story as well and they do have something to teach you. Afterall, life is not always beautiful either. Only by seeing the cruelty in it, only then you can appreciate its beauty.

Dear reader, I think this is a book you would like to read, I recommend it!
