When a character walks into a room in the series, my eyes glaze over as their outfits are described for the eighth time in as many chapters. The amount of pointless descriptions of shit we’ve read over and over (Kahlan’s green eyes, Richard’s golden WAR WIZARRRD cape, Mord-Sith red leather…) is truly stunning. Instead of an 11-book series, I’m fairly certain it could have been cut to about 6. While the first book was mindless fun, in the following books I have read ad nauseum about Richard’s Raptor Gaze, the word TRUTH pressing into his palm, his anger rising and magical RAAAGE surging, simply wanting to be a woodsman, oh I’m a War Wizard but can’t use magic, convoluted morals, and some other shit that my numbed brain can’t quite recall at the moment. That leaves me with 7 to go in the series. Now, since I have what I could consider mild OCD when it comes to finishing series, I have plowed through the books and am on the… 4th? book, Temple of the Winds. Remembering a series that my friends were going batshit for when I was living in Florida, I downloaded Wizard’s First Rule by Terry Goodkind. ![]() ![]() ![]() A while ago, I was surfing for books on my Kindle, and decided I wanted a Fantasy novel. ![]()
