Review of "Wizard's First Rule (Sword Of Truth)" on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I loved it. I bought it because it looked decent and was 5 bucks, boy, did I make a good decision! I can understand some of the lower starred reviews on the site but do not agree. This book does explore issues of good and evil and overcoming extreme odds (something that is highly prevalent through out the whole series). I have always been a sucker for the strong integration of swords and magic and this hits that spot! It does get a little weak here and there because Richard (the main character) seems to be above all which is something that i didn't like all that much.

This book started my reading fascination up again and it hasn't stopped yet! Read this book!
