#TERRY GOODKIND SWORD OF TRUTH EARNINGS SERIES#
I don’t really want to go into any great depths about the actual story, I don’t want to give away any spoilers (I mean, it is obvious that there are going to be a few battles, even a few deaths (there kind of has to be to end a series of this magnitude), but the real question is, who is going to win, because that is not a foregone conclusion. And it is quite clear in this story that Nesilia is not a happy Goddess.
The Authors have cleverly disguised these intolerances within the story, but the underlying themes of acceptance, that fear and hatred only lead to war (Yoda Tells us – Fear leads to Anger, Anger leads to Hate, Hate leads to the Dark Side, Hmmmm!!!). It doesn’t get bogged down in any great social debates or theological discussions, but the social and intolerances that plague Pantego are quite easily transferred to the real world. Whilst this book does go through all the required elements to meet a successful conclusion (and boy, I really mean it meets everything, the end of this book is worth reading the enter series for, just for this book alone, it is extraordinary, and you will find yourself riveted to the pages, foregoing sleep to see what happens to each of the Main Characters in what can only be described as one of the best endings of a Fantasy series I have ever read, it was not only inspired, but just outstanding), but as I was saying, whilst it meets this conclusion, one of the fascinating things about this story is the introspective nature of the story, the very clever way it explores aspects of not just the reality of the characters, but in a way, how their social, cultural, and religious norms relate to the ‘Everyday Real World’ that we live in as well. This is one of the best Epic Fantasy Series I have ever read, and I have to admit to having a fair amount of trepidation upon reaching this final episode of the saga – would it hold up, or was it going to pull a Game of Thrones on us? Of course, with someone like Rhett Bruno at the Helm, it should have been an easy answer, but add to that the skill of Jamie Castle, and Word of Truth unleashes hell on Pantego on us, with all the wrath of resurrected Gods waring against those of unspeakable power, throw in multiple armies of different races, led by every living (and some not) Main Character we have seen in this series. This is the 6th and Final chapter in the Buried Goddess Saga, in which the forces of Light and Dark will come together for one final time, and decide the fate of Pantego. He's on record as being generally dismissive of fantasy as a genre (even though he writes it) and he did his absolute best to get out of paying his cover artist for the latest novel.Best Ending to the Best Fantasy Series Ever!! 5.) Terry Goodkind died recently (Like, two weeks ago recently) meaning that the series will never actually be "finished". 4.) Each book is considered worse than the one before it, leading to general advice of "As soon as you don't like it, stop". These bring the general tone of the series down. 3.) As the books go on, there's significantly more of two questionable things that were present in the first book: Torture Porn and Ayn Rand style philosophies. 2.) It's generally considered that Goodkind was ripping off parts of The Wheel Of Time. It's got interesting magic, and the "farmboy saves the world" thing hadn't been played out yet. The high level summary: 1.) Wizard's First Rule is pretty good fantasy for it's era. Much has been written about him and his works, for better and worse. I would strongly suggest going on r/fantasy and doing a search for "Terry Goodkind". This book could have been shorter and so I guess that is for the whole series I slowed my reading in the middle and picked it up later. But the writing is a bit drawn out, some parts seem childish and don’t need to be there. My question is: I have 2 more books I’m lined up to read should I put them out of my mind and order Stone of Tears? Or should I take a break because this series is best spread out?Īlso to add, I liked the story of this book. Ofcourse the book is now grabbing me by the throat (like Denna would do) and has my attention. So I look it up and there are 11 more books to this series! Now, I am a dedicated reader but I have never read through something this long.
I read a lot so I am close to finishing (about 100 pages away) and could tell that there must be more than one book, especially the way the way he writes this book.
I found book 1, Wizards First Rule, posted on my friends FB page saying such good things (also it’s fantasy which is mostly what I read) so I bought the book w out much inquire. I have a favor to ask of those who read this series.
