My favorite example is the Peoples Palace of D’Hara. I love how interwoven magic is at times in this world.
#TERRY GOODKIND SWORD OF TRUTH OLD WORLD MAP SERIES#
Richard did not have access to the knowledge of the Keep and a good chunk of the series involves Richard using his researching skills in libraries, trying to understand the magic at work. His grandfather, the First Wizard, left the Wizard’s Keep where wizards were brought up around the time he was born. Richard, like I mentioned above, is a wood guide. Oh, the MagicĪre you expecting a complicated magic system? Don’t worry, it’s not complicated. You would think after like 6 books, what new twist will come to the story? Believe me, I love them all, whether it is a temple that houses ancient magic wizards of old did not want anyone to find, or someone completely erased from everyone’s memory, or a witch born, to bring a nightmare to the world, characters who have no magic whatsoever… The roles and cast are abundant, the evil only manifests in newer forms, while we learn fascinating things about the past. This means the plot moves fast and always feels urgent. I mentioned this in my Rereading a series post with Ariel – Sword of Truth is a series with low character agency, plot driven by external events, and an unpredictability around the speed of the plot itself. I asked Clinton, “Why do we want to go back there to D’Hara and Midlands and the Wizard’s Keep?” With Richard, Kahlan will face many dangers, nightmares and wars that will define the world that they create together.
Actually, he doesn’t know that either for a while, but he is The Seeker of the Truth, carrying the Sword of Truth and a War Wizard, born with both kinds of magic. She meets Richard a wood guide who has the power to hold the world in balance like no one else. Kahlan is the mysterious woman who has come in search of the First Wizard. From the first moment, he knows he must help her despite the monumental forces conspiring to come between them.Ĭontent Notes for the series: violence, gore, sexual assault. When a mysterious woman, hunted by assassins, appears in Richard’s forest sanctuary, it starts a cascade of events he could never have imagined. BOOK 01 – Wizard’s First R ule came out on August 15th, 1994 and that is where this journey begins.
Below is an image of all the book covers from Terry Goodkind’s site and a short blurb of the first book. By the time you actually read the books, you would have forgotten them.
Note that there are spoilers in this gushing but don’t worry. To guide us, I used my reading experience criteria: world building, cast, immersion and plot. Thankfully, that did not stop us from talking about the series – what we loved about it, and why we want to stay in that world forever. Yes, I have read them all and he still has two to go. Sword of Truth is the series I think of because it was gift from my partner for our first Christmas, and I spent the first half of 2016 not only reading the series but also overtaking Clinton. Watching people gush about their favorite Fantasy books, whether standalone or series, has not only increased my TBR by many folds but also made me reminisce about the time when I could just read without thinking about writing reviews or meet deadlines. Inspired by Wyrd And Wonder, I decided to host Fantasy May on book-nook, my little Discord space.
