Book Description
Beginning with Wizard's First Rule and continuing with six subsequent fantasy masterpieces, Terry Goodkind has thrilled and awed millions of readers worldwide.

Richard Rahl has been poisoned. Saving an empire from annihilation is the price of the antidote.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Exciting read,
By Jerry "a sci-fi/fantasy lover" (Macon, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Naked Empire (Mass Market Paperback)
This story kept me interested and at least had the dialog well worked out. I like more action, personally, give me a good old adventure, battles, etc. I want excitement and thrills. This book delivered on some of those, but not all.Overall, if you like this series, you should like this one. **A book I would also recommend is The Unsuspecting Mage by Brian S. Pratt. This, the first installment of The Morcyth Saga is a great beginning for a new author. Battles, magic, gods, secret passages and intrigue, all the elements of a classic epic fantasy! Any fantasy reader will enjoy it. Also it didn't take 4-6 weeks to come as I had been worried about. Only about fifteen days. Still a wait but worth it!

Strong finish,
By Steve T (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Naked Empire (Hardcover)
I was struggling through out the first 400 pages of this book. It was going on way too slow and Richard could not stop preaching. Near the end of the book the pace picked up to the regular pace of the earlier books. Overall it was worth it, but i wish the ending came sooner so i didnt have to struggle through the first bit.

When I started Goodkinds last book in the series I could tell I wasn't going to like it. But about two hundred pages into the book I found myself suprised and actually ended up liking it a lot. But lately I have been busy and I found myself immersed in other series and haven't had the time to get the latest but after reading some of the "anti-war" people saying the book preached to much or hearing their inane rhetoric on why war is bad and how the USA is in the wrong and how Goodkind's latest novel was awful because he seems to disagree with them, I knew I had to buy it immediatley. I never understood how someone can read fantasy novels with themes like Good versus Evil, battles that bring out the best in men, justice, and honor but yet be such a coward and a pacifist in real life. To each thier own I guess, but if your going to read a fantasy book that has action packed battles, political intrigue and a good versus evil, us versus them viewpoint, don't cry foul when it doesn't much up with your timid lifestyle. Some of us actually fight for whats right.
