From Library Journal

The protective barrier that separates Westland from its neighbors to the east is about to fall, letting loose a monstrous evil upon the world. Only the combined efforts of a young man dedicated to finding the truth, an enigmatic woman intent on concealing her past, and a crusty old hermit resigned to his inevitable destiny can prevent the opening of the three boxes of Orden-an event with the potential to destroy existence itself. The inclusion of graphic scenes of sado-eroticism, though integral to the story, may deter purchase by some libraries. Nevertheless, this first novel offers an intriguing variant on the standard fantasy quest. The richly detailed world and complex characters will appeal to mature fantasy aficionados.

From AudioFile

Goodkind's first volume of an epic fantasy series relates the efforts of three friends to save the world from Darken Rahl, the sadistic ruler who seeks to control and possibly destroy the world. Dick Hill maintains pace, vocal characterization and emotional inflections throughout this long work. Accomplishing these with apparent ease, he uses voices and dialects appropriate to the characters and enables the listener to identify them easily. Graphic scenes of torture and sado-eroticism are integral to the story but may not be to some listeners' tastes. This is an engrossing saga, which leaves the listener looking forward to its sequel.

3.0étoiles sur 5 average(for the most part) read, Juil 5 2004
This review is from: Wizard's First Rule: Sword of Truth (Mass Market Paperback)
This series is alright, but the secondary characters tend to out shine the main characters. By the fourth or fifth book of this series the "what's right and wrong" theme becomes boring. The sixth and seventh books become preachy. The eighth, The Naked Empire, sounds like Rush Limbaugh, or some other ultra-conservative republican, using a fantasy book to defend the whole fiasco in Iraq. When I read fantasy I prefer an outlet of escape, not someones political views shoved down my throat for five hundred pages, or someone telling you your stupid for not having the exact same point of view as them. What starts out as an entertainig read with book one, ends up feeling like a Pro-war speech in a session of congress by book eight.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Not great by any means, Jui 21 2004
Par Anthony "mrwhy" (San Gabriel Valley, CA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Wizard's First Rule: Sword of Truth (Mass Market Paperback)
This book has seemed to have a polarizing effect on reviewers, to some it is the greatest work of fiction since Tolkein, to others this is drivel in the purest sense, the work of a pure amateur.

First things first, this is not a great novel. It is derivative, unimaginative, and full of stock heroes, stock villans, a stock quest, and every other fantasy convention you could think of. There is nothing original in the least.

However, I enjoy reading fantasy novels and do not have a problem with the fact that the story is neither original nor great. To be quite honest, the whole time I was reading this novel, I knew it was not "great" fantasy and I did not care the least.

If you are a fan of the genre, and looking for something to pass the time while waiting for the next Song of Fire and Ice novel, then this will serve. Decent, not great, but certainly not terrible.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Could have been much more in the hands of a better writer, Avril 6 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Wizard's First Rule: Sword of Truth (Mass Market Paperback)
I hate to really trash a book, but like many other reviewers, I found it derivative, inconsistent, and tedious. It seemed like it was someone's first novel... someone without any experience. The characters all seemed to speak the same way with the same dialogue... the child character was... how can I say... overly childlike, stereotypical. Everything was telegraphed in advance, such as the identity of the traitor, the 'climax' at the end, and so forth. There was really no writing style whatsoever... the kind of style you see in grade-school term papers. It was almost like the author had a bunch of really great ideas and he wanted to get them in print. You know the kind of person... "Hey, doesn't this sound cool? This is really going to be good!" You just nod your head politely and go on about your business.

The only reason I finished the book was to bring closure to the tale as much as possible. The only truly interesting part was the sequence with the Mord-Sith. Despite the unoriginal name, most of that situation was very good except as it approached the end of that vignette. Other than that bit, reading the book was like doing chores... you know you're getting some benefit out of it but you don't really want to do it.

I could go on at length about how tedious this novel was, but I won't. I'd say that if you accidentally start reading this book, go ahead and finish it if only for the Mord-Sith part. Otherwise, avoid this and find something written by a good writer.
