Sword of Truth series

[CodyJohnson117]

Ever read Sword of Truth Series book by Terry Goodkind? It was really good book. I'm on end of his second book out of eleven book so far. Man, it is long. I'm just forward to see if someone had or are reading this book so that we can come up an idea to discuss just for fun!

I enjoyed the first six, but Pillars of Creation ruined everything for me. Since the seventh book its never felt the same and everyone with the exception of Kahlan either bores or annoys me.

Really... Hmm, that's sound sucks. I thought Wizard's First Rule was pretty good that he introduce background, characters, and it explain what Terry Goodkind is going to write the whole series. Well, did you know Spider Man movie director and Terry will might create a movie for 2008 or early 2007? That would pretty excited isn't it... Richard Cypher is pretty brilliant.

Oh dear, I really hope that doesn't occur. Goodkind is way too dense to be turned into a movie. I would like to see a mini series over a movie. The same I would say for the Wheel of Time.

I've never made it past book 7, and I've tried like three times. But I don't like Goodkind much really, I think the only good book he has written is Wizard's First Rule.

Well... that's what they said. They would probably see a mini series, but I don't know for sure. They only send one article overall. They will probably tell us more around in summer. Just hoping they will skip some nudity part.

Yeah, I bet Terry Goodkind got little too deeper didn't he?

I don't have a problem with deep books, I generally enjoy them. I just got sick of the thinly veiled anti-Communist rants and sadomasochist females. Also, the writing went downhill and I lost all interest in the characters. I felt like there was no reason to attempt to finish the series.

Yeah, it just made you feel that it's time to change different story or different book by different author, lol. Or maybe just because you are a female Just Kidding...

Maybe I just don't like wasting my time reading crappy books when there are so many good ones out there

That is pretty true. I also want to read different book such as left behind that I never read them yet or Brain Jacques series or author Sue Henry's book. Yeah... Basically, there is so many new books came out each week. Gosh. Anyway, I think Kahlan is sound pretty and most every man wants her, lol. I really like Richard's facial character. Sometime I had to go back and read some part of Wizard's First Rule book while reading Stone of Tears book. Its little bit confusion. Does that happen to you also?

-nods- So very true Nienor. I'd be interested in hearing what you've been reading since the disaster that was Pillars of Creation.

I keep getting tricked back into the series by friends who continue to find him original. I hate it but I'll probably end up finishing the series because it is so close to the end. Who know, maybe Richard will die.

Cody, once you get a feel for the way magic works in this world it stops feeling so dense. After the first book it gets simpler as Goodkind apparently finds it novel to keeping giving us one rule a book past the first book that seems to be the theme of the day.

Not too often, but I've reread passages on a frequent basis

George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire is my current favorite, though I also recommend anything by Neil Gaiman and CS Friedman. Jim Butcher's Dresden Files are also pretty great, though they're much more in the contemporary fantasy genre

I think its a pretty good series. I don't think I have read the latest book but a very interesting series.

 

[inzone]

great series

 

[CodyJohnson117]

Yeah... It just seem pretty hard to create a series like that. I wonder where he get those ideas from. Later, I probably will be reading Brain Jacqoues soon...

I really enjoyed it in the beginning but haven't read any since Naked Empire. I started to dislike Richard in Pillars of Creation and it only got worse in Naked Empire. The books seem to be getting kind of preachy, if that makes any sense, and to be trying to set one set of ideals above another. It might just be me but it seems almost like Goodkind started out with a great series then decided to use it as a vehicle for an agenda. That's the best way I can describe it.

One thing I always loved about the series though is how dense it is without becoming so convoluted and confusing like Wheel of Time did. I think Path of Daggers was the last WoT book I read and I was pretty lost in it because I couldn't remember all of the 500,000 subplots that have developed throughout the series that are just critical enough to require your attention for the whole to make sense.

Thanks for sharing... I still haven't read or continuous my reading because this is a spring break and I just never had a time to read, lol. Anyway, when I finish reading Stone of Tears and then Blood of the Flood. I might just stop there and try different series with different author, I guess. Maybe Brain Jacques because I heard lots of my friend said it's pretty good and entertaining. Have you read his series yet? It might be immature thing, but the author has something in his mind, brilliant.

I've been in a dry spell for reading lately but I've thought about trying to get into another good series.

 

[Christopher Fox]

I read the first few books. I agree with the earlier comment that Wizard's First Rule is the best book. For me, the whole thing became a little right-wing and .... well, weird!

I think the reason I persisted beyond the first book is that Goodkind is a very good storyteller. Even if his ideas are eventually unsatifactory.

God bless - Chris

I love the SOT books!! Their amazing!! At the moment I'm on book 9 I think and I'm still very much enjoying them!! Whoever says that they can't get passed a certain book oviously isn't trying very hard...

Yes some of the parts are boring but over all the good parts weigh out the boring parts...(at least in my perspective) If you can get passed POC (pillers of creation) then it gets a lot better again! but...yeaa I LOVE SOT and I can't wait for the mini series!
