The masterpiece that started Terry Goodkind's New York Times bestselling epic Sword of Truth
In the aftermath of the brutal murder of his father, a mysterious woman, Kahlan Amnell, appears in Richard Cypher's forest sanctuary seeking help...and more. His world, his very beliefs, are shattered when ancient debts come due with thundering violence.
In a dark age it takes courage to live, and more than mere courage to challenge those who hold dominion, Richard and Kahlan must take up that challenge or become the next victims. Beyond awaits a bewitching land where even the best of their hearts could betray them. Yet, Richard fears nothing so much as what secrets his sword might reveal about his own soul. Falling in love would destroy them - for reasons Richard can't imagine and Kahlan dare not say.
In their darkest hour, hunted relentlessly, tormented by treachery and loss, Kahlan calls upon Richard to reach beyond his sword - to invoke within himself something more noble. Neither knows that the rules of battle have just changed...or that their time has run out.
Wizard's First Rule is the beginning. One book. One Rule. Witness the birth of a legend.

Anyway, the story itself is okay. It's a fun read, and this narrator has his own fun with it, too. I loved Scarlet's voice, and Princess Violet's. Zed was pretty good, too. The narrator definitely keeps the pace going, though even he seems to have trouble with Goodkind's often amateur writing. I hear the writing steadily improves, so I look forward to that later on.
Great narration.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I loved every second of this book. It was fantasy for adults with just the right amount of magic, violence and passion. It took some unexpected turns and kept me interested the whole way through. I can't wait to hear the next one!Loved it!

Terry Goodkind is a good author, and I say good because I think he has a few issues. I admire authors who, unlike me, can get right to the point of what they want to say while still painting a scene or enriching the story with action and dialogue. True word smiths. Honing their sentences to convey deep meanings in well chosen, selective words. Mr. Goodkind has a bit of a problem with being long winded (I guess there's no surprise why he's continued to write for so long haha) but he still makes interesting characters, wonderful dialogue and a very interesting story/world. While I think he lacks a little of the "magic" of brevity, I think he makes up for it in atmospheric emotional writing. He has a completely different tone that is unique to him. I think his 'ideas' are different too. Like his core concepts, what the characters push for, what they stand for. His writing is not necessarily perfect but it has a fantastical feel to it. It builds well. Some moments he really nails a weird emotion/vibe because of the strange scenarios he's made for his characters to be in. It's somehow refreshing, unique, somewhat iconic, and relatable at the same time. There are some things that I have to reference the Sword of Truth to tell people about and few times do I ever have anything I can equate it with. I don't know how many of these I will read but I still think this first book is a great book. It's definitely always going to be a part of my library.
Different Tastes, Still Good Story

But all told, Scarlet's part was a minor one, and didn't severely detract from my enjoyment of the book.
Perfect except the voice of the dragon
