Wizard First Rule: in the finest tradition of fantasy ... Back

remember the recipe Winning an epic fantasy novel: a hero living in a relatively rural (preferably muscle), the medieval era, a magician, a circle of friends of powers and / or complementary knowledge and the hero villain trying to appease the world with its balance of demonic creatures. Terry Goodkind knew her well in this recipe and made a lucrative series named in French The Sword of Truth (Sword of Truth) sold 60,000 copies.

Richard Cypher is a forest guide aspiring only to a simple life. Being in search of a plant in the forest for solving the murder of his father, he meets Kalhan. She is pretty and pursued by several men. Listening only to his courage, he goes to his rescue. What Richard does not know is that the Mother Confessor is Kalhan (Mother Confessor) and possesses the power to get out of trouble. From that moment events tumble. He will discover that Zed, his best friend is actually a wizard and scope of work of his friend Chase. In their three, they will go the way of danger to rid the world of the tyrant Darken Rahl. And of course, is Richard who will save him.

The characters are very stereotypical, which serves Sometimes the story and it also hurts. It is useful to have a magician to extricate himself, to explain the workings of Middle-earth (Midlands), to get clues. However, when these explanations are long, we landed. It's the same for Richard, we discover early on that she likes to understand and reason, he wants to know why his father died. It makes the possessor of the sword of truth, he will have to look how to get rid of Darken Rahl. When he analyzes the situation, there are moments where he does not understand and it irritates us and another where it is found quite quickly.

Although the names of places and creatures series are rather typical Goodkind innovates still a bit type. For example, much of the novel is returned to us in the head the lesson: people are stupid. "We need something to believe and we do anything when you believe." Goodkind, also creates rules that make us smile like the hierarchy of women related to the length of hair. The border area made the world of the dead are an interesting fact. His conception of magic is also different from what I saw in most of the authors. For he must suffer for Goodkind mastery of magic.

The novel is long, I do not know how many pages (I've read on my Kindle), but it's rare that I put so much time to read a book. There are many lengths. Although Rachel brings a fresh, she also brings a few laps. So is the description of the torture of the boy by Rahl and the passage in Mudd People stretching unnecessarily.

is a good first novel. I do not recommend it for young people under the age of 15-16 years since the passage in which Richard is among Denna is quite "hard", but as introductory style is good. In general, a novel proper. I enjoyed my reading in the vast majority of the book.

I do not know yet if I will read the second or even get into this series because it has 12 pounds (the 12th due out in early 2011 in English).
