The Sword of Truth Series

Terry Goodkind is one of my favorite author. He wrote the Fantasy Series "The Sword of Truth". The series is a good and easy read. I enjoyed all the books in the series, next to Harry Potter. I must warn you that this series is not like Harry Potter, this is Grown-Up Fantasy. It starts with "Wizard's First Rule".

=> The First Confessor: The Legend of Magda Searus (2012) (Prequel novella)

1. The Omen Machine (2011)
2. The Third Kingdom (Summer 2013)

=> The Law of Nines (2009) (Related novel)

Terry Goodkind writing style is really good and easy, as the story goes it takes on a Fast pace. All his novels has a specific Philosophical Theme. He is also a Big Fan of my all-time favorite author Ayn Rand.

Every Books emphasizes a particular Rule called "Wizard's Rules". The first 3 of the Rules are:
  • “People are stupid. They can be made to believe any lie because either they want to believe it's true or because they are afraid it's true.”
  • “The greatest harm can result from the best intentions.”
  • “Passion rules reason, for better or for worse.”
Enjoy Reading the series guys !!!
