Wizard's First Rule (Sword of Truth, Book 1) (Sword of Truth, 1)

Wizard's First Rule marks the debut of a new fantasy writer. Truly epic in scope and filled with burning intensity, it is the story of Richard Cypher, a modest woodsman in a world achingly beautiful, alive with the joys of nature: a world the reader comes to love as fiercely as do Richard and those around him. Though a mere woodsman, he is the one destined to battle the ultimate adversary - Darken Rahl, an evil mage who bids to destroy all that Richard holds good and beautiful, dooming him and the rest of the people of Westland to a living Hell of subjugation and degradation.

I had watched the adaptation when I was very young and I had the book on my Kindle as a present from a friend, so when I started reading it, I couldn't shake off the feeling of remembering the story from somewhere, I just couldn't put my finger on it.

I finished the first book in the series and I was hooked. That's when I saw that there were eighteen (!!!) books in the series.. I knew I wouldn't read anything else before I finished all the books in there.

Richard and Kahlan are strong willed, full fledged characters, the magic is hooking and I got lost in the universe...

I will be writing a full review later, at some point, there is a lot to think about with this one.
