Hello again, and it is now time to chat about my favorite books! I have read countless books, but only a small fraction of those numbers make my best read/re-readable list. Many of them include some rather popular books like the Chronicles of Narnia, Charolette's Web, and Harry Potter. This books vary greatly in action, suspense, and adventure, but each has a unique story that just excites me! These books, though, are put to shame by my favorite book series. It is not the Inheritane Cycle, and it is definitly not a book about vampires. It is a relatively little-known- it is called The Sword of Truth series. This book tells a story on a scale so vast, so powerful, so creative yet using familiar enough ideas that the reader isn't lost. The first book in the series, called Wizard's First Rule, follows the main character Richard Cypher as he helps a stranger Kahlan from being assasinated, and ends up being involved in a struggle to save the world from utter destruction/complete domination from the Cruel Ruler of D'Hara, named Darken Rahl. Now, this summary sounds very cliche, but the summary does not do the story justice at all. This book contains some of the most intense action scenes, the deepest concepts I have ever seen put into a fantasy book, some of the most intruging secrets and the most intense love story that will keep you on the edge of your seat wanting more. There are a lot of parts where there is merely discussion between characters about ideas, planning what they are going to do, and other important matters which some may find boring, but these parts of the story make the action scenes all the more intense, and allowing the reader to have a deeper understanding of the culture the world of Sword of Truth, and also gives the book a more realistic feeling- how many heroes can acually succeed without a plan, without being knowledable? This series, once you start will suck you in. As my brother once said to my friend "Don't read it. Once you do, all other fiction books are dissapointing"
Unlike my brother, I reccomend anyone out there to read it. BEST. BOOK.EVER
