In the aftermath of the brutal murder of his father, Richard Cypher encounters a mysterious woman, Kahlan Amnell, in his forest sanctuary. She seeks his help...and more. His world, his very beliefs, are shattered when ancient debts come due with thundering violence. In their darkest hour, 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. This is the beginning. One book. One rule. Witness the birth of a legend. “Wonderfully creative, seamless, and stirring.” – Kirkus Review

From Library Journal
The protective barrier that separates Westland from its neighbors to the east is about to fall, letting loose a monstrous evil upon the world. Only the combined efforts of a young man dedicated to finding the truth, an enigmatic woman intent on concealing her past, and a crusty old hermit resigned to his inevitable destiny can prevent the opening of the three boxes of Orden-an event with the potential to destroy existence itself. The inclusion of graphic scenes of sado-eroticism, though integral to the story, may deter purchase by some libraries. Nevertheless, this first novel offers an intriguing variant on the standard fantasy quest. The richly detailed world and complex characters will appeal to mature fantasy aficionados.

From Booklist
In a classic fantasy world, young Richard Cypher must go on a perilous quest with the Sword of Truth in order to deal with evils that have a contemporary degree of ambiguity about them. On the way, he acquires the normal collection of wizards, dragons, and human companions as well as an equivalent roster of enemies. Both the characters and their world come to life, and Goodkind's ambitious juxtaposition of modern ambiguities and the classical fantasy setting works more often than not. Although a fairly self-contained story, the book has something of the flavor of the first volume of a saga; neither Goodkind nor his publisher will receive too many complaints if a sequel is in the works. Hardly an aspirant to Tolkien's mantle, Goodkind certainly seems, at any rate, to be working on being mentioned in the same breath as Robert Jordan. Roland Green
From Kirkus Reviews
The magical boundaries between the three lands of forest guide Richard Cypher's world are crumbling: Strange beasts from the Midlands, where magic still exists, appear in his Westland forest. And so does Kahlan Amnell, a young woman with some interesting powers and four assassins on her trail. She is in search of the great wizard who left the Midlands not long after he set the boundaries. He is the only one who can possibly thwart Darken Rahl, an evil wizard who has set in motion a process that will result in the enslavement of the three lands. When Richard's eccentric friend and mentor, Zedd, is sought out for advice about finding the great wizard, Kahlan identifies Zedd as the object of her search. The process that Darken Rahl has initiated requires him to obtain the three boxes of Orden, and, within one year, to open the proper box. As time grows short, Richard, Kahlan, Zedd, and a border guard, Chase, go in quest of the one box that the evil wizard still lacks. Among the truths that Richard learns along the way is the wisdom of the Wizard's First Rule: People are stupid and will believe almost anything. A wonderfully creative, seamless, and stirring epic fantasy debut. -- Copyright ©1994, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

An interesting blend
By D.L. Mains
This is my first review. Not because I don’t want to voice my opinions, but because most people will discount a review from someone who has never before contributed reviews. Sad, but true.
I have decided to start reviewing, not only to give myself credibility, but to help like-minded people find quality fantasy.
For the record, I am 70% through Wizard’s First Rule. I logged on to Amazon to investigate purchasing the next book because I found myself invested in the characters enough at this point to insure the next book was waiting for me on my Kindle once I reached ‘the end.’
In perusing some of the reviews, I found so many who have voiced some of my own complaints, as well as those who mentioned some of the star qualities of this book.
Complaints: The repetition. Wow, so often I had to swipe forward and then back, because I was reading the same exact thing…sometimes the exact sentence. Most of it involved the angst between Richard and Kahlan. More about all the ‘big’ secrets they were all hiding from each other. Even more about some of the descriptions…some creatures have yellow eyes, yet others have yellow eyes-but not quite the same yellow. Sometimes just beating the reader over the head with how evil Rahl is.
And then we get to read for ourselves how evil Rahl is. Lovely.
I also found some of the fight scenes very difficult to follow…as if the choreography was off.
The crying: Is this some effort of the author to show the reader the characters have empathy? The first couple of times it works, after that it’s like a cacophony of dampness.
Inconsistencies: The mud people tipped their blades in poison. Yet the knife that cut Kahlan didn’t kill her. The Westland army attacked Midland and Richard insisted it couldn’t be them, even though he becomes worried that maybe it IS them. Er, did the Boundary fall? No one mentions that it does, but they don’t mention that there is no way an army can attack through the Boundary.
Qualities: Richard’s cleverness. To me, Goodkind developed Richard’s logical thinking from the start, so his continued thought process has worked for me.
The Richard/Kahlan romance. This too, except for the “secrets and the angst” has developed at a good pace. Their dependence on each other seems real enough that the obstacles would not hinder their friendship.
The magic: I found it fascinating that each ‘type’ of magic user has a different mastery of a different magic. I think it added an additional level to the story…as long as you can keep track of who can do what.
Characterization: I think Goodkind did a good job differentiating his characters. His main characters have depth. A couple of his antagonist have depth…although most are just bad for the sake of being bad. I do have a problem with every male character (who is bad) wanting to rape the first woman he sees. The differences in each culture also has merit.
As I mentioned, I am only 70% through the book. Some spoilers have indicated things that I have yet to read. I am now unsure if I will commit to the rest of the series…and I LOVE long series’. I have read Wheel of Time about 4 times, so I am not a drive-by fantasy fan.
I have also read several of Sanderson’s series’ and most recently Karen Miller’s Mage books (which I found to be ‘meh’). I have NOT read Martin yet because I have heard that he likes to kill off his main characters (something that distresses me).
Anyone who reads this review and has some suggestions, I’d love to hear them.

I had mixed feelings about this book
By J. Maxon
I had mixed feelings about this book. When it started I was like, yeah, this is OK. Then there were some clear Star Wars like plot lines (Obi-Wan, anyone?). After that I just started getting bored with the journey. Still, I didn’t give up. I kept on. And I’m glad I did. The story took on a much more original direction, with some emotionally gripping scenes. This isn’t a love story, but there is a type of Romeo and Juliet tragedy entangled within. Some decent twists and interesting characters. Good questions regarding the power of love and hate. The price of justice and forgiveness. Keep in mind that there are scenes more appropriately labeled “adult” than “young.” Some mature sexual content and of course, the expected fantasy violence (does get a bit gory at times). Would personally rate it 18+. Overall, I enjoyed the tale and will look to read the second book down the road.

My all time favorite series! Thank you, Terry, for a great journey!
By norwaysue
I first began reading this series in the 90s and haunted the Fantasy aisle in the bookstore periodically until each new installment was offered. Yes, some basic elements are in the story (a must for the genre) but the premise and the back story details are quite unique and fascinating. I grew up watching swashbuckler and mythical movies on Saturday afternoons and pined for more stories of far away heroes and dangerous adventure that were not at all similar to my safe, suburban reality. Perhaps my youth was as shielded as Richard's youthful years in Westland. The Three Muskateers, Jason and the Arogonauts, and then the original series of Star Trek head up my long list of favorites. This series was a natural for me. It has been a few years since I read The Omen Machine so I will read it again before I read the next 2. I am glad to see several of the series made the New York Best Seller List. Right now, the book club I am in wanted a sci-fi or fantasy selection so I proffered this and am enjoying reading it again. Tonight I will discover if they liked it.
