In their darkest hour, hunted relentlessly, tormented by treachery and loss, 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.
Stitchley's Rating:
I realize this going to be a bit longer than most of my comments, but with this book I think it would be hard to not go long. This book is one of the longest books that I've read in a long time. It is over 800 pages long. To be honest the only reason I decided to read it was because the TV show, Legend of the Seeker, ended and I was (embarrassingly) a little more than devastated. It was the first show I had gotten into in a very long time and when it ended I decided I would read the book. I really enjoyed the book too. So much that I purchased the next two on a whim... but I haven't read them yet because they look so long and I have been so busy with life that I just can't make myself start something that is almost as think as the Bible.The story is entertaining, complex, and a complete universe contained in a book. It is an amazing world of light and dark that is easy to relate to and draws you into the world. There is romance, action, good, evil, betrayal, about everything that you can find in any epic saga series.
It varies from the show, but the core components are still there. I wouldn't give it to any middle schoolers I know to read because it is a little too dark for that; this is not a Tolkien or Lewis kind of saga. I would suggest it to any of my friends who love to read though. I hope to eventually read more of the books in the series, but for now the size of them and my lack of time is just too daunting.
Instances of Swearing:
- Bitch: 3
- Even though there isn't very much swearing there is violence and physical abuse scenes in this book.
