ByPublisher Description
The “wonderfully creative, seamless, and stirring” debut novel in the Sword of Truth epic fantasy series by the #1 New York Times bestselling author (Kirkus).

“I'm not gonna lie, it helped that I have watched to TV show before reading. I felt the book was a bit long. It dragged on places that I felt didn't need it. I could have done without the mud people completely. I enjoyed having Chase along for the ride (he wasn't in the show). Goodkind also did a good job of making you feel sympathy for Denna. Overall it was well written with interesting world building and wonderful characters.”
