Praise for Wizards First Rule

This is a collection of praise for Wizards first Rule, Terry Goodkinds first novel. this praise is found on the first page, cover, and reverse side of the book. There is quite a lot of it, so if you just want to skip down to my reviews click here.



This first novel [should] propel its author to prominence. It has all the essential elements, a likable hero, a beautiful and mysterious woman, a thoroughly wicked villian intent upon conquering the world, a wize old wizard whos powers are fading, and a host of minor villains and heroes, monsters and magic, exotic settings and odd cultures.

"Goodkind delivers a rousing, original, and rewarding story."
-Science Fiction Chronicle


"A very powerful story with fully realized charactors and memorable scenes that build as the story grows."
-George R. Dickson



"Wizards First Rule may be Terry Goodkinds First novel; his career is nevertheless already impressive. This is old-fashioned fantasy in the complimentary sense: it starts in early and keeps hitting you with new magical wonders, building into a truly gripping adventure."
