Books
Wizard’s First Rule by Terry Goodkind
Nov 3rd
I will admit that I’m a bit behind the times here. This book was published in 1994 and is the first book in the Epic Fantasy series “Sword of Truth” and is now the source material of a new network Drama called The Legend Of The Seeker. That said, having resumed my unmitigated hunger for new books to read, I thought now an appropriate time to tackle this series.
I must say, I was quite impressed character development and timing that Terry has shown in this book and I can definitely see why it is rated as one of the must read fantasy series. While a little disappointed with the conclusion, I thoroughly enjoyed following Richard, Khalan, Zedd and the rest of the cast in their journey across the three lands.
The Templar Legacy by Steve Berry
Aug 14th
I found The Templar Legacy to be an interesting read, it starts with a bang and doesn’t really let up until its conclusion. Fans of Dan Brown’s The DaVinci Code may appreciate the well researched locales intermingled with the fast paced storyline. In fact, often while reading through this novel, it felt almost as if Steve Berry was utilizing the formula that Dan Brown applied in his books. Mind you however, that is purely conjecture, as I have yet to read any of Steve Berry’s previous works.
