Submitted by Pyromonkeyac  (Jun 27, 2005)Wizard's First Rule is my personal favourite of the entire Sword of Truth series. Sure, the idea of some village nobody becoming a great and wonderful hero destined to save the world has been used countless times, but it's still a good place to start. I think it is much more impressive that he saves the world as a real nobody, other than the ruler of half the world as in all of the other books. This is one of the stronger books of the set, containing a lot of mature subject matter, with what my friends and I call "get the picture" moments. Some people I've talked to don't like the idea of the main character being captured and tortured, but that also helps to add an element of realism. Come on, it's not like the main character should be invincible or something, that just would be stupid and boring. All in all, I believe this is the best of the Sword of Truth books.
