Sword of Truth

This is a fantasy series by Terry Goodkind.

I've read five or six of these so far, out of the eleven that are published. It's sort of a cross between the Dune series, which I thoroughly bashed a couple years ago, and the Eragon books, which aren't too bad. (Some people may not like that comparison, since the first book of The Sword of Truth came out twelve years before Eragon, but they'll just have to deal with it.) Some scenes and plot devices lack originality. Some other questionable scenes are clearly just there to win points with the intended adolescent male audience.

Other than that, these are engaging books that a reader can lose hours in. I'd recommend it to fans of fantasy.
