I read this on its own, and I didn't find it confusing or like I was missing something. It was a great standalone read.

Why wouldn't you start at the Sword of Truth series?
Dale Russell
While reading the Sword of Truth series will give you the history and background to all the characters, Terry Goodkind has written this so that a new reader can dive right in as if this was a new fantasy series that you picked up of the shelf. Some of the terms and abilities may be confusing at first, but the author manages to back fill in information to let you know what exactly you are reading.
