Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind

[Greyweather]

Objectivist author Terry Goodkind's first epic fantasy novel, Wizard's First Rule, is $1.99 today in the Kindle Store.

Update: The sale is over so I edited the title. Might as well make this a general thread for the book.

I've been reading through it slowly and so far rather enjoy it. There are plenty of choice quotes too.

This one, from page 122, is good when you know what Goodkind is alluding to:

"... magic is only a tool, like any other. When you use a whetstone to sharpen a knife, you are simply making the knife work better for its intended purpose. Same way with the magic. It's just a honing of the intent."

"Some people are more terrified to die by magic than, say, by a blade, as if somehow one is less dead if killed by a blow or cut than if killed by the unseen. But listen well. Dead is dead. The fear of the magic though, can be a powerful weapon. Keep that in mind."

Well, if there's one thing Goodkind is good for (no pun intended) it's awesome quotes. There are even better ones in later books.
