So, The Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind is one of my favorite fantasy series. I see that they are going to make a TV series based on the books and I try not to get too excited. I knew that they weren't going to be able to keep everything correct and would have to change some things, but man did they really screw the pooch on this one. I can't believe how sucky it is. I guess I'm not that surprised. [bang] [bang]
I remember reading the first two of those books a while back. I was compelled to finish them, but couldn't quite put my finger on what I disliked about them. I think they were just a bit too modern for my tastes.
I liked the first one, but felt the series declined over time and gave up after I think the 4th one.
I agree that they declined a bit around the middle but the last 3 books are really good and I thought the end was really different and well written. Seems like a lot of fantasy series have the same end and this was complete outside of the norm.
The show still sucks.
