Book Review: Wizard's First Rule


The first book I read in 2014 (or finished reading rather) was a reread for me.  After finishing A Dance With Dragons I needed to read something but I didn't know what so I decided to go through the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind again as it is one of my favorites.

Wizard's First Rule is the first book of the story (a very long, well written story with some brilliant twists in my humble opinion) and begins with Richard Cyper meeting Kahlan Amnell shorty after his father is murdered and then his entire life gets turned upside down.

It's got everything you need in a really engaging fantasy story; wizards, dragons, royalty, three dimensional characters.  I think that's the best part of this book that you can really connect with all the characters rather they be good or evil.

I also love all the little details that you notice every time you read through it that match up with things later on in the series.  There are no little gaps or mistakes to ruin the whole thing for someone who rereads things obsessively.

    Great review! I've had Wizard's First Rule in my TBR pile for a while now. I really need to dig it out one of these days and read it, finally!

Making Mac and Cheese

Image
One of my favorite vegetables is butternut squash so when Chatelaine  posted this yummy looking recipe  for mac and cheese brimming with squash I immediately pinned it to make at a later time.  Now, before Pinterest  I am willing to admit, recipes got saved in my e-mail, but they never got made.  They just got lost in the shuffle; now they get neatly organized and displayed where I can go through them on a regular basis.  More importantly than that I can try them.   This recipe worked out well for me, I thought the cheese and squash tasted great together, the kids however did not agree.  They like their squash on the side, where they can control how much they ingest.  Next time I will definitely use less breadcrumbs though.

Spooktacular Giveaway Hop

When I was much younger than I am now, I loved nothing more that a good "spooky" story.  I spent many nights laying up in bed reading books that were designed to make your skin crawl and leave you with goose bumps. My personal favourite author for Young Adult Thrillers was and probably still is Christopher Pike.  Twenty years after reading his books some of them still stand out in my mind in perfect clarity.  The top one would be Remember Me. Something about Shari's story struck a chord with me that has echoed through the last twenty years, as any good book should I suppose. Sadly when I was a teenager I didn't hold on to as many books as I do now so I spend a lot of time hunting to replace the ones I really wish I had kept. (Sweet Valley High anyone?) I am giving away a $15 Amazon gift card in the hopes that you can use it to buy a book to be loved as much as I loved this one. a Rafflecopter giveaway This post is part of The Spooktacular Giveaw...
