About Terry Goodkind

One would never think that a person with dyslexia would become a writer of novels. However, American author, Terry Goodkind crossed the usual boundary and wrote his first novel, even though he did not receive a formal education. He began his adult life building cabinets and violins, as well as was a marine/wildlife artist. His first novel, Wizard's First Rule, was published in 1994, thus beginning his illustrious career. He is now also a part-time race car driver, and is also a devoted husband and a friend to animals.

To quote Author Terry Goodkind........My privilege in life is the joy of writing books and telling stories about people who fascinate me, the good and the bad.

Goodkind's newest novel is NEST, where readers will be drawn into a world that is dark and evil. He remains one of the most controversial thriller writers of our time.

I have enjoyed the past Terry Goodkind books. Truthfully the series is great, however I am bothered by the politics he brings into the series. It does go from a nice fantasy story to a fantasy story based around american politics. While regardless if you agree with him or not, I felt like at times I was reading a political essay rather than a fantasy novel. I actually gave up on the series after this, because reviews I read said that future books were doing the same, just a bit more than this one. I just perfer to keep real life politics out of fantasy novels. As the author he has that choice however, and other readers might actually enjoy such a thing.

Goodreads review by Bethany (Beautifully Bookish Bethany) on July 17, 2022

In a departure from the rest of the series, The Pillars of Creation follows entirely new characters instead of Richard, Kahlan and the rest. Luckily I do like Jennsen who is the main character we're following- one of Richard's half-sisters who believes Lord Rahl is trying to hunt her down and kill h......more

Goodreads review by Rodney on November 25, 2009

While for the bulk of this book I found it a constant struggle to care about the main characters, as always, it finished strong and picked up eventually. This book was a test in agitation and tolerance for me. I not once cared for Jennsen. I found her infuriatingly ignorant, and while that was a cons......more

Credo che due stelle siano più che sufficienti per questo libro. Il nulla per dire due cose importanti, il resto è solo riempitivo.......more
