So I highly recommend this book and series to anyone who loves epic fantasy especially ones with a slightly more intellectual feel to them. But don’t start them if you don’t have the time to keep reading them because once you start one you won’t want to put it down until it’s done. He puts his characters through real trials and you see them really suffer and struggle and come out the other side changed and you go through the journey right along with them.Įach book has an actual ending without a cliffhanger….but they do leave things open for a next book. His character development, especially of the main characters, is very well done although there are a lot of them and he does jump between story lines and perspectives which can be a little confusing at first until you get to know all of the characters well.

I think this is one of the few epic fantasies with a male main character that I still can one hundred percent identify and empathize with. Tapert, who filmed Hercules and Xena, Warrior Princess in New Zealand and married his star, Lucy Lawless, in 1998 showed people at the convention a clip from the show's filming around Auckland.This is an epic fantasy series that I have been working on reading for the last 24 years…not because it is hard to read, quite the opposite, but because the first book came out in 1994…when I was in high school, and the last book in the series was just published in 2018.Īnd these books are no quick reads with the first book, Wizard’s First Rule having 836 glorious pages. Also, be advised that the Sword of Truth books contain graphic, sometimes sexual violence.

Laga'aia played David Silesi in four series of the television drama Street Legal and Captain Typho, in two Star Wars films, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. The short-lived TV series Legend of the Seeker, although (very) loosely based on the Sword of Truth series, bears almost no resemblance to the books and cuts out virtually all of the philosophically important content. Parker spent four years on Shortland Street after being cast as Guy Warner in 1992, and won international attention after being cast as Haldir, one of Lothlorien's elves in the first two parts of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Raimi said Australian actor Bruce Spence will play Richard's best friend Zedd, Jay Laga'aia will play a boundary warden Chase, and Craig Parker will play the series' villain, Darken Rahl. While investigating the mysterious murder of his father he rescues a woman, Kahlan Amnell, (played by American actress Bridget Regan) who has crossed over from the 'magic' side of the world, and does battle with an evil dictator. The series is based around a backwoods guide, Richard - played by Australian actor Craig Horner - in Westland, the only part of the world which contains no magic. One of the episodes will be directed by New Zealand actor Michael Hurst who starred in the original Hercules TV series. Each one hour episode will have a New Zealand director and the series will be shot in the Auckland region over 36 months. The series marks ABC Studios' first foray into broadcast syndication, and has already been sold into stations covering 95 percent of the American market, according to TV.

The syndicated series from Disney-ABC Domestic Television and ABC Studios, will premiere in the United States on the weekend of November 1. Goodkind’s agent confirmed his passing, but did not provide a cause of death.

The series began with the book Wizard’s First Rule in 1994, and the most recent title Heart of Black Ice came out earlier this year. Goodkind wrote the popular Sword of Truth book series that spanned over 20 books. Executive producers Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert told a comics and fantasy convention of the name change, and announced the New Zealand actors, Entertainment Weekly reported. Bestselling fantasy author Terry Goodkind has died at age 72. But the 22-episode series has been renamed Legend of the Seeker - apparently to avoid religious concerns among American audiences about scorcery.

Filming of Wizard's First Rule, the first book in Terry Goodkind's popular The Sword of Truth books began this week.
