I finally finished Wizard's First Rule!

Remind me to never get on the bad side of a confessor. Shit. She made him eat... Well, I won't give it away for anyone who hasn't read it yet... But, I mean, Ow...

Oh yeah, I've got a question...

On the cover of Wizard's First Rule, who's supposed to be on the dragon with Richard? Kahlan's on the ground, and so is Zedd. I thought that maybe it was Chase, but he's on the back cover (grey hair at the sides, a mase in his hand). So, who's on the dragon? I thought that it could be Micheal, but that wouldn't make any sense...

Yay!! You finished it!! See what I mean about Richard and Kahlan now? :roll:

The kid with Richard is Siddin, remember? They're taking him back to the Mud People. :nod:

That's a kid?!? Looked too old to be Siddin.

Oh, and I was close with the "Richard, I am your father" bit.

And now I see what you mean, how he's already a wizard.

Damn, I don't want to talk too much, in case I end up ruining it for someone else...

Yeah.

I read a bit more, and now Richard's gone off with... Well, I won't give it away to any future readers, but you know what I mean.

This is the first book (I think of the series as one book, as it's more or less one long story) in which I've actually felt a character's pain. I'm talking about Kahlan, and what she just had to do... :neutral:

Thanks to Al's fancy new feature, I can talk about the book!

Only read this if you have read the books or if you aren't planning on reading them:

<spoiler removed>

Oh, and if you're one of the ones who's not planning on reading them, this is for you:

[shadow=red]READ IT YOU LAZY BUM![/shadow]

All those extra features probably contributed to the slowness.

I sure hope Al can bring it back! :) Please? :puppyeyes:

Spoiler: (black text)

This is getting really really good. Zedd and Adie have little bits of subtractive magic from the Skrin. Zedd just revealed (only semi-revealed to the reader) that he could have trained Richard. Richard's gotten through the valley.

This is seriously the best book(s) that I've ever read!

So, [glow=red]GO READ IT YOU LAZY BUMS![/glow]

Crawl into a corner and roll up into the fetal position, waiting for the world to come to it's inevitable end.

Now I can do all that with a good book! :mrgreen:
