| | Fantasy Finder - T. Goodkind: Wizard's First Rule |
 | | Rahl is searching for the boxes of Orden, because if he finds them all and perform the correct rituals, described in The Book of Counted Shadows and then opens the right one, before the first day of winter, he will become master of the universe, sort of. |
 | | In its best moments, the book is quite entertaining, but often Mr Goodkind also wants to teach his teenage readers something about life, and the result is long monologues that are very preachy and, as a matter of fact, quite boring. |
 | | Maybe it is symptomatic that the best parts of the book are filled with fear, cruelty and sadism. |
