Terry Goodkind - Wizard's First Rule — 

Wizard's First Rule is the first of many books by Terry Goodkind.  It was recommended to me by a stranger who saw me reading David Eddings (which I also love).  I wish I could find the person who recommended it, because I owe them a large debt of gratitude!!!  So many fantasy books come down to good prevailing because they always do.  There is nothing wrong with this necessarily, but it definitely seems very fantastic sometimes....  Goodkind does not do this.  Good triumphs through intelligence.  Good triumphs through determination.  Good triumphs by doing what has to be done, instead of what they want to do and never giving up.  You will not find an army winning a battle they should not simply because they are good in a Goodkind book.  What you will find is really complex characters who don't always succeed, but who never give up.  Characters who are good, but not always virtuous and certainly not perfect.  Situations and plots that will make you think and maybe question your outlook on life.  Every book in this series is worth reading and a treasure.
