![]() I was surprised to see so many things changed. LotS, while not the same, is good in its own way too, but I can’t compare the book with the show anymore. (I would recommend the first book to anyone who wants a well-rounded fantasy read). A very fulfilling read with an ending I very much appreciated. It was a very good mix and I was glad to read the ending. The book was dark, and at other times hopeful, sad, and still humorous and light. I really did enjoy “Wizard’s First Rule”, regardless of what others have said of Goodkind’s writing. There were MANY additions and subtractions in the plot when compared to the text version, so to come down to it LotS is its own entity. It was a fun fantasy romp, with some misguided steps here and there in directing. I did not think it was necessary, but more so I do not think it did justice to the original characters either. I tried to look away or let my eyes glaze over every time Kahlan or some other female ratings ploy was dressed in a highly contrived manner. I’d have to agree with you on almost all of them. You hit on a lot of good and not so good parts of the show. *scratch that off of things not experienced when watching LotS*… I DO feel like I’m riding a dragon through the clouds.
