Legend of the seeker, new pics and a thought on Wizard’s First Rule
September 10th, 2008I have been on a quest to read or re-read a lot of great epic fantasy books. (I have been posting the reviews either her or to my Fantasy Guide website.) Well, at the moment I am re-reading the first book in Terry Goodkinds sword of Truth series Wizard’s First Rule and I have been thoroughly enjoying it. It’s been many years since I first read it and a lot of the story is again new and fresh to me.
Anyhoo, I am getting into the meat of the story and last night I read a couple more chapters. Funny thing about it is that this morning I open my mailbox to find a couple more promotional pictures from the upcoming Legend of the Seeker show which is based on the Sword of Truth series.
The great thing about one of these pictures is that it looks to me like it depicts a scene that I had passed through last night. It really was kind of cool. You read a novel and you build all these pictures in your head and voila a picture appears in your mailbox. The universe bends to deliver what you want 
I don’t really know if the picture is really of the scene I had just read in the book or not but it looks an awful lot like it. Which tantalizingly leads me to believe the TV show will get a lot of its story and inspiration from the book which would be great because the book is simply fantastic. This is one of the best Epic Fantasy books out there and it kicks off a phenomenal series of books.
One More Little Clue: You can see in the picture that Richard has something hanging around his neck. This thing is very important in the book and it’s good to see him wearing it in the show - it’s another clue that the spirit of the book is maintained in the show.
Okie, heres the picture: It depicts Richard Cypher, Kahlan Amnell, and Chase heading toward what is referred to as “The boundary”. And you can tell by the look on their faces that they are seeing something…. Well, I can only speculate that this is the scene depicted in the picture 
The show airs with a 2 hour opening episode on November 1, on ABC and I am really looking forward to it. We don’t get this kind of stuff on one of the big three networks very often. The official Legend of the Seeker Website
ps. Tonight I am going to read a book about winning the lottery. Let’s see what turns up in my mailbox tomorrow!! Lol
