Had I known that this series has been out since 2008, I'd have looked all over the net to watch it. I was finally able to watch the catch-up marathon at the Sci-Fi Channel the day after Christmas. My dad suffered through the day watching with me, LoL.
The series is loosely based on "The Sword of Truth
" series by Terry Goodkind. This series is one of two epic fantasy series that my brother and I followed through the years, the other one being "The Wheel of Time
" by Robert Jordan. I used the word loosely because they didn't strictly adhere to the books for the serialized TV version. Once you reconcile yourself with that, a true fan would be able to sit back and enjoy the shows. Of course, I'd still would prefer the original, but it isn't so bad really.Seeing this fantasy world on-screen made me want to reread the books. I haven't even read Phantom and Confessor, the last two books, partly because I don't really want the epic to end yet. Haha. My brother lent the first book, Wizard's First Rule, to a friend and I don't think we got it back so if I want to read them again I'd actually have to make another purchase. I wouldn't mind that. Perhaps I'll try looking for it in second hand bookshops ;)
Anyway, I can't get enough of Bridget Regan; I love Kahlan, even when I'd much prefer to pronounce her name as Kah-lan, rather than Khay-lan as they do. They picked the perfect actress. I might just go ahead name a future daughter after her. :)
