The Scribbly Man: The Children of d'Hara, Episode 1 by Terry Goodkind

4.0

This is my first Terry Goodkind book, and although it is a novella and not a full-length book, I must say that it has gotten me interested in reading the rest of his works.

This particular story takes place after the Sword of Truth series, so I believe there is world-building established in the Sword of Truth series that isn't completely addressed here, but nevertheless, I didn't feel lost or confused navigating through it. Granted, as this is a novella, I only saw a glimpse of this world and I'm sure there's more to understand with the series.

I am already intrigued with the characters of Richard and Kahlan in this book, and I would love to know their backstory from the Sword of Truth series. Shale is very interesting to me as well, and I love the idea of the Mord-Sith, how fierce and cool they are.

Hopefully I will be able to read the rest of the books soon and see more of this world and its characters.
