Query: A Fantasy Masterpiece

"Wizard's First Rule", which was hailed as an epic by a lot of people when it first came out, is just that: A towering achievement in the Fantasy genre, a great story with epic bloodlines. The prose at times is curt. Goodkind doesn't spend any time dancing around descriptions, nor does he spend pages and pages talking about how a character is getting out of bed, or how a character feels..or..or...He didn't waste any time cutting into the meat of his story, which is at times graphic, bluntly violent, and cruel. And I loved every minute of it. The situations in WFR were real. The way the people treated each other was real. This isn't watered down, high-prose, "classic" fantasy, ala Robert Jordan. This story was dirty, and Goodkind was not afraid to put some startling descriptions and scenes in this book. I love "Wizard's First Rule" as a great book, and recommend it.
