Master Rahl guide us…

I’ve been taken by the television series The Legend of the Seeker, and now I’ve been taken by the actual book series. The Sword of Truth series is nothing like what I expected. The show has taken a darker turn in the second season of the television show, but can never begin to touch the themes of the book series. This is NOT your young adult series, and it’s actually been a very welcomed surprise.

There are many differences that I’m sure are chronicled all over the net, so there isn’t much need for me to do the same here. I think that even in their differences, the two mediums compliment each other nicely. I do, and will always, defer to the canon of the source material, but having faces to go with names has been very nice. I find that my focus is no longer the shipping of Richard/Kahlan (though I still do), but rather the appreciation of the time and the desire to learn more of the lands and legends. Many of the weekly stories are clearly derived from events in the books, though the importance of the elements isn’t always apparent on the show. I’m surprised that the Mud People weren’t included in the television series at all, but that would be a season all to itself. I’m still looking forward to meeting new characters though, especially since I have the added interest of comparing their adventures. Overall, the characters are pretty true to their written creations, but I think the two characters that characters that I never pause to associate with their TV counterparts are Richard and Cara. I am starting the fifth book soon, so things could, of course, change, but I am really hopeful that Cara makes it to the end, and I’m pretty sure that Richard will. *wink*

In the end, I would say that I recommend the books for any fans of the television series (so long as you have pretty strong stomachs re: themes and gore). Here’s to finishing the series before getting spoiled any further!
