Wizard’s First Rule by Terry Brooks. I suffered through the whole thing because I was young enough that I thought that’s what you should do when you’ve started a book, but I was also old enough to know that it was very bad. I’ve heard many people say they read it as teens and loved it, but I assure you, it does not hold up.

Wizards First Rule is Goodkind not Brooks, Brooks wrote Shanarra

Ack thank you, I mix them up even though I’ve never read Brooks, who seems to be better loved.
