An advance copy of this novel was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. My thoughts are my own. In this universe the magic is powerful, having some regions such as D’Hararuled by wizards. One of the main elements of this magic world is The Confessors, magically gifted women who can force people to work for them and therefore fulfill their purposes. So much of the book is setting up mysterious things but without any sort of payoff for the audience. FirstLook Edition of The Quest Begins". HarperCollin's First Look.

Jay Laga'aia as Dell "Chase" Brandstone (season 1) – The boundary warden of Hartland. Chase has always done everything he can to help Richard. This book could have been so very good. Great premise and the characters aren't bad. It's that I can't figure out what the hell is going on. You have the main character Quin that is training to be a Seeker. What is a Seeker? Who the hell knows. I thought at first it was something good..then it seemed like it was something bad. I never got my answers..so I'm a shallow gal and it pissed me off. Then her love interest John knew what was in store for her..Did he tell her? Nope, Nada, Nil. I don't like that John. *insert mean look*I kept reading this actively thinking: "I'm missing something huge here, what happened?" Even hoped I wasn't the only person who felt like chunks of the story were missing. How should call the Terry Goodkind books? The Legend of The Seeker books or The Sword of Truth books?

Christopher Eccleston as The Rider. By day he disguises himself as the Village doctor. He is The Dark of the world. At many points in the film, it shows that ravens follow his command. This problem...haunted Western thought—Why would a good God allow evil in the world He had created? -- was one that Judeo-Christian man had made for himself. It was plainly a by-product of ethical monotheism...The Seekers With show's production based in New Zealand and a writing staff based in Los Angeles, one of the biggest challenges has been dealing with the time differences and the communication issues. [11] Kenneth Biller noted that the biggest challenges the writing staff faced were to create standalone episodes while integrating the storylines and mythology created by Terry Goodkind, and to "honor the books without literally translating them". [11] As such, the series contains some stories from the books and new stories and events created by the series' writers. Raimi's reason for the changes is that the structure of a novel differs from a weekly one-hour television program. [12] Tapert and Raimi maintain that while the writers have had to create events that are not portrayed in the books, they have remained faithful to the characters, themes and overarching story of the books:

Success!

An invitation to dinner at the house of local businessman Matthew Pullan lifts the lid on the bubbling cauldron of grudges and resentment that is Faithly village. The local constable, drunk on the tiny bit of power he holds, using it to avenge old resentments. The hated lord of the manor, the last of a staunchly Royalist family who has managed to avoid suspicion of treachery - for now. The vicar on trial for his job and his home, accused of ungodly acts. And the Pullans themselves, proudly Puritan but disillusioned with Cromwell's government, respected and despised in Faithly in equal measure. The man for whom this unlikely gathering was organized - The Trier, the enforcer of Puritan morality for the local villages - hasn't shown up. And by the end of the night, on of those gathered around Matthew Pullan's table will be fatally poisoned. So, love triangle verdict: yes. Yes, this book (and probably, the entire series) has a love triangle. It's not bothering me so much at the moment, because the lines have been drawn (especially after reading the very last paragraph of the book), but I can see how the author COULD potentially mix things up. Apparently they are aware of some grave situation attached to their role that's supposed to be earth shattering, mind blowing, and completely making them question everything they know about the people around them. Unfortunately, the reader is never made aware of what this horrible thing is.

Steenbergen, Diana (November 10, 2008). "Legend of the Seeker: "Bounty" Review". IGN . Retrieved November 18, 2008. See what I said above, about the love triangle. It's there. It exists. I don't like love triangles at all, but this one isn't bothering me too much at the moment. I actually like all three protagonists (Quin, Shinobu, John), despite one of them being the "villain" in the book, and one of them being a total drug addict. But... love triangle.
