Some of you know that I'm big into reading sci-fi books. One of my all time favorites has been the Sword of Truth Series by Terry Goodkind. I first got into this series when I found the first book on the "bargain book" table at Borders years ago. It had a neat title and cool picture on the cover so I said for $5 why not.

The series was fantastic, though sadly not so long ago it ended, but to all good things. I love escaping to a world where magic really exists. I'd love to be a sorceress. Or even for those who know a Confessor. To be that powerful and instill such fear and intimidation...oh yeah I could get into that. It's a classic good versus evil story with humble beginnings with plenty of adventure, magic, struggle, epic fighting and just enough love to take the edge off, but not too much where it's a sappy romance novel *yuck*. I enjoy reading these kinds of books because they take you away from this worlds problems if only for a moment and it at least for me lets my mind relax and get lost in the adventure.

I still remember the point when I had caught up with the series and had to wait for the next book to come out. Waiting is for sure the hardest part. I can be a patient person but not so much when I'm waiting to see how the cliff hanger of the last book plays out. In a way though it was good that the series ended and I did enjoy the ending. Sappy and fairy tale-ish but not terribly so. To let it drag on forever would kill it, and I'm sure Mr. Goodkind wanted to write about something else. At least I hope he does cuz I need a new series to follow and I'd give his next one a shot since I enjoyed Sword of Truth (SOT) so much.

Now thanks to my good friend and computer guru C-chan I was given the exciting news of a TV series of SOT coming this November. Not sure what channel, but whatever channel it's on I'll be tuning in to it or at least taping it if it's on at an inconvenient day or time. The show is being done by the same folks that did Hercules and Xena which is another reason for me at least to tune in. I admit it, I was and still am a fan of Xena. It's one of my guilty pleasures and I don't care what you think about it.

So for those of you who know the SOT series and even for those who don't enjoy the video preview below. From the video the scenery looks amazing and the effects super sweet. I can't wait until it premiers. Enjoy!
