Since I can’t possibly cover all topics and points of view, I hope that you’ll participate in the discussion by sharing your thoughts in the comments. Still, I thought it would make for an interesting discussion to examine some of the differences between the books and the show, and to discuss whether the changes have been for the better or the worse. Since I was introduced to the books through the TV series, I tend to be less sensitive to the liberties taken with characters and events from the novels. Fans of the Sword of Truth novels tend to have strong opinions about the way Terry Goodkind’s stories have been translated to the screen in Legend of the Seeker.
