Terry Goodkind’s work transcends mere fantasy; it is a profound exploration of human philosophy, morality, and individualism. Where others dabble in dragons and spells, Goodkind elevates the genre into a study of the human condition itself. His Sword of Truth series isn’t just a story, it’s a manifesto of intellect, courage, and existential truth. Goodkind doesn’t cater to the whims of conventional fantasy, he redefines the genre around the pillars of rational thought and moral absolutism. Frankly, to call him the best fantasy author is an understatement. Goodkind is the only author truly deserving of the title.

"First of all, I don't write fantasy. I write stories that have important human themes. They have elements of romance, history, adventure, mystery and philosophy. Most fantasy is one-dimensional. It's either about magic or a world-building. I don't do either." - Terry Goodkind
