Malaclypse III Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Second that, Pita! Good to see there aren't only bleeding-heart liberals on this forum, but someone who's seen the Truth, just like me. Some day the rains will come and wash all the untruthful away; They'll look to us then, the commie pinkos, and shout "save us!" But we will look down on them and say "Nay! For you have not seen the Truth! Off to the Camps with you!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Will Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 [quote name='Moosicus' post='1360440' date='May 20 2008, 02.03']Okeedokee ~Terry Goodkind, [i]Blood of the Fold[/i][/quote] Ah, I see. Like that was it? I wonder if there is anyone, usually protected from violence by strong social taboos, who one of the good guys hasn't slaughtered or maimed and then claimed righteousness. Let's see, so far we have: -Children -Pacifists (and the unarmed and undefended in general) -Pregnant women. I don't actually recall him assaulting either the physically or mentally disabled, although I maybe forgetting something. Puppies, kittens, and bunnies all seem to have come out of it unscathed as well (we will note, however, that chickens have had a particularly hard run of it). Honestly, I think Goodkind's gone a little soft. If he really believed the nonsense he preached then he wouldn't let Richard pause at crushing small fur baring animals underfoot in order to demonstrate some sort of moral point. I've lost all respect for the yeard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arichamus Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hey, I was wondering, how come Richard hasn't started drinking his enemies' blood yet? Is he just putting it off, or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theMountainGoat Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 He has eaten the flesh of his enemies before! It is a Mud People tradition which they believe enables them to learn the powers of their enemies and Richard joined in with this canabilistic feast - it is not that big of a leap to drinking blood I suppose.

He's obviously not a follower of Truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arichamus Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 So as it is written, so is it done! Also, one thing more, Jagang(formerly Aang, until he went evil and died)is this guy called a Dreamwalker, right? So, what are his powers? and are they over NINE THOUSAAAAAND!!! in comparison to others of his profession? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pita Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Goodkind XXXVIII: Truth Out Subtitle: The Truth Has Left the Building Jagang has two powers: A. His eyes are completely black making him obviously completely evil. B. He can go into your dreams and take control of your mind if you have not sworn your allegiance to Richard, which is a terrific allegory for how communism hurts everyone that isn't sworn to good ol' Uncle Sam.

He's so evil that he won't rape Kahlan until she knows who she is. He seems to be content enough raping the sisters of the dark and other various women, though. He's so evil that regular rape isn't good enough for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insert Edit Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I think I got sucked into reading an early Goodkind book years ago, thought 'meh' and didn't bother reading any more. But skimming through some of these threads, I find myself curiously drawn to go back and try again... Kinda' like driving by a car accident...

hadaad Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I really liked the first couple of Sword of Truth books. I knew that a lot of the writing was clunky but I liked what he wrote so I read them. It's like the frog in the boiling water, though. You don't notice it getting worse and worse because it gets worse subtly and slowly and before you know it, you may just be reading the worst book ever and you don't even know it. At least with Newcomb, you know he sucks big time right away and there's no waiting. At least with Feist, it got bad at Talon of the Silver Hawk and it went from really good to really bad so I knew it. I think of all the money I've spent on Goodkind books and it just makes me sad.
