Goodkind XLVIII

Recommended Posts

In terms of involuntary hilarity, which is the best book to choose?

I have always found the nipple magic to be particularly mind-numbing. And people of Nicobarese, who almost speak Midland but they can't remember to say "I am" but "I be". So Blood of the Fold's got my vote. If death-choosers actually do vote, that is.

Yeah excet for the whole statue plot where richard carves himself into a hunk of marble and he is so beautiful it inspires people to weep and be free.

Yes, how grandly stupid. Revolution by statue. Too bad the good folk of Iran haven't got any statues that celebrate life and the beauty of objectivism.

Don't forget the part where the supposedly good characters fall asleep to the screams of someone being tortured to feel better about losing their friend.

Yes, to appease Sister Verna. The tortured fella had killed Warren, and then demanded to be executed because he had done his duty to the order and the Rahlians had to uphold their part of his deal...

The more I think about the Yeard's "work", the stupider I feel... :shocked:

The rape pit.

But did our glorious hero and his wife make use of the pit? I just remember Khalan being thrown in one and zapping the biggest guy so she would have a protector.

It's been a while and I don't plan to reread these ever, but I recall one of the "heroes" throwing one of the "villains" into the rape pit. Possibly his sister? It all blurs together.

I think Klan was about to throw her (half?)sister back into a rape pit or something like that. Think it was the book that had the naked whitewash covered boobies army attacking a fortified position in winter in mountains and winning with only loosing some redshirts(also naked and covered in whitewash).

I think it was the same one too.

Basically, what had happened was that the Queen was the ruler of a small kingdom that Richard wanted to conquer. After she was gang-raped by a gang of criminals, she gave Kahlan her crown so that she (the Queen) could have time to recover. Kahlan, being a noble superhero, turns around and annexes the kingdom into Richard's empire. When the Queen sends a diplomat to complain, Kahlan declares her and her diplomat guilty of treason, threatens to throw the sister back into the pit of criminals to be raped to death (yes, that's what she actually said) and then murders the diplomat -- who had behaved with civility, integrity, and respect towards Kahlan no matter how unreasonable her threats and demands became.

Yeah, these two are definitely Gregor.

Could someone sum up how this series ends (I read up till the last book, which while hilarious was all my friend had in the series, and well I wasn't going to actually buy the series).

I vaguely remember Richard going to join a football team to save his wife(?) who'd lost her memory somehow.

And if that is too long ill bullet point it.

-Nicci gets anti-magic collar on the Emperor. Then kills him.

-Richard discovers that everything everyone learned in each book was BS, a distraction, and nothing else.

-Sword of Truth is the only magic that matters, and suddenly Richard KNOWS how to use the Box of Ordin, which turns him into GOD.

-Richard makes two worlds, one with magic, and one for bad selling sequels, and lets people pick where to live(I'm guessing their survey comes in the mail?)

I knew there was a reason I liked Goodking. This is amazing.

It's funny how so much better the TV show was. I only was ever able to see like three episodes of it, but Richard and Kahlan seemed like genuinely decent people and there was actually suspense since none of the three main characters were invincible. It was still a cliche-ridden copy of Xena, but you could tell that there were competent writers involved at some stage of the creative process.
