I did too. I don't know why. Kronin al'Sulc Send a noteboard - 02/08/2011 04:52:47 PM
I got way too far before realizing it was terrible, and by that time I was in too deep.

Funnily enough, probably the most bothersome thing about his books to me is actually is magic system. He claims to base it on strict laws and yada yada, but those laws come down to:

"This magic creates, this magic destroys, Richard has both so he can do anything he wants whenever I need him to. Including (and yes, this is legitimately one of my biggest complaints) suddenly divining the recipe of an antidote to a poison he took, after spending the entire book searching for it.
At last, I have an apostrophe!

Let's see if you are old enough to read this post....Or Goodkind is still a Jackass! Beqi - 02/08/2011 01:59:54 AM 9629 Views
What a stupid fucking douchebag pile of shit. Tom - 02/08/2011 04:35:43 AM 1645 Views

He's better than Paolini... Tavi - 02/08/2011 04:48:58 AM 1743 Views
I haven't heard of Paolini being such a douche... Beqi - 02/08/2011 07:42:08 AM 1607 Views
So? What harm is he doing? Cannoli - 02/08/2011 06:58:56 AM 2031 Views
book 6? Was that the second or third time Ricky got kidnapped/changed his captors way of thinking? Beqi - 02/08/2011 07:08:45 AM 1655 Views
But then you have to retract the rip-off assertion Cannoli - 02/08/2011 01:58:28 PM 1692 Views
Er. You didn't answer her question: Why was Book 6 so groundbreaking? beetnemesis - 02/08/2011 02:07:18 PM 1628 Views
That was just a joke about her giving up the series. I didn't even recall which one was book 6 Cannoli - 02/08/2011 02:28:06 PM 1721 Views
Derp. Sorry, it was too early in the morning for subtle humor. beetnemesis - 02/08/2011 07:17:23 PM 1605 Views
It's funny, though, because you hit the nail on the head with your random choice of number. Legolas - 02/08/2011 08:11:58 PM 1652 Views
I agree with all that LadyLorraine - 03/08/2011 12:15:15 AM 1657 Views
Isn't that the one where Richard carves a statue that is so rad it inspires a rebellion? Werthead - 03/08/2011 12:02:10 PM 1671 Views
well to be fair, it's more complicated than that LadyLorraine - 03/08/2011 05:27:59 PM 1544 Views
No, it's not. That is exactly what happens. *NM* MightyYT - 04/08/2011 08:42:23 PM 809 Views
That's the one. Legolas - 03/08/2011 06:10:57 PM 1637 Views
As well as being the most overtly anti-communist & anti-religious of the series. Cannoli - 06/08/2011 02:52:52 AM 1674 Views
but if Hitler painted really well... LadyLorraine - 06/08/2011 03:44:52 AM 1501 Views
You assume I care that much. I enjoy pointing out the absurdness of this author. Beqi - 02/08/2011 07:02:42 PM 1770 Views

No, definitely not. beetnemesis - 02/08/2011 07:19:25 PM 1590 Views
I read all the way through the end, and I thought the last couple books redeemed it in my eyes LadyLorraine - 03/08/2011 12:11:56 AM 1540 Views
The revelation that Terry-um, I mean Richard, is God was retarded? For reals? *NM* Cannoli - 03/08/2011 02:14:00 AM 750 Views
*shrug* I just didn't like the ending LadyLorraine - 03/08/2011 04:01:40 AM 1714 Views

Goodkind is a jackass with a complete disregard for people who think any different than him. MightyYT - 04/08/2011 08:53:39 PM 1774 Views
A passage from Terry Goodkind was a "bad prose competition" selection at readercon this year. Vivien - 05/08/2011 03:29:21 AM 2350 Views
