It's funny, though, because you hit the nail on the head with your random choice of number. Legolas Send a noteboard - 02/08/2011 08:11:58 PM
Book six IS a rather unusual fantasy novel - book six is Faith of the Fallen, not Soul of the Fire. And Faith of the Fallen, love it or hate it, has to be the most noteworthy book in the series; for all that the earlier books contained some objectivist elements, Faith of the Fallen is essentially one huge relentless attack on all things remotely socialistic, and a defense of objectivism. And, more than the later books, it does that through its story and writing instead of through preaching (though there certainly is some preaching).

Needless to say I really do not agree with Goodkind's ideas, and I have to mention that the ending of FotF is ridiculous, but other than that it's imho the best book in the series - possibly also among the most distasteful, but then the two aren't mutually exclusive.

I haven't heard of Paolini being such a douche... Beqi - 02/08/2011 07:42:08 AM 1311 Views
So? What harm is he doing? Cannoli - 02/08/2011 06:58:56 AM 1739 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 1394 Views
But then you have to retract the rip-off assertion Cannoli - 02/08/2011 01:58:28 PM 1350 Views
Er. You didn't answer her question: Why was Book 6 so groundbreaking? beetnemesis - 02/08/2011 02:07:18 PM 1334 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 1390 Views
Derp. Sorry, it was too early in the morning for subtle humor. beetnemesis - 02/08/2011 07:17:23 PM 1307 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 1373 Views

As well as being the most overtly anti-communist & anti-religious of the series. Cannoli - 06/08/2011 02:52:52 AM 1399 Views
but if Hitler painted really well... LadyLorraine - 06/08/2011 03:44:52 AM 1218 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 1252 Views
The revelation that Terry-um, I mean Richard, is God was retarded? For reals? *NM* Cannoli - 03/08/2011 02:14:00 AM 618 Views
