Might as well drink my own vomit. Cuppa Send a noteboard - 03/04/2012 05:15:19 AM
Was one of the first fantasy novels I bought. Also the worst novel I ever tried to read. I still shudder at the cliched characterization of that bad guy what'shisname, and his oh so evil laugh while talking about raping boys, because Goodkind needed to drive the point home that his bad guy was indeed bad. And from everything I've read, it was even more contrived after that.

Horrible writing. Didn't make it past that part.

But thanks anyway. :P

Also, for a different feel, but also quite good: The Dresden Files (Jim Butcher) beetnemesis - 02/04/2012 06:46:18 PM 1625 Views

Don't like Hobb. Thanks anyway! Cuppa - 03/04/2012 05:11:06 AM 1733 Views
If you want something like Wheel of Time just read Goodkind. He copied Jordan. *NM* Tom - 03/04/2012 04:18:10 AM 821 Views
