Wow! I was completely wrong about Goodkind. Gher Send a noteboard - 07/12/2009 04:36:28 AM
His work is full of subtle lessons, right down to the presence of squirrels chipmunks signifying the superiority of the New World!

Farah Mendlesohn and Edward James on RJ, Goodkind, and Martin Larry - 07/12/2009 02:48:45 AM 1667 Views
Pretty sure Nynaeve did not have red hair. Also pretty sure she wasn't a priestess. Ghavrel - 07/12/2009 02:54:23 AM 965 Views
I think it was a tongue-in-cheek reference to an archetype, but yes, there are some errors here Larry - 07/12/2009 02:56:00 AM 739 Views

I suppose it all depends on what the purpose of their book is. Legolas - 07/12/2009 10:04:48 AM 735 Views
Overall, a valid assessment. Tom - 07/12/2009 02:07:47 PM 770 Views
Nynaeve doesn't have red hair! She has brown hair! Ghavrel - 07/12/2009 09:29:07 PM 775 Views
She's not a priestess, either. Other than "red-haired priestess" the rest was 100% valid. Tom - 08/12/2009 12:39:07 AM 761 Views
I mentioned her not being a priestess in my earlier post. Ghavrel - 09/12/2009 03:23:12 AM 730 Views
Don't you think that, if that were corrected, the entries would be pretty much valid? Tom - 09/12/2009 09:12:55 PM 721 Views
Of course I do. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/01/2010 07:25:31 PM 335 Views
She's a priestess archetype, though. *NM* Ouranid - 09/12/2009 09:43:50 PM 319 Views
Why wasn't I informed about the chipmunks? Werthead - 07/12/2009 11:56:51 PM 774 Views
But... it's the sweetest scene ever. StormCrow - 08/12/2009 07:40:51 PM 774 Views
Agree for the most part. When does the book officially come out? StormCrow - 08/12/2009 07:51:39 PM 904 Views
Book's been out since the summer, in the UK anyways Larry - 09/12/2009 02:33:05 AM 738 Views
So their tone *is* out of place, then? Legolas - 09/12/2009 10:52:12 AM 728 Views
Point taken. Despite not being the target audience, I'd still like to take a look at it. StormCrow - 09/12/2009 10:04:38 PM 709 Views
Erikson is like Martin? That's ridiculous! fionwe1987 - 09/12/2009 01:43:18 AM 974 Views
Influenced isn't the same as 'like'. Jacob - 21/12/2009 06:04:53 PM 771 Views
So, you're right because you're right? fionwe1987 - 28/12/2009 03:25:33 AM 799 Views
Only because I'm willing to be honest even about things that I enjoy. *NM* Jacob - 07/01/2010 06:00:02 PM 300 Views
What rot... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 09:54:13 PM 794 Views
I think fionwe has a point - it's not some kind of literature/non-literature divide. Legolas - 08/01/2010 08:37:31 PM 704 Views
Actually, aSoIaF has one of the more accurate depictions of feudalism in modern fantasy. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/01/2010 07:33:22 PM 314 Views
I agree, but that wasn't the point... fionwe1987 - 09/01/2010 03:11:16 AM 730 Views
Nah... randfandom - 12/12/2009 08:05:49 AM 826 Views
