Hi my first time creating a topic, some of you might have seen my full three messages in Opinons About Goodkind. You might want to check that discussion out if you want to talk about Goodkind overall.

My opinion on the Sword of Truth Novel is what most people say, I like the characters in the books and the world that Goodkind has created, but one of the problems with the novel is its repetitive nature. He seems to do the same thing over and over again. Like how Richard and Kahlan keep getting torn apart for one reason or another and they get back together at the end to save the day.

I guess to get this going I'll ask a question to everyone, do you think that the Sisters of the Light could pull off another glass shower and have the same effect on the Imperial Order.

And for those fans of SoT the next book The Pillars Of Creation, is coming out Nov. 20 2001

I told you that!!! http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Actually you told me that it was coming out Nov. 20, 2001 for some other country and you were not sure if it was coming out the same time in the U.S. I went to a Barnes and noble.com and found out it was coming out in the U.S. Nov. 20, 2001.

Well, the obvious answer to that question is that it would if Goodkind wanted it to.

Theres an old football philosophy that goes, if it works, keep on trying it until the other side proves they can stop it.

I just hope Kahlan gets killed soon. the books might be interesting if that happened.

[Zaku]

both.

Well I don't think that Kahlan would get killed off. If she does she will probley be raised from the dead from some new power that Richard gets.

Zeddicus what do you think will happen in the next book?

[Zeddicus]

Well, actually, anyones guess is as good as mine. If TG keeps to form I imagine the new book will have more positioning between the new world and the order, as well as another side plot that is resolved in the end.

Here is a synopsis I found for the new book. Sounds like it could be a very promising book.


From the Publisher
New York Times bestselling author Terry Goodkind has created his most lavish adventure yet. Tormented her entire life by inhuman voices, a young woman named Lauren seeks to end her intolerable agony. She at last discovers a way to silence the voices. For everyone else the torment is about to begin.

With winter descending and the paralyzing dread of an army of annihilation occupying their homeland, Richard Rahl and his wife Kahlan must venture deep into a strange and desolate land. Their quest turns to terror when they find themselves the helpless prey of a tireless hunter.

Meanwhile, Lauren finds herself drawn into a struggle for conquest and revenge. Worse yet, her will is seized by forces more abhorrent than anything she ever envisioned. Only then does she realize that the voices were real.

Staggered by loss and increasingly isolated, Richard and Kahlan must stop the relentless, unearthly threat, which has come out of the darkest night of the human soul. To do so, Richard will be called upon to face the demons stalking among the Pillars of Creation.

Wow. Sounds an awful lot like all the previous books in the Sword of Truth series.

How depressing.

One of the things that I don't quite understand about many of the people that bash Goodkind is that they say how much they hate the books, but yet they are picking out problems that came up in the sixth book.

If you hate it so much, then why did you read all six of them? Just so you could say how much they suck on the internet.

Maybe you have other reasons, but it seems to me that if an author can hold your interest long enough for you to read everything that he had written, then he just may not be as awful as you say.

Just my two cents.
