So I did something a Harry Potter reader should have learned not to do. I didn't understand how anyone could like this series enough to rec it to me. Of course, this is but one dimension of the retardation that Goodkind has in his novels. His characters contradict themselves constantly. The rest of his novels reek of radical left and right wing ideas - apparently his characters can't decide whether or not they prefer communism or fascism (edit: it leans towards fascism in the late books). The worst part is that Goodkind appears to fully believe that Richard is doing the right thing. Yet, he is never portrayed as anything other than right. He also kills peaceful protesters because. There is also a scene in the books where Richard pretty much justifies gang-rape because it is part a culture's customs, and therefore must be protected. Because this is the only moral thing to do. Richard's latest battle tactics are simple - his army of D'Harans is too small to take on the huge enemy force, so instead he orders them to go to the enemy homeland and slaughter all the civilians, removing the ears of anyone who preaches the enemy faith.
However, anyone with half a brain notices that Richard's actions are immoral at best. Furthermore, he writes in such a way as to make his protagonist (Richard) to always be right.
#TERRY GOODKIND SWORD OF TRUTH QUOTES FULL#
I found it be a terrible fantasy series, full of cliches and unlikable, stereotypical characters. A friend recommended this series to me, so I read it.
