Confessor - Goodkind's end to SoT

Suineg · 11-13-2007, 05:42 PM

Picked it up today. About 300/580 pages right now. Luckily work sucks and I had nothing to do.

Overall so far so good. Tying up loose ends fairly quickly.

I think I will be pissed when they finally "reveal the final wizard rule" it just reminds me too much of a Hanna Barbera cartoon and them singing at the end some song that gives a moral to everything that has just happened.

Any other thoughts? People glad/excited/sad this is over?

How many people have been raped so far? How many people have been castrated?

Suineg · 11-13-2007, 06:13 PM

Haha in the first 300 pages there has been one rape but she was raped on a regular basis before.

I agree he is psycho like that but the first 3 books were great so I just needed closure.

The first 4 were good stories if not literature, book 5 was a political piece of trash, book 6 was good, and after that...geez. Goodkind went crazy, no other way to put it.

Well finished it.

Sure enough he figured out the last and final wizard rule just in time to be most effective. How convenient.

Overall not a horrible book and just glad it's all over.

This.

I gave up after book 3 or 4, when it became obvious the series was just Wheel of Time (not exactly outstanding fantasy itself) written by a creepy sado-masochist.

at least he finished his series which puts it head and shoulders above wheel of time. That said its still pretty much garbage.

What was the final genital mutilation/sexual violation total? If it doesn't reach at least half a dozen, something is wrong.

Suineg · 11-14-2007, 04:55 PM

One person raped multiple times with only one actual play by play.

No mutilations or anything else other then that.

Disappointing. As his swan song, I figured he would go really over the top - castrate a whole city or something.
