Terry Goodkind

Yeah Goodkind is awesome. I get frustrated with how long the Sword of Truth series has been going then I realize that I don't really want the story to end.
One thing though : If Richard doesn't bust out with some serious magical smackdown by the end of the series I'll be so dissapointed that I'll wait a whole week before reading anything else by Goodkind.
Seriously that guy writes fantasy crack.

Really I got frustrated with what a preachy cornball Goodkind got to be after the first couple. I don't know once he got away from strict fantasy, and into fantasy as socio-political metaphor I gave up. I don't need no hobbits telling me what to think, especially not some Ayn Rand loving preachy hobbit.

Was it him or Robert Jordan who had 100 or more pages of sadomasochist torture?

I think it's Robert Jordan, if so I really liked Goodkind, if not I found him an annoying asshole with his long plagiarized books. Again, I can't remember which published their series first, but they are very similar...
