Nothing in it made me want to read anything else he wrote. Plus, my fiance met and talked with Goodkind several times when she worked for Tor Books. He's not a very nice guy, and doesn't particularly like women (this was her experience first hand), which comes out in his writing. He also is incredibly serious when he says that his books are NOT FANTASY. I've read a few interviews with him where he has stated this over and over, that dispite the trappings of the genre in the books, they are not fantasy. Well, you could have fooled me. Tor used to put dragons on the covers of his books (up until the 3rd book, I think), but he put up such a fuss that they stopped doing that. That's also the reason that the covers have all been changed recetly. One last bit of insider information-he HATES being compared to Robert Jordan. Having to be the second biggest series published by Tor Books makes him very angry. He thinks he should be first, and that Jordan is a hack. I guess it takes one to know one...</p></blockquote><p></p>
