 Sword of Truth
I'm currently reading Naked Empire and was wondering what people thought of the first 7 books, what they about the 8th and what they think'll happen in the next 2 books. Just put your thoughts down and share them with other people.

I liked them all except for book 7 and 8. They just didn't seem as good as the first 6 for some reason. My favorite one though was Temple of the Winds.

Sword of Truth
I was just thinking about a Sword of Truth movie. If guys could tell me who should play who, director and if they should follow the books or start before or even after the 10 books Goodkinds contracted for.
And any mods, I'm not sure if I should have put this in the movie discussion section or in the book. So I put in the book. You guys can move it if you decide it shouldn't be here.

I think that they shouldnt make a movie of it. It would be too hard and for all ten books it would be very long.

I thought they stopped having anything to say after Temple of the Winds. Naked Empire just consists of Rahl's ridiculous sermonising about "freedoms" when he is the dictator for life of an imperialist nation! And why the heck did noone kill the spawn of the imperial order troops??
The first three were enjoyable though, despite bad grammar. The original is best, but I found the sado masachism segment too prolonged and intense. Not that it was gratuitous of course...

YEah I thought the story was merging too much after the Temple of winds....... I thought Soul of Fire was great!
The second book was my favorite I think...because EVERYTHING started to unwind.
I hate how in book 8 we are kinda left with Richard still poisoned.......

In the end of book 8 Richard wasn't poisoned; he has gotten rid of the poison after he got his gift unwonkered(nifty word, eh?). He figured out how to make the antidote and got Kahlan to make it as well as other people to help make it.

He didn't "learn" how to make the cure, his magic guided him. I didn't like how whenever Richard was stuck in a bad position his magic would magically get him out. It got repetitive and boring in the later books, like in book 8, he was asleep, and the magic woke him up in time for him to get out, just before the house he was in exploded in flames. It didn't say why the magic woke him up, just that it did.

As the author seems to hate peace protestors so much, why didn't he get the "holes in the world" to kill the bastard offspring of those invading troops?  Wouldn't that have made the story so much more satisfying?

Wouldn't that have gone against the idea of everyone having a right to their life?

But the outcome was that Rahl no longer had any hangups about killing those whom he felt deserved it. That stopped his gift being "tied in a knot."

But Rahl also believed that bastard children, even those resulting from very evil people (such as Darken Rahl), don't deserve death simply because they were born in such circumstances.. This is one of the obvious themes behind all of the Sword of Truth Books. I illustrate further by Richard asking the spirit woman to have her child.

The point is that you have a right to live, as does everyone, and you have a right to defend that life. In fact, if you fail to defend it you are condoning the actions of those who would deny you life.

I prefered the first two to the last six - Rahl gets to be such an hypocrite.

There's gonna be 12 or 13 books. The current plot will end at 9 or 10 and Goodkind is doing a trilogy after that. No word yet on whether or not the trilogy will have the same characters.
