Wow. Talk about not only biting the hand that feeds you, but taking it off at the elbow...

TERRY GOODKIND has been cruelly misjudged: 'First of all, I don't write fantasy. I write stories that have important human themes. They have elements of romance, history, adventure, mystery and philosophy. Most
fantasy is one-dimensional. It's either about magic or a world-building. I don't do either.' (_USA Today_ interview, August 03)

I have to say that Faith of the Fallen is probably one of my favorite books. I think it's probably the best book he's ever written. Too bad it's 5th in the series that many people just can't get into

I will freely admit it took two tries to get into the series, about a decade apart.

But now? 10? 11? books in, it's getting very tiring. I only keep going because, gods, it's GOT to END sometime, even though it SHOULD have probably ended around book 6 or 7.
