Oh man, libertarians vs not-mongols, the series! I read through the whole thing when the last trilogy came out and I went from rather liking it (hey, I started reading it in 5th grade and didn't know better) to deciding I'd probably never pick it up again. I think literally every other page of the last trilogy was Richard proselytizing. I've never been the type to pay really close attention to what I'm reading so I'm looking forward to the ripping-apart-in-detail to come!

I don't think tricking people breaks the rules.

TheSmilingJackal posted:Also, this is from a few pages ago, but it really can't be over stated. Dumb poo poo happens in these books because people won't just explain poo poo to each other. I read these books REALLY uncritically but this got to even me. I remember basically shouting at the characters to just open their goddamn mouths and say something useful.

DARKSEID DICK PICS posted:then we just cut to a single snippet of Zedd, who has murdered his way through D'Haran territory trying to grab something that Rahl beat him to. Isn't the thing he's looking for the Book of Counted Shadows? Which Richard's dad took, of course...
