The Goodkind Parodies

Revised! 31/08/06


These were all posted on the Let's Mock Terry Goodkind threads at westeros.org by me and various people, and I've decided to collect them all into one place for the sake of posterity. The Mad Moose has kindly provided links to all the actual Goodkind quotes these are lampooning, but if you can't be bothered to read them all (or if Terry's prose makes your eyes hurt) here is a quick summary:


Richard | Kahlan | Other Wizards | Nicci | Goats, Gars and other animals | The Bad Guys | Terry Goodkind | The Parodies!


  • Richard Rahl is the hero. He wields the Sword of Truth, which has the word "Truth" embossed on the handle, and is powered by rage. He is also a War Wizard, which is basically a type of rare wizard that can do all sorts of special magic. He is used as the paragon of morals and virtue, and of Objectivist doctrine. He wears what is described as a "war wizard outfit."

  • While being tortured by the enemy, Richard used his magic power to kick an (evil) 8-year-old girl in the jaw in a convoluted escape plot; the phrase used by Goodkind to describe this power is "Richard's thing rose up in him".

  • Richard originally stops eating meat when he becomes a wizard, but eventually Goodkind changes his mind and has Richard make an elaborate justification of why Meat is Good.

  • In one book, Goodkind creates a nation of pacifists (led by a small boy) as a strawman argument to display why Pacifism is Wrong. The pacifists stage a peaceful demostration to stop Richard from going to war; Richard slaughters the protestors, who are "armed only with their hatred for moral clarity." Richard also kills unarmed council members.

  • Richard learns super fighting skills just by holding his sword; he also learns things like how to grab arrows out of the air (more than once) and advanced algebra. Later, he can learn this from any sword, not just a magic one. He is also able to recreate an antidote from remembering how it tasted.

  • Richard, while captured by the enemy, manages to steal a sword by pretending to stretch, then kills several dozen soldiers before being captured again. The captain of the guard is so impressed that he asks Richard to be on his sports team. (the Imperial sport of Ja La)

  • Richard makes very long speeches. Very, very long speeches.

  • Richard abandons his troops at one point because he doesn't think they are worthy of him.

  • Richard's latest battle tactics are simple - his army of D'Harans is too small to take on the huge enemy army, so instead he orders them to go to the enemy homeland and slaughter all the civilians, removing the ears of anyone who preaches the enemy faith. Because this is the only moral thing to do.

  • Nearly all women want to seduce Richard; Duchess Lumholz tries to do this with food. Later, it turns out that she was only doing this because of nipple magic (don't ask). Richard actually turns out to be a bit of a prude.

  • Kahlan is Richard's wife, and a Confessor, which gives her the power to magically bind men to her will as permanent slaves. Richard is able to protect himself from her magic by his love for her (aah!)

  • She is almost raped at least 9 times throughout the series, but always manages to escape/be rescued in the nick of time. On one occasion, she is attacked by a chicken that is not a chicken, but evil incarnate. It has an evil cackle.

  • At one stage, Kahlan has to lead an small army in a fight against a large one, in winter. Her cunning plan is to have all the soldiers strip naked and paint themselves white, so the enemy will think they are ghosts. Surprisingly, this works. All deserters who were given the option to leave before the battle are later tracked down and killed.

  • One of the enemy soldiers breaks into Kahlan's camp and kills a wizard. Kahlan orders that he be tortured to death slowly over several hours.

  • Kahlan's half-sister, the Queen of Galea, has a breakdown (following a gratuitous gang-rape) and temporarily hands over the queenship to Kahlan, who promptly annexes Galea to Richard's empire. When their half-brother Harold comes to tell Kahlan they are not happy about this annexation, and that Galea wishes to remain neutral in the war, Kahlan vows to destroy Galea, murder all its citizens and send her sister back to the rapists. Harold is then murdered by one of the wizards and this is treated as a good thing.

  • One of Kahlan's previous Confessor-power victims was an innocent man, so he is magically transformed into a wolf. So everything's all right in the end.

  • To enter a temple, Kahlan (for some reason) has to marry one of Richard's evil half-brothers. However, in the dark there's the old switcheroo and it turns out that it's Richard after all.

  • Despite being quite prim in real life, Kahlan has to act like a slut on several trumped-up occasions. It seems that Goodkind likes writing about sluts.

  • Phantom begins with Kahlan not knowing who she is...

  • Zeddicus Zul Zoroander is a wizard, and also Richard's grandfather and mentor. He says "Bags!" a lot; this is possibly intended to be a swearword.

  • Du Chaillu is a sort of sorceress that Richard rescues using a cunning ruse. She later has her super warriors try to kill him, and then claims him as her husband.

  • Betty is a goat, who is noble (I'm not sure why). Betty is possessed by an evil spirit, but rescued by Richard.

  • Gratch is a gar, a type of furry dinosaur. Richard befriends the orphaned Gratch, but later has to drive him away to save his life. Gratch later returns with an army of gars to save Richard in the middle of a battle. Gratch says "Gratch luuuug Raaach Arrrrg" a lot; apparently this means "Gratch loves Richard."

  • Scarlet is a magical talking dragon that Richard befriends.

  • Nicci is an evil sorceress who likes to torture people; she doesn't like lice. She is converted into a good guy when Richard carves a statue of Life (a man and a woman looking happy and alive, or something) and she falls to her knees and weeps with joy.

  • When infiltrating the enemy camp, she avoids recognition by taking her top off; the men are so distracted by her boobs that then never look at her face. She then wreaks bloody havoc and escapes. Shortly afterwards (?) she rips out someone's still-beating heart with her bare hands.

  • Nicci Someone called Nadine* tries to seduce Richard; her plan is to have sex with his brother in front of him and invite him to join in. She is surprised when this doesn't work. Nicci's seduction tactics are surprisingly similar.

  • Nicci still tortures people in the service of the good guys, but now it's OK because she's doing it for the right reasons. It turns out that her badness was due to some evil commies taking over when she was young.

  • Drefan is Richard's half-brother and is evil. Richard turns out to have many evil half-brothers, one of whom starts off pretending to be a good guy, and then tries to outlaw fire with a moving speech about a housefire that reduces the crowd to tears.

  • Drefan demostrates his evilness by killing prostitutes.

  • Richard eventually kills Drefan by ripping his spine out through his stomach. Despite this, he is still able to have one last go with a sword before expiring.*

  • The Sisters of the Dark are some evil nuns. They have dirty monster sex with nambles and numerous other excuses for pointless gang-bangs.
  • Darken Rahl is the first bad guy, who turns out to be Richard's father, is killed by Richard at the end of the first book, but still manages to come back in several sequels. He had a cult of "Master Rahl worshippers" - these worshippers now worship Richard. His female red-leather-clad torturers, the Mord Sith, now also serve Richard.

  • Denna is the Mord-Sith that first captures Richard. She later turns out to just have had a difficult childhood.

  • Jagang is the leader of the Imperial Order, who are the main bad guys. Their philosophy is a bastard mix of communism and Islam, where everyone has to serve the collective and will go to heaven if they die in battle (or somesuch). Goodkind spends several pages at a time detailing the atrocities committed by the IO, in case we were in any doubt about whether they were the bad guys. They also make captured enemies eat their own testicles. They enjoy eating the testicles of captured enemies; it is Kahlan who makes enemies eat their own testicles.**

  • Princess Violet is the 8-year-old whose jaw gets kicked by Richard; she returns later with her tongue grown back, in the company of a witch called Six.

  • A Yeard is a word born of a typo, which now means the type of beard/ponytail combination sported by Goodkind himself.

  • Goodkind has some trouble with irregular past participles; he also overuses the words "thing" and "instantly," and parts of anatomy behave in peculiar ways (especially eyes). Many points are stated and re-stated to the point of utter redundancy. His book dedications are peculiar.

  • Ayn Rand is Goodkind's hero. People who Goodkind disapproves of are treated in other ways, such as the evil emperor Bertrand Chambor and his evil wife Hildemara, apparently based on the Clintons...

So, with that out of the way, here are the parodies - thanks to all contributors, who are credited to the creator's westeros.org screen name.

Hey, Anonymous 3! As it happens, all my Goodkind plot info comes from actual quotes from the Sword of Truth series, posted by the noble Mad Moose on the westeros forum, all referenced so you can check if you like.

You do use some actual quotes, but you completely thrash any meaning the quotes actually have, and come up with your own meaning behind them. Your misuse of them in such ways then is just as bad as misquoting the books completely. Anybody can take situations out of context and either make the characters villians or heros, it does not take that much talent. The sad part is, you spend so much time dedicated to hate an author. How is that laughable to hate someone so much?

I feel sorry for the people that read this before reading the books themselves, as when you take a quote out of context, it changes the meaning completely, as well as just makes it sound stupid.

I actually slogged through the first 5 books out of sheer boredom and lack of anything better to read (stuck in the boondocks with a whole lot of sci-fi/fantasy, no way to get any more, and I'd already re-read the good ones too many times). I kept hoping it would get better, but after the second book, it was just the trainwreck fascination that kept me at it for the next three. No matter how bad this article makes his books sound, they cannot do justice to the sheer mind-melting cheesiness of his writing.

I will have to sue the owners of this website for attempted murder. On numerous occasions I succumbed in laughter which ended in fits.
Like many I was lured to the SoT series many years ago. And what started as a fun series (no more no less) ends in a rally at Wannsee.
I like that you proof “things” (yes!) I thought for some time but was too lazy to read back. I own only 1 TG book so if I wanted to read back I had to get them from the library.
It’s a shame you’re fighting an uphill battle bc TG can always justify the noble acts of his protagonists by making the bad guy’s more and more evil. Nevertheless, you can always resort in killing his readers for by reading they are just as guilty as the man himself.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for this glorious compilation of hilarity, and saving me the trouble of navigating the forums! I've spent the last 2 hours laughing my spinal column out through my stomach, repeatedly, in between bouts of mortal combat with my liberal-communist siblings. I admit to following the SoT series up until chainfire, clutching onto some hope that redemption was possible. I look at these quotes, pointing out the obvious, and can only wonder at how I managed to miss so much. I blame my lack of experience with fantasy at the time, and am happy to report my discovery of the many brilliant authours fantasy enjoys.

PS: I work in a book store, and met a customer in the fantasy section who had NEVER READ any fantasy novel aside from gookinds (!!!) - all of which he had read several times! I sacrificed my last copy of Lynch's LLL in an attempt to save him... I only hope it was not in vain.

Hi Adam,
I'd like to join in the debate on Facebook, but at the moment it seems to be members only. Just one small point, though - I'm not sure how you can say this is "out of context" when full quotes are provided in support. Could you point out some instances where the context is missing or inaccurate?

5:15 pm  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

You can always PM me on facebook and we can talk if you don't wish to join the group. Otherwise I offer this example of how most of this is out of context.

It says, "They enjoy eating the testicles of captured enemies; it is Kahlan who makes enemies eat their own testicles.**"

Actually this only happened one time, and it was to a man who rapes and murders young boys.

10:43 pm  
Blogger Alice said...

Hmm, yes. And to give it even more context, this testicle-eating happened just after Kahlan had wiped this man's personality with her Confessor power. This is a very morally complex situation (is torture ever right? Is the personality-wiped guy still punishable for his past actions? Isn't personality-wipe punishment enough? etc) that is just written off with some knee-jerk vengeance. For a someone with a supposed interest in philosophy, Goodkind ignores all the implications and goes for the Bronze Age eye-for-an-eye method without even blinking.

12:42 pm  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

You are ignoring the nature of the confessor’s power. It is the power of love, and as such, being able to acquiesce to Kahlan’s request would give him insurmountable joy. Frankly it would have been worse for him to simply have had Kahlan say that she was displeased with him. The punishment he was given was for our benefit.

6:17 pm  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Adam, you're joking, right? That has to be the stupidest thing I've heard all week. Are you actually trying to say that Kahlan did this man a favor by making him rip off and eat his own balls?

12:38 pm  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Actually the part about "they eat the testicles of their enemies" is not in reference to what Kahlan did to Demmin Nass in WFR, but is rather quoted from a later book (apologies I am not certain which one - might be Faith of the Fallen) and refers to the Imperial army who feed these "delicacies" to their soldiers.

This is one of a number of pathetic and obvious devices used to clue the reader in to who the bad guys are.

I don't actually mind this kind of purile nonsense in fantasy novels, the genre is littered with other similar examples. However when the author believes his work to be something beyond a normal everyday pulp fantasy novel and gives verbose, arrogant and philosophically driven speaches about how it is not merely fantasy but a story about "important human themes" I am just forced to laugh and call him on his BS.

4:30 pm  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

...I'll that say that the Confessor's power is not love. How can it be one when the person's affected is wiped out of the very core of their personality? Sure, some people turn stupid or obedient when they're 'in love', and may experience times when they completely overly devoted to their 'loved ones' but many of these are unhealthy relationships and is not love at all (I will also argue that this people already had in they nature to be etremely devoted or stupid when in love. In Kahlan's case, she wipes every trace of personality in the person and turns into a shell).

What Kahlan's power is is blind, obessive devotion, the one that leads to self-destruction. It is a mockery of love.

The irony is that he is chopping and changing his opinion in every book it seems.

Thank you for providing me some laughter and finally vindicating my dislike of Goodkind.

The last link, Essays on the Sword of Truth, is broken, I believe. I actually enjoyed this series when I began reading it in high school, which disturbs the hell out of me now. To "the wolf maid": I'm pretty sure Goodkind describes Kahlan's power as 'love' because he thinks actual love IS destructive, just any other altruistic or non-selfish impulse. At least Ayn Rand had an excuse for being so warped....

My friend reads Sword of truth and gets something out of it. Does that mean he is an insane self righteous objectivist? Not really.

After reading much of Goodkind's interview quotes it was hard for me personally to stomach reading the rest of the series.

Something about him seemed bloated,egotistical, self serving, and ill informed.

I won't pick on him for being dyslexic because that is unfair.
I won't even say everything he writes utterly sucks.

I will admit there is better literature out there.

However in the end I've seen "GoodKind hate" taken to the ridiculous low of ostracizing fantasy readers just for having enjoyed SOT and that is taking it too far.

Just because someone enjoyed an author's books doesn't mean they're similiar to the author in real life. Have fun with the truly hilarious farces posted here but at the same time don't get too fanatical in your angst lest you become no better than the person you criticize.

Wonderful blog! I picked up "Stone of Tears" at a library sale, and I'd got the idea of reading as much fantasy I could to work out how not to write dreck.

Looking back, there was very little sense I could make out of it, so I read some others, and couldn't make any sense out of them either, so I quietly dropped them.

The only part of Terry Goodkind's entire series that I actually liked, was when Richard was moving around through the Sylf - if I remember correctly - and is wearing that coat and carrying that knife, and is slowly turning into that non-human ... that seemed to be the only part of the entire series where Richard is an actual person. The rest of the time he's a "cypher", and so is the Confectioner - oops, Confessor, who I couldn't believe in, either.

Thanks for your comments, Anonymous 11.32. I'd like to make three points in reply:

1) I've never understood the argument that you need to be an expert in a field in order to criticise it. I'm no film director, but I have no trouble asserting that The Phantom Menace is a pile of shit. I also don't need to have worked as Chancellor of the Exchequer to figure out that Gordon Brown did a piss-poor job of managing the economy. Particularly in the case of books, the readers are the best people to be making the criticisms, as we are the people that are supposed to be buying the things.

2) It's a bit dim to be equating popularity with quality. The song "Poing topped the charts in several countries, but I don't think anyone would try to argue that it was actually any good. Likewise, witness the runaway success of the Left Behind series, some of the worst books ever to be published. Publishers want what sells, and that's not necessarily the same as what's good.

3) I do love your comment that the publishers are "bigger and smarter" than me, and so I should take their opinion instead of my own. Whatever happened to Using my Reason, eh? Go on, just tell me that Richard Is Always Right and get it over with.

Anonymous 8.20 is exactly right - Goodkind's philosophy is horrific, and deserves all the mockery we can throw at it.

I've read the entire SoT series in chronological order, and must confess that everything in this site is absolutely true. When I read the first one, Wizards' First Rule, I thought it was a pretty good fantasy book. As the series progressed, it became increasingly mediocre and excrutiatingly patronizing. Like a good addict, though, I just had to know what would happen with the Jagang fellow. Every new installment, worse that the previous one, left me with the bitter dissapointment that Richard wouldn't kill the commie Mongol. Again, I felt cheated of my $10-$15. The human drama became increasingly stupid: (1) Richard would always end up naked in bed with willing beatiful women, but nothing would happen. (2) Far too many rapes. In the books, "rape" must be as common as the conjugations of the verb "to be". Also, it was treated as a casual event. Women raped acted as if some bad guy stole from them a parking spot, not as a massive traumatic experience. Anyway, the list can go on ad nauseam.

I find it odd to see that some believe that the ideas promoted by Goodkind are "disturbing" and "horrific."

I think the point of Goodkind's books is to oppose those ideas that *are* disturbing and horrific, i.e. collectivism -- religion and communism.

Jagang and the Imperial Order are the perfect poster-children for collectivists.

whitetower,
Are you sure that Richard is opposed to religious devotion? I seem to recall one scene in which the Mord Sith actually *bow* and pray to him (something along the lines of "Master Rahl guide us. Master Rahl teach us. Master Rahl protect us. In your light we thrive. In your mercy we are sheltered. In your wisdom we are humbled. We live only to serve. Our lives are yours"). Perhaps the reason that many consider Goodkind's books "disturbing" and "horrific" is the inconsistency between Richard's words and deeds. Goodkind claims to extol reason and the ability to think for yourself, but the message he actually delivers is that Richard Is Always Right.

If you wish to debate my views feel free. However I most likely won't(Yeah, not a real word. Get over it.) be returning and as such won't see your responses.

(Also avoid reading anything that Goodkind, the author says. He comes across as a pompous ass.)

After approximately 9,000 pages of The Sword of Truth I knew that I was in trouble when nothing was settled with just 100 pages left in the "Confessor." In the last instant the untouchable Six was melted, the invincible Jagang simply had a ring placed on his neck and was killed and the vast unbeatable Peoples' Army was wished into the cornfield. Why didn't he just have Richard wake up from a bad dream.

Having read all the books, I enjoyed the series. Yes, I caught on to the hypocrasy more than once, though if you read the end you would know that some of it got "fixed", but I agree it should have been done earlier, if he really had been such a great objectivist. I agree with the ideas of objectivism, but am willing to accept that people don't agree with them, and thats the way they choose to live. I found most of the work written on here funny as hell, and practically cheered for the Fear and Loathing one, because I believe it to be on of the greatest movies ever. And I agree on the whole issue of the Confessors, I thought they were a bad idea from the start, and when their power(specifically, what it does) was revieled, I realized it was an entirely shitty idea. Something that I think should have been mentioned, remember the guy wrongfully accused of raping the child, when it had been Dennim that actually did. He was touched by the power proven he was not guilty, and what, returned to normal. No, they turned him into an animal, which "gave him back a small measure of himself" This killed any like of confessors I may have still had. So you are touched by the confessor power, proven innocent, then told "whoops, sorry about that, here, we'll turn you into a wolf who is still very fanatically devoted to the confessor, but not AS badly, that makes what we did to you okay, right?" My answer was no, it wouldn't be. I was surprised when the Parodies didn't have that one in there.

Sadly, I once read books by Goodkind. Then I found decent authors, like Pratchett, Martin, and Bujold. Now I don't need to read anymore dreck to entertain myself.

This is a pretty great collection, I especially liked the essays. Those really point out everything that's wrong with this series.

I actually sort of liked the first two SoT books; they weren't great, as far as fantasy goes, but at least decent enough to make me keep on reading. But when that hundred-page-long torture/rape/whinefest-ordeal started, followed by the autocastration of that pedo guy, I sort of started wondering just what the hell kind of perverted morality those "heroes" are supposed to represent (seriously, Confessors are the worst literary idea ever - that mindraperess Kahlan deserves every single bad thing that happens to her, and worse.)

Curiously, I felt much less sympathy for that poor little boy from book one - he got so little screentime, I guess he was just a nonperson to me. Whatever hatred for the villain Goodkind tried to stir up with that, he failed miserably. And you would suppose that's a bad thing, considering what fantasy is usually about.

But when you really think about it, this is actually a great representation of everything that's wrong with moralities that focus on sides and ideals instead of actions. On the one hand, you have the childkiller Darken Rahl (evil overlord extraordinaire), who certainly is evil enough in his own right. But, on the other hand, you have his son Richard Rahl - a psychopathic mass-murderer with his own deluded cult of personality, accompanied by his pet monster Kahlan, who makes people eat their own balls through mind-control. It's like watching a deathmatch of Hitler versus Stalin, you can't decide who you'd like to see dead MORE.

Taken together, this makes it kind of hard to sympathize with anyone in the books, really. The only people you can really relate to are the innocent victims, like that poor boy who didn't even get more than four of five lines, because heroes and villains are both equally monstrous.

Great summary! I read the SoT series through maybe the 6th book but eventually just felt plain offended by everything he wrote. The bulleted list of excerpts above are dead on accurate and really not taken out of context.

I did take amusement at one TG's dedications to the intelligence community -- written during the time of several massive US intelligence failures!

While I salute TG for managing to write and publish so many pages of fantasy novels, I suspect that he is deluded and/or a total nut case. He'd be a great running mate for Ron Paul.

I've been a Goodkind fan for many years, and I must say, I'm offended at the content. His beautiful book has brought to light many important issues that many others have been too cowardly to expose. Most notable of these is the threat of chickens. I commend Goodkind's bravery for finally exposing their malevolent treachery by giving one of their foul ilk such a prominent place in his story. And you would dare mock such an important accomplishment! When the evil Chicken King is raping your nubile flesh in his Coop of Horror, you will be sorry. Sorry, I say!

Ok, just this to the third anonymous poster.... your just giving the person who made the article more justification to believe every reader of the SoT is an idiot by making such weak arguments so pelase stop.

As for the original poster, can i please ask, do you think that everyone who has read SoT are idiots or just Goodkind. I mean, I am well aware of the latent problems in the series (it would help if Mr Goodkind took so severe writing lessons for starters! also, he could kill off Richard and I would feel much safer reading them for it.... or at least stop him from making speeches but anyway...!) but some problems exist in almost every fantasy work. I mean, one of the most promoted works I have seen on the anti-goodkind forums is the WoT series by Robert Jordan, which I am reading currently and so far, I could pcik a million and one problems there as well... but at least I would not misquote or promote issues that are misquoted. Furthermore, when your talking about people doing bad things in the series for good reasons and using that as a criticism your ignoring the fact that even Kant, who was one of the strongest proponents of wrong being wrong, could not deny that sometimes (ie ticking bomb situations) need people who will act immorally in dangerous situations. But yeah.... as you said you havent read the books, so your not going to be able to answer my problems with your criticisms. however, i feel you should lay off goodkind's novels until you actually read them, otherwise your a poor critic!

The first three books (Wizard's First Rule, Stone of Tears, Blood of the Fold) could have made a pretty OK standalone trilogy. Nothing great, nothing of the caliber of Martin, for instance, but perfectly mediocre fantasy.

Then, book four threw everything open again, but was still relatively unobjectionable.

Then, book five began throwing in the objectivist rants, and the series took a nosedive. FotF, especially, is a paean to unrestrained Randian libertarianism, using some of the worst strawmen ever concieved. And it GETS WORSE.

Dear God, I'm glad I stopped reading after Chainfire.

Although Richard was far from perfect, I think it was what made him human. Hating the Author and accussing him of thinking like Richard is not fair to him. He made an imperfect character making his personality more real than a simple fairy tail and the knight in shining armor.

that Kahlan woman, looking back, was messed up in major ways, and was a master of disproportionate retribution. Richard was easily as bad as what he fought, and I would not be surprised if a few years later another Seeker comes along looking for Richard's head.

You seem to like to dance around the truth. You also have an annoying habbit of picking and chosing lines out of context. This can be done with any book to make it seem to say what you want it to. Furthermore, you are still only helping Goodkind by making this site. People will still read the books based on what you say, just to get a 'laugh' or something. Then, when they finally find out how wrong you are, you will have earned Mr. Goodkind a new fan. (or possibly several depending on how many people they tell) I expect that Goodkind greatly appreciates people like you that give him free publicity.

A long time ago I read the first book in this series because the reviews seemed good and the book store seemed to be promoting it (I've chanced on some pretty good reads doing this, Rothfuss & Sanderson books namely). It was the first time in a while that I was content with not reading the rest of a series. Frankly, Goodkind was a bad writer who I bore no ill will.

For a while I forgot about it until I was searching amazon one day and was reading reviews for the same book (random browsing and not looking at titles). I couldn't believe the 4-5 star reviews. I thought his books fit more in with teenage drama / angst type literature, not fantasy.

In the spirit of keeping this short, I researched a little about the rest of the series. I very much enjoy this site, as it almost sums up how I feel about this author.

My friend reads Sword of truth and gets something out of it. Does that mean he is an insane self righteous objectivist? Not really.

After reading much of Goodkind's interview quotes it was hard for me personally to stomach reading the rest of the series.

Something about him seemed bloated,egotistical, self serving, and ill informed.

I won't pick on him for being dyslexic because that is unfair.
I won't even say everything he writes utterly sucks.

I will admit there is better literature out there.

However in the end I've seen "GoodKind hate" taken to the ridiculous low of ostracizing fantasy readers just for having enjoyed SOT and that is taking it too far.

Just because someone enjoyed an author's books doesn't mean they're similiar to the author in real life. Have fun with the truly hilarious farces posted here but at the same time don't get too fanatical in your angst lest you become no better than the person you criticize.

I read up to The Pillars of Creation in high school/first year of college. At the time I thought they were odd but addictive, like a trainwreck (that someone else has already mentioned). I was unfamiliar with Ayn Rand and objectivism until several years later, but the SoT series lines up with that foul doctrine quite well. The bullet points are exactly what happens, as crazy and nonsensical as they are. The book is filled with awful ideas and even worse characters. Terry Goodkind is a Randian lickspittle and a hilariously bad author. I wish I could get the time I spent reading his books back...

Well despite being a big Terry fan I must say some of the things were funny. Most of it though were bad attempts to mock something that the writer themselves didn't understand. No offense, I personally liked the books and you obviously didn't. Nothing wrong with that and you can feel free to post all you want. I did find some humor in it and I'm sure even Mr. Goodkind himself would. But these are just words people, and they only go as far as who reads them.

I will say that despite some of the quotes being taken directly from the book, they are taken way out of context that you could find any silly meaning to put to them for humor. None the less, it was an interesting quick read. Chances are though I will never come back to read them again so I wont complain and scream "TERRY MAKES MONEY! DO YOU?" while stomping my feet like some of the other posters. lol

much as i have come to dislike goodkind's books, i have to say a few things :
1) he actually finished his series, unlike a certain fat guy who blogs about figurines and sports and calendars.
2) if goodkind had tried to shorten the story, it would have been a masterpiece.
3) almost any long series has it's problem, unless it's focused on specific storylines, with specific story mechanism.
3) this hatred of goodkind is pathetic.

Any writing can be torn apart like this and be made to look ridiculous. Overall, I liked the series. Nothing in this world is perfect.

I don't know that the books could be seen as terrible enough to justify this kind of fanatical effort. Personally, I think expressing ones opinion on the level of this blog borders on lunacy and is likely a depraved cry for attention. OH!!! Look at me, I have an opinion like everybody else!!! But MINE is louder!! Thus, it is RIGHT and BETTER!

Read'em for yourself, make your own opinion. I found them entertaining, not everyone will. Whether you enjoy them or you do not, I'm pretty sure you're not any less intelligent, or less of a person because of it as some people would seem to want to make you think.

The concept of context:

1. The circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood and assessed.

The books actually don't require any defending. They do alright on their own. GG

Sword of Truth is alright. If he'd done like they did in Pillars of Creation and relegated the story Mary Sues to secondary roles from thereon in, Goodkind would have saved himself a lot of grief and probably salvaged himself as a writer. Instead, he used Kahlan and Richard as author inserts, ruining what was otherwise a halfway decent story.

12:36 am  
Anonymous Andrew said...

While I don't really agree with much you wrote here some of the goodkind meets so and so are funny. I do Want to point out some errors. Kahlan only makes one person eat their own testicals. That person murdered and raped dozens of young boys. She also did it in a fit of rage after she thought Richard was dead. Honestly. I think we should have every child rapest cut off their own testicles and eat them then die. I call that justic. Also Richard never eats meat. Or goes on about meat after book 1. I am sure their are others. But don't feel the need to nit pick them all after I find a few mistakes I just take it all as humor not something of any value. Also why would you start with anything other than book one? No one is a perfect writer. Not everyone has to enjoy every writer. But just cuz you don't like something does not mean it does not have value or is good. I really dislike lord of the rings. I think he was a really bad writer. But I also know it's just me and I don't need to spread my venom around. I also read all the books before I juged him.

I stumbled upon this blog today while looking up info on Goodkind for the fun of it. I hadn't known of the hatred the masses felt for the man! After reading several quotes by him, however, that became readily apparent. I have read the SoT series in it's entirety several times, and enjoyed it. That was probably because I was 11 at the time, and was unable to perceive it's massive flaws. I found this blog to be hilarious, and entirely accurate. I also feel a little guilty about the fact that I began his latest novel today, but I'm going to read it anyway!

Anonymous Steven said...

The Sword of Truth bemused me, frankly. While I find objectivism to verge on the solipsistic, I failed to have the same vehement loathing to Rand's seminal texts as I did with SoT. Undoubtedly they employ the same absolute moral principles while pitching their author avatars against absurd political strawmen. They both ruin the narrative through obscenely long and excruciatingly long monologues of the kitchen sink variety.

But... well -- Rand's works were honest representations of her philosophy and anyone who picked up Atlas Shrugged had a good idea of what they were getting into or soon found out. This isn't so for Goodkind. He produced what I would call mediocre if not terrible standard fantasy fare with some veiled allusions to more right-wing beliefs in his first books. These steadily take an increasingly radical tone, culminating with his Thus Spoke Zarathustra fan-fiction. I felt hoodwinked personally, as a series completionist, in epic fashion. Furthermore, as someone who lives and breathes fantasy literature, what Goodkind did with the smattering of SoT with tropes and concepts he lifted from superior texts felt something like a violation. He didn't improve upon them or develop them in any meaningful fashion, he degraded them into his easiest-fit lowest common denominator style of world building and character design.

I was particularly appalled with the mindless and utterly meaningless use of sexual violence to prove his strawmen were superterribaderific. Along with the general thematic resentment for all magic or magical creatures. It felt like he was taking Tinkerbelle, molesting her just enough to be disgusting, and then curb stomping her with relish. It's not a pleasant thought.

Considering the lows the "heroes" sinks to in the story, sexual assault as the party game of Evil Empire and Co was the only way to maintain the designated good-guy role without actually correcting his frequent hypocrisy. That and "wicked smirks".

Having all things fantastic and magical being made out to be eldrich abominations or otherwise implicitly horrific, I suspect was the only way an absolutely atheistic and "rational" worldview like objectivism could possibly be taken seriously (using the term loosely) in a fantasy world. It's difficult to accomplish such an extreme form of self-centred morality unless the characters are capable of dismissing the various supernatural beings and forces which they've met, spoken with and... are. For instance, the idea that this "creator" the Evil Empire speaks of might actually exists and agree with their collectivist worldview is hardly unreasonable when they've fought the actual devil and perform miraculous feats at key climax points. So Tinkerbelle has to die, don't you dare clap or it might invalidate their insanity with a higher moral order.

These books did what none had succeeded in doing before, make me apathetic and even angry at fantasy as a genera. Just for allowing this to be published and read internationally as if it were the equal of Tolkien, Sanderson, Lieber, Le Guinn, Rothfuss or Jordon to name a few. The high school-level prose and plot holes you could drive Richard's ego through weren't a big help either.

Because I felt somewhat tricked into the series, (particularly after learning it was Goodkind's intention to take the objectivist route all along) I'm profoundly glad this blog exists. No one should unknowingly subject themselves to this level of disillusionment and idiocy by naively picking up SoT off the shelf simply because it employs the shallow surface of a fantasy novel. "How bad could it be?" is no longer my default mode of picking summer reading.

So thank you for this blog, for the next person who comes along and is now wiser.

I just finished SoT today, and enjoyed the series greatly. It's a fantasy book, so I don't really impose my restrictions on it. It's a different world, with different history, and different societies, and cultures.

I really enjoyed them, and having borrowed them from a friend, I'll now be buying my own set. That being said: Quite a few of the things above made me laugh.

I'd again lean on the defense that it's like 7 or 8000 pages of book, written over nearly 10 years, a few inconsistencies should be expected. The thing that I liked was it took me on a crazy journey. I enjoyed the characters. I think their flaws and complexes defined them and made them easier to connect with.
