Listening to the Sword of Truth series audiobooks. My impression so far: meh. Lots of preaching, fallacies and inconsistencies in between some decent action and fighting sequences. I guess MoR has ruined the fantasy genre for me.
(spoilers)
In the first books I liked the story. There is a hero who must fight not only against his opponents but often also against his self-proclaimed allies. There is an overpowered opponent capable of magic, neutralizing magic, long-distance mind reading, politics, propaganda, leading armies, mass destruction, and conquering the world. I was really curious how this hero could succeed to defeat such opponent. Unfortunately, even the author was unable to solve this puzzle well, and the conflict resolution pretty much did not make sense.
There was a recent discussion considering the idea of a monthly Book (later expanded to movies, links, etc) thread. The poll was pretty unanimous that this was A Good Idea (tm). The past two threads have had a decent amount of activity, so let's keep going.
