There are some pretty good moments in his books -- my major complaint is the same one I have of Jordan -- after writing so many books in a series, can we please have some closure? Even a hint that the end of the story is coming? For whatever reason, both authors seem to have lost their way...in Jordan I suspect it is the huge cast of characters and the complexity of his plot (he has LOTS of subplots going on in addition to the main series plot) -- I'm not sure what is going on with Goodkind. I do know hew has gone from telling stories about dragons and other cool mythological creatures to telling stories about pet goats...

Perhaps I'll come for you myself some night. You ought to see me...my fur is white now, pale as snow,but the stature, the majesty, the power, those have not left me...We are the direwolves, the nightmares who haunt your racial memories, the dark shapes circling endlessly beyond the light of your fires.~George R.R.
