"What do you mean? You said that you must not eat meat as the balance to the killing you sometimes must do. You see, incorrectly trying to apply a false notion of balance was what caused the problem I was having with my gift." "Lord Rahl, why are you eating meat? You just healed your gift. Maybe we will walk with you toward the pass?" "Lord Rahl," Anson said, waving, as the group joined Richard, Kahlan, and Cara in the shade of the oaks, "we wanted to come out to say good-bye and see you off. "Sure." Richard pulled strips of the meat from his pack, stood, and handed a piece to both Kahlan and Cara. He tore off a strip of dried venison and chewed as he watched Jennsen, Tom, Owen, Marilee, Anson, and a small group of the men finally emerge through the gates an make their way across the waving field of waist-high green grass. The philosophy isn't subtle and its totally absurd. I think the author thinks his own work has this hidden meaning which outlines some sort of coherent philosophy that he himself believes.

Its funny because the series discusses a book within it which was written by Richard's grandfather, a sort of primer for wizards with the gift of prophecy and how a book may have a secret meaning or purpose. Warren's wife (has old face), Bone woman (is old, has one leg), Shota the Witch woman (as far as I can remember, only bit part character so probably hasn't been in it enough), Kahlan. Richard's mother, Sisters of the Dark (repeatedly), Richard's trainer (when she was young, to make her into an evil woman), Swamp woman who sics her swordsmen onto Richard, Sisters of the Light (various), Women in that pacifist country, Redhead delivery girl in that pacifist country, Queen in the pit, Girls in destroyed city.probably more that I've forgotten. I mean here's what I remember off the top of my head There's so much weird stuff with slavery and sadomasochism. the old wizards used a prostitute to make a magic quick transporter since she'd have anybody, man or woman. So much of this sounds insane when it's isolated and stated baldly ie. He's obsessed with rape to an unnerving degree, and there's a weird thing about venereal disease used for revenge in the corrupt kingdom with the magic bell that kills enemies. I read through these books a long time ago, since the whole series was in the library and I was desperate for some fantasy reading (Obligatory face saving disclaimer). It's only through throwing rocks at Gratch that Richard finally understands the nature of the sacrifice that Kahlen made for him, though. I'd forgotten about Gratch and Richard's bromantic wrestling. "Hold out your hand."ĭemmin held a shaking hand before her. The Mother Confessor rose to her feet in front of him. The blade came up red.ĭemmin's knuckles around the mace were white. Her arm with the knife strained, and jerked up. When I do, I don't want you to make a sound," she whispered. I've done it for many years, since I was young. "How many of the little boys you've molested have you killed?" She reached down between his legs, gripping him in one hand.
"Spread your legs," she ordered in an icy voice. The coldness of her voice sent a shiver through Zedd as he watched the big man kneel before her. "Take off your pants." She waited until he had pulled them joff and stood once moree before her. With her other hand, she unfastened the flanged battle mace from its hook. Kahlan pulled a knife from his belt, ignoring his request. She retuned to Demmin Nass, who stood where he had been told to wait.
