Did you even read Temple of the Winds or Blood of the Fold or Stone of Tears? Talk about a character who makes mistakes, screws up, and watches his plans fall to pieces.

I also feel inclined to say that the series peaked around Temple of the Winds and Faith of the Fallen and went downhill from there as his political philosophies took over from his good story-telling.ДЄnd calling Richard a Gary-Stu is a bit ridiculous. His novels could easily be trimmed significantly, cutting significantly on the prose and redundant dialogue (hell, he could have chucked Naked Empire entirely, and it wouldn't have been a great loss). Secondly, one has to realize that Goodkind's plotting is not great. I can admire that - as I can also admire any author who can complete eleven books with the kind of length/epic plot as he had. However, there's nothing wrong with trying to make a point through one's writing. Furthermore, he has also claimed that he does not read other books (so a lot of the comparisons with Jordan's work tend to fall flat). I've read the entire series, and I used to be a huge fan of the series, but I am going to say that the series is not exactly as bad as you've painted it.ДЇirst of all, it needs to be noted that Goodkind wrote the series as following from his personal philosophies (which are a somewhat garbled version of what Ayn Rand tries to preach), and he wrote the series not with fantasy in mind, but with the philosophies. I went online to read his comments/interviews. So I did something a Harry Potter reader should have learned not to do. I didn't understand how anyone could like this series enough to rec it to me. Of course, this is but one dimension of the retardation that Goodkind has in his novels. His characters contradict themselves constantly. The rest of his novels reek of radical left and right wing ideas - apparently his characters can't decide whether or not they prefer communism or fascism (edit: it leans towards fascism in the late books). The worst part is that Goodkind appears to fully believe that Richard is doing the right thing. Yet, he is never portrayed as anything other than right. He also kills peaceful protesters because. There is also a scene in the books where Richard pretty much justifies gang-rape because it is part a culture's customs, and therefore must be protected. Because this is the only moral thing to do. Richard's latest battle tactics are simple - his army of D'Harans is too small to take on the huge enemy force, 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. However, anyone with half a brain notices that Richard's actions are immoral at best. Furthermore, he writes in such a way as to make his protagonist (Richard) to always be right.

I found it be a terrible fantasy series, full of cliches and unlikable, stereotypical characters. A friend recommended this series to me, so I read it.
