Many thanks to Mr.Shine and J for their comments on my view on Terry Goodkind’s The Legend Of The Seeker. It seems that Mr. Goodkind has probably sold his soul to the TV industries.
Mr.Shine had a few good points on the matter which dawned on me when i was delving into the whole novel. But then again, we humans tend to ignore the minor or major flaw in plots in order for us to enjoy fiction.
Yes i loved the novels and after my brain has been fried by the images of The Legend Of The Seeker i dont think i can go back to the novel again with the same enthusiasm i felt when i read it for the first time. (This is from a guy who read the Elenium and the Tamuli trilogy 3 times ). The haunting face of Kahlan and Richard of the TV series will forever haunt me.
What i am afraid of is that with the touch of Sam Raimi this will probably be turned into another Hercules and Xena franchise. What will happen next? Probably a sidekick will be given to Richard who is a Mord-Sith just to put in the funny factor.
Curses…..
