Title: Thinly veiled Ayn Rand book.
Review: I don't know... this might be my last Goodkind read. It felt like he read a bunch of Ayn Rand, or maybe just some Objectivist philosophy, and said "Hey! I can write that!" Because that's pretty much what this book is. Not that there's anything wrong with that, really. I mean, I'm a big fan of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. But it felt to me like he really wanted to write a book with that theme, then had to try to figure out how to wedge his characters into the scenario that would let them do that.So I guess I found that part kind of disappointing. It seems like the fairly rich potential Goodkind's characters started with is being squandered at the sake of a message. I understand the logic, but the result, for me, falls flat. Oh well. At least it was a fairly quick read.
