Smart Fiction
I appreciate that Goodkind takes on politically sensitive social issues in the venue of his fantasy. I felt he conveyed well the dangers of pacifism, and the morally repugnant nature of strict non-violence when injustice is present and can only be quelled by violent means. By contrast, the nature of righteous/just retribution and aggression was well portrayed. I laud smart fiction, and this moves well beyond the standard fantasy fare.
