She had people killed though, and abused Rachel. Yes he kicked the little girls tongue off. All I can tell you, is that when I read it, Richard seemed like a guy with a good moral standard. You make some good points, I still enjoy the book though. And I certainly won't drink Goodkind's rabidly-objectivist Kool-Aid or try to defend the absurd or outright bad writing decisions he made.
I appreciate the series for the derivative yet fun fantasy that it is, but that's it. Just about everything that Richard reviled as evil and objectively immoral in the first few books, he turns around and does exactly the same thing later in the series, only now it's totally okay because "he's got a reeeeealy good reason guys, swearsies!" And abandoning his own army because he doesn't believe that they deserve him. So was kicking a young girl's jaw so hard she bit her own tongue off. Yes, mercilessly cutting down those peaceful protesters was an unmatched act of positive morality. He was purely a symbol of truth and positive morality. I liked the fact that he wasn't a grey character. Richards infallible characteristics really influenced me. If that's not intended as a veiled insult, then nothing is. What's with the hate guys? Is it just because there's very little action, or is the book a little too 'your life is your own, rise up and live it' for you? You didn't mean to insult anyone? That either makes you a liar, or makes the last sentences of your original post a hell of a lot more confusing:
