seriousficChapter 10
More villainy. Ho-hum. Our Big Bad gets in arguments with old ladies and proves that he was always picked last for debate team. Because smart villains are for Commies!
Basically, he figures out that Kahlan faked her death with magic. You know that scene in Inglorious Bastards where Hans Landa figures out there are Jews hiding in a house? Well, imagine that scene if the farmer were serving him milk and all the time going "Man, them Jews love them some hiding. Why, you could say there are Jews right under the floorboards!"
Chapter 11
Still more villainy. Apparently, the D'Harans spent two hours doing devotionals to Richard, which I feel would've been a good time to exercise his new casual, hands-off managerial style. I'm sure even the Tea Party doesn't pledge allegiance for more than ten minutes. Maybe the difference between him and the evil Darken Rahl is that Richard allowed potty breaks.
Newly-crowned Richard also invites Brogan, the villain with the dubious accent, to a party. Maybe he intends to show him a be-movie. Hey, if Goodkind can keep this up, so can I. Brogan is all het up to go to magic nun las vegas and figure out the magic that's hiding the Mother Confessor, but Richard is swinging his army-dick and man, Brogan isn't fighting his way past an army just to get out of going to a party, not unless it's an MTV Movie Awards after-party or something.
Oh, and Brogan's men are torturing an old lady and a little girl. You know, it's hard to tell with all the moral ambiguity and shades of gray in this book, but I think they may be the antagonists.
