2010 Favorite Character

“We present Lord Rahl, the Seeker of Truth and wielder of the Sword of Truth, the bringer of death, the Master of D’Hara, the ruler of the Midlands, the commander of the gar nation, the champion of free people and bane of the wicked, and the betrothed of the Mother Confessor.”

Would Richard Rahl be my favorite character had I not read the entire Sword of Truth series twice this year? Maybe so. Is there any doubt that Richard Rahl is my favorite character since I have read the entire Sword of Truth series twice this year? Definitely not.

“Boy fulfills destiny” is a brilliant concept, and one that I have enjoyed many times (Luke, Harry, Frodo, Eragon, Percy, et al.). Richard’s fate is far more complex than the others, and that’s what makes him my favorite character. Is he perfect? Nearly, but he can be rather singleminded (a trait which often serves him well, but when it doesn’t….oh, boy.) I think the things I love most about him are the little things; the way he “calls the target” to himself, the way he dances with death, the way he subjugates himself to make others better themselves, the value he places on those around him, and I could go on and on at this point….

Craig Horner, as TV!Richard gives us a good “face to go with a name” and I wish the television series could have gone on longer if for no other reason, to touch on the EPICNESS of the novels. Terry Goodkind, who gives us Book!Richard is the true hero, however, and I can’t wait for The Omen Machine to be released so I can get even more of my favorite character.

    issues. When I look at your blog site in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that,
    wonderful blog!

  4. An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a friend who had been doing a little homework on this.
    And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for
    him… lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thanks for the meal!!
    But yeah, thanks for spending time to talk about this issue here
    on your web page.

  5. certainly like your web site however you need to check
    the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling problems
    and I to find it very troublesome to tell the truth on the other hand I’ll surely come again again.

  6. It’s genuinely very complex in this active life to listen news
    on Television, thus I just use web for that purpose, and
    obtain the hottest information.

  7. Hi there this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to
    know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.

    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get
    guidance from someone with experience. Any help would
    be greatly appreciated!

    browser compatibility issues? A number of my blog
    visitors have complained about my site not operating correctly in Explorer

    add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.

    this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog
    and I look forward to your new updates.

    regular basis, this web page is truly good and the people are really sharing nice thoughts.

  12. Hi, Neat post. There is an issue with your website in internet explorer, would test
    this? IE still is the market leader and a huge section of other
    people will miss your great writing because
    of this problem.

  13. Have you ever considered creating an e-book or guest authoring on other blogs?
    I have a blog based upon on the same ideas you discuss and would love to have you
    share some stories/information. I know my subscribers would appreciate your work.
    If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e mail.

  14. I have been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting

  17. Heya i am for the primary time here. I found this board and I find It really helpful & it helped me out a
    lot. I am hoping to give one thing back and aid others like you aided me.

  18. Wow, marvelous blog layout! How long have you been blogging for?
    you made blogging look easy. The overall look of your web site is
    excellent, let alone the content!

  19. If some one desires to be updated with most up-to-date technologies after that he must be go to see this web page and be up to date every day.

  20. May I just say what a comfort to uncover an individual who actually knows what they are discussing on the web.
    You definitely realize how to bring an issue to light and
    make it important. More and more people should check this out and understand this side of your story.
    I was surprised you aren’t more popular because you most certainly possess the gift.

  21. I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your blog?

    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
    with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.

    Maybe you could space it out better?

  22. What’s up, for all time i used to check webpage posts here early in the daylight, since i love to find out more and more.

  23. Fine way of describing, and pleasant piece of writing
    to take data on the topic of my presentation focus,
    which i am going to deliver in university.
