Help[Facts] some just random anagram names from Terry Goodkind's new book, and uh, yeah im back, x-mas vaction sucked... i was sick...
in reply to a message by Deb
in Terry Goodkinds's newest novel in his Series 'The Sword of Truth' , the seventh in the series
there are two sorceress sisters, Lathea and Althea.
Although they are very simply anagrams of eachother, I still like the names.
Does neone else on here read those books, and absolutly addicted.
I got the new one for x-mas and i finished it yesterday, and I am severly dissapointed.
I don't like Jennsen and Sebastian being together first before Tom, and i think Tom should of had a larger role.
Jennsen should of gotten closer to him, and double thought Sebatian more.
Maybe i am just upset because the first 6 books are on the characters Richard and Kahlan, and teh 7th is one 3 compleatly different characters.
Or maybe it was Oba liking to kill everything, and rape and torture everything.
He was to much like Drefan, it was repetative, and I think ol' Mr. Goodkind has a thing for gruesome sex
he sure likes describing sex and killing things...
plus in the first 6 books Jagang sees himself as infailable, but its obvious he knows the true intent of hsi dark purpose,
and is not ridding the world of magic for the good of mankind, but to rule them.
I think the enemy became to human, and i dont think he would fight with his soldiers.
His personality changed to abruptly.
And i think Nyda being Mord Sith would of kicked Oba's ass, Agiel or not.
The end was far to hasty, as if TG wanted to finish it up real quick, or ran out of ideas.
The parting with Sebastian was to quick, and Jennsen never really considered her love.
She feels so much for Tom, who she is barely met, and wtf is with the bloody GOAT! that was annoying! she wouldnt shut up!
and Richard didnt know Oba was evil, and I don't think he would of left him so easily to die, even if he did steal his wife.
And why does he never learn that Oba is his half brother.
Why were the pillars all of a sudden brought into this novel, and no previous mention of Rahl offspring being holes in the world made.
Did it just seem like he was using up the winter time so not to jump compleatly into the war, and just wanted to give us a whoel bloody book on backround info of his sister bcz she has joined the battle now?
Perhaps this serves more purpose later on.
perhaps i was to eager waiting for the book, and to much in love with Kahlan and Richard, after reading all ther other six in 2 months, and waiting another 2 for this work.
Im glad the story is not over tho, i dont know what id do without Richard and Kahlan.
I think i would of read all that about CARA THEN JENNSEN!
How come all the women are sex objects but dont know it.
And the big brave men have to show them the world, and lead them out of their little holes in life.
Why do the women always have to be virgins at like 20-25, and the men have have been everywhere?
Is Terry trying to tell us sumthing about his life?
Did anyone look at the new colour photo of TG at the back of the hardcover! what a creepy guy!
Freaks me out he likes writing on sex and killing so much?
Was it just me or was it to much in the 5th book when the 30yr old women slept with the thousand yr old man?
Why do all the women have to cry whilst havign sex.
I think TG thinks hes some kind of sex deity.
I do enjoy his anal retentivness towards eyes though.
Wow i can babble alot, :S
Later all

Oh...
I read a short story by him once. "A Debt Of Bones," or something. This is a total guess, 'cos I'm hardly an expect in etymology and don't even know what the characters are like, but oh well. Cypher could be short for 'decipher' or something; Nicci could be derived from the Nicole style names, pronounciation aside. If not, Nissa and Nyssa are also probabilities. Or maybe he was just fiddling around with the word "nice." Adie...well, Addie. Addison, Adelaide, etc. Aide. Dreyfan sounds somewhat similar to the surname Dreyfus. Or "dry fan."
However, most fantasy authors I've read tend to just make up random names if the story takes place in a made-up world. :-\ So guessing, while fun for me, is often pointless. I'm currently researching old Irish names to use in my latest bad fantasy story. Uncreative, perhaps, but at least I can add in random symbolism by choosing the meanings carefully. ;)
What other fantasy do you read?

well...
other fantasy novels i like:
Myst; the series: 1) Book of Atrus, 2)the book of Ti'anna, and 3) the book of D'ni
I just started the Outlander series by Diana Garabaldon,
I hate Tolkien, he just cant write..., or at least what i started to read of the Fellowship of the ring, the movie ruled, but i wrote better then him at two, ive never seen such childish works revered...
Sanctium Mosiac series by Guy Garviel Kay, I started the first book, and thororughly enjoyed it, but had to put it down for school a whiel ago and just havent got back on it again,
'A Place in the Hills' by Michelle Paver, I picked this baby up in France, never seen it in Ontario
Christopher Pike's Starlight Crystal, and The Immortal ;), although his work is general over gruesome, meant to instill fear these two works stand out, The Immortal contains a great deal of Greek Mythology, and brings to life new Greek Gods, and the Starlight Crystal is about a woman who lives several lifetimes, and purposes some new and very insightful outlooks on life, which seems a bit out of the ordinary for the usually mundane writings of CP
I want more works by Guy Garviel Kay, like the Fionvar (w/e) Tapastry, and i would like some of the books buy Marion Zimmer Bradly.
A dept of bones is the only novel of Terry Goodkind not of the Sword of Truth series.
I would also like to read the Fire and Ice series, and the Wheel of Time series.
meh, I tink dats it.
What you like to read?
ps. it was Drefan, and a lot of the names in the book are very common, like Tom and Richard.

Drefan? Blast, there goes my theory. -_- Debt of Bones isn't a novel, it's a short story - I guess it's not part of the Sword of Truth series, but it does include some characters from it. Zeddicus, Zorander, etc. Same world, at least. :)
Wheel of Time I've heard a lot about; I read a short story from that too. I tend more towards collections of fantasy short stories than novels now. I haven't actually read any of the books you've listed, but I've heard of most of them.
Currently I'm reading the Discworld bunch by Terry Pratchett - very silly, but some of the best satires and parodies I've read; not just for the sarcasm. I love his characters. :) Since I sort of stopped reading a lot when I hit high school, not having the time, my fantasy read includes people like Tamora Pierce, Mercedes Lackey, more for younger people. All right, I am a younger people. Person. But still. Well...I think Mercedes Lackey is for younger people. My friends get annoyed because I always make fun of her books and they like them. ^_^ They're entertaining, but I don't really like her writing much.
All I've read by Tolkien was "The Hobbit," which, admittedly, I didn't like much, but I'm quite willing to give him the benefit of the doubt after the glorious wonderful movie. Plus the poor guy went to the trouble of even making up languages - gotta respect that. I could never do it convincingly. Tolkien can write, but his writing is from a different style than what's popular today. I've noticed that I tend to dislike many older stories because they have different writing styles - more elevated language and less clear images, at least for me. I usually only use big words when I'm being facetious. :)
And notice how I ramble on when the subject turns to fantasy. I complain a lot about the genre, but deep down inside I guess I love it. Which should be obvious to me, considering that's pretty much all I read nowadays.
