In case this gives anyone the false impression that the Sword of Truth series is good, let me advise you: it isn’t. What starts out as a decent premise devolves into the most convoluted argument for Objectivism since Rand herself.

I’d have to confirm that. It started out decent but I tired of the series a few books in.
At least the first book, is written nicely and tells a good traditional story as long as you don’t go any deeper into the meanings of it all, though it gets worse as the series goes on. I find the last book hilarious as the main character defeats the communists by first beating them in a game of American football. All in all, it’s actually decent, if a bit… Grim at times, if you only want a fantasy novel.
It could certainly be better, and a little less transparent, but it has some good, useable quotes.

I didn’t notice the Objectivism, since the S&M and scat play drove me away first. The first book was enjoyable.
