Hello 17th Shard, I have been reading these forums for a couple months now and just decided I'm going to start adding into these conversations!
I actually tried to go back to Goodkind after several years of being done with his work and it was sadly disappointing. Sword of truth was the series that peaked my interest in "epic" fantasy originally and I loved it, however, while I was going through the first book recently, I had to put it down and just say wowwwwwwww. Let's read WoR again instead... I find everything else feels so flat or 2 dimensional in comparison to Sanderson or Roth, I mean watching for easter eggs is probably half the fun for me while rereading Sanderson's work.
