SoT Topic: Belle - I think you got more hung up on those scenes than I did. I felt they fit the storyline. I didn't suddenly feel any urge to go run to the other room with a tissue in hand. The things that happened made sense. Leo - Yeah, I know what scene you are talking about without even looking at the spoiler. There's a lot of other things the Sisters of the Dark have to go through. The entire point is to show the violations and abuse the SotD and the Mord Sith have to endure and why they DO endure these things, along with how it affects their personality. In later books, Sister Nicci makes it very clear just how terrified the SotD actually are of the Keeper AND Jagang. There are a lot of things that I find frustrating (recurring themes in general, not what the content itself is of but the fact that there are a lot of recurring situations).
I just find it amazing that Martin can have full blown incest and six year old breast feeding and gay knights and all people can say is "Holy shit, this character is fucked up, A+ at making characters who really show you how fucked up they are!" and Goodkind can do the same and its "This author was obviously fapping the entire time he wrote these books, its obvious he has fetishes for this stuff!"
