          <body><![CDATA[<em>Kat wrote: &quot;What's with all the Goodkind all of a sudden?&quot;</em><br/><br/>But I'm seeing reviews that the writing can be pretty poor, in some reader's opinions, so I'm almost wondering if I should just stick to the TV series, which I am quite happy with. (Except I want more, is all.) :)<br/><br/>I read tonight that George R.R. Martin is similar in ways to Jacqueline Carey, so I'm thinking maybe I should read that. Someone lent it to me years ago and I never read it, as I had these notions of it not being my kind of fantasy series, maybe just because he was a male author or something, I don't remember.]]></body>
