Talk:Confessor (novel)

message: So, when I was making this page, I thought it would be worthwhile to reference how Terry selected art from work Keith had done before he died. It's apparent that it happened, but I saw this quote posted by a member of the swordoftruth livejournal community, and thought it was great, only they didn't source it properly. I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere else, so maybe someone could help me find a proper sourcing for it?

thread_title: Keith Parkinson reference

message: I tend to agree that this might not be the last book he'll write...like many of his books, Goodkind ended this one with a few teaser lines that don't start new conflicts in and of themselves, but allow openings for future conflicts/stories. The first few books that didn't involve the Order were fairly independent story arcs...until you read the next book and find out that really it's not. Each of these segues was done with a little comment or two by someone who knows more than we do (ie. Zedd, Ann, Nathan, etc.). The same thing is very evident in Confessor...

thread_title:  Probably not the last book.... 

message: I wonder if this article should be renamed (moved) to "Confessor (Sword of Truth)," as with Phantom, for purpose of consistency. Dansiman (talk) 15:00, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, no need. See Wikipedia:Naming#Books_-_literary_works or Wikipedia:Naming conventions (books), consistency with this is to be found by following these guidelines not by adding "disambig" phrases where unneeded. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 15:08, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Then should Phantom be moved to "Phantom (novel)"? Dansiman (talk) 23:14, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps - but there is no real reason to keep changing things - however Phantom (novel) would be more in keeping with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (books). but as you will notice the "space" is taken by another title by another author! Perhaps Phantom (2006 novel) which is the next preferred form. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:44, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Odd... when I checked it yesterday it said article not found. Dansiman 21:55, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article Title 

message: That whole section is horrific, full of speculation, misinformation and needless wording. It needs a serious paring down and editing for factual content...Mystar (talk) 19:44, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Plot Summary

message: If the whole thing with the book of counted shadows was a failsafe, is Book 2 - Stone of Tears only a "false fear".
Only the true key can open the boxes in the right way (pushing the sword into the box)
So Darken Rahl opened a box with the false way, not the "right door" if you want. Why was the veil torn? A Failsafe or protection shouldn't be able to destroy everything...
This would be like 3 switches which can destroy the world and a false guide which one should be pushed. The real switch which can enable or disable the weapon is hidden, but all 3 not hidden switches will destroy the world. This would be stupid, so all visible switches shouldn't be able to destroy the world. But if this is so, the second book would be about a false story. 84.57.240.41 (talk) 23:53, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  True key -> sword of truth 

message: There are certainly other interpretations of the Eleventh Rule than the one given in this article, notably that it's the last eleven words of the book, "Your life is your own. Live it as you see fit." Magic9mushroom (talk) 16:42, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The best option would be quoting an explanation of the rule by Goodkind, with a citation. If no such official explanation is available, I think the best alternative would be to cover all the major interpretations, using citations from sources such as book reviews. Also, is the rule actually numbered? If not, I think the section should be titled "The rule unwritten". -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 06:47, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
