Nobody, darnit

I'm reading a book I randomly grabbed at the library* called Enemy Glory by Karen Michalson. There's some cool stuff in there, and some beautiful descriptions that occasionally veer into the ridiculous (oh, god, she loves the word, "darkly.") There's also occasionally a D&D allusion that smacks me between the eyes with a twelve-sided 2x4. (He's an evil cleric! There's an illusionist gnome! They actually have alignments!) I could put up with that until the characters actually sat down and started playing D+D. I'm serious. There's no character sheets (so far) but WTF? We'll see if I can keep going.



*Because it--well, the sequel--had the word "Hecate" in the title. Anything to do with Hecate, Persephone or Lilith, I'll probably read. And if you know enough to do something with Hestia or Kore, I'll squeal with delight.

From this article on SF Scope:

"Later this year, a new series produced by Sam Raimi and based on Wizard's First Rule, Goodkind's first book, will be syndeicated by Disney's ABC Television Domestic Syndication Division."

To which renatus said, "Gee, I wonder how they'll fit in all the rape!"
