The nature of the setting is similar to Jordan's series "The Wheel of Time", but I consider it better written. Goodkind weaves a lot of discussion into his stories on pertenant topics today such as the necessity of fighting to defend our rights and freedoms, the near-paradox of force being required to insure peace by killing those who have sworn to kill us. He also gives stong examples within his stories of the flaws and evils inherent in socialism, relative morality, and the weaknesses of modern liberal thought (as opposed to the classical liberalism).

I just bought the first 4 again though, I'm planning to read 'em all again.

Very challenging. The 1st 100 hundred pages of the 1st book can be tough to get though, but it is worth it.

Not a "Honor Harrington" book but it could be the start of a new series.
