they just sort of forget about the keeper, he suddenly stops being mentioned in favour of the emperor
it's quite late in the series it happens, and as i said that the first four were great fun, real good just nasty enough to keep it interesting fantasy with dragons and wizards and the sister's of the light are all evil but then he starts collecting people for the war against jagang and that's when it all turns rubbish, there is a rigged election which takes up one book (seriously the whole book) and then the next one sees Richard caught up in a communist regime, and so it comes across quite blatantly going (and very kackhandedly too) democracy is baaaaaddd, but communism is worse!
one of the reasons it annoyed me is I've seen the same arguments made in the dune series and so much better.... and I had really liked the first four, I devoured the first three over a week, waited a month for the fourth to come out and then got 5 and 6 as they came out in hardback, 7 i got in paperback in an airport and 8 someone gave me
I didn't read past 6, I read eragon on the plane instead and 8 sits there taunting me but I think there's like 11 now
but the first four are really fun darken rahl is a much nastier character in the book, he's a child molester for one, and there is a bit where he contacts the keeper through feeding a child liquid lead and stuff like that the mord sith are also much nastier in the books, but there is this wonderful sort of pity for them, you know what it takes to make a mord sith and you almost respect it, but things like how darken rahl only took the lesbians to his bed because they hated it most
i will rec the first 4 books though, they are great fun
