You think gemell is bad for being a Pervert goodkind is as bad if not worse if you read dammit cant remember the name but the book before soul of the fire you will see the most hideous mysogynist violence in a book and his prose is awful
Gemell makes the mistake of confusing gritty realism and being painfully graphic too often but some of his books are great check out ECHOS OF THE GREAT SONG which is truly excellent
