What an incredible story - not only encompassing the origins of agiels, dacras and the Mord'Sith, but also, I presume, giving us a framing device for your on-going story. I am venturing a guess that Nila will be the next gifted daughter born of the Rahl bloodline. Hopefully, Darken will be a wiser and more loving father than Canton. And Kahlan will certainly be a more effectual mother than poor Scinta. Nicholas is an interesting parallel to Phaedrus with Confessor powers on top of everything else. But will the cycle be broken?
You can weave such a dark engrossing tale, but also include bits of humor which do not detract in any way from the intensity or suspense. I loved the bit where the Keeper decides to call the anti-magic sticks agiels because it just sounds better.
Sadly, it seems as if Scinta, as ineffectual as everybody thought her to be, is maybe the only person who actually loved Lucasta for just being a little girl. Even her grandmother wanted to put her to use - even if it was for a good end.
