Man, I must be really transparent... *snigger*

My former coworker (he was in IT here until the end of last year) who joined us at the LotR showing/concert Saturday has read the "Sword of Truth" books that Legend of the Seeker is based on, and is watching the series, so we've been sending a few mails back and forth this morning on that subject. From his reply to my question if the Mord Sith appear in the books (rough translation, sorry):

The Mord Sith have a rather important role in the second part of the first book. Richard is their prisoner for quite a while. There's lots of torture and sex. ;-)

ROTFL!!! I didn't say anything about particularly enjoying those scenes in my e-mails! So what gave me away - was it the fact that Darken Rahl is my favourite character? Or was it something shirasade and I said on Saturday? *snigger*

How graphic is the torture?

Well in the series it's not terribly graphic - the show is overall PG-13 I'd say, and for that it's strong enough IMHO, particularly with the S&M overtones. From what my colleague said the torture scenes are a lot more graphic and much longer in the book. I should be able to tell you more in a few weeks - the book is on its way to me. :)
