Given the violence and S&M undertones in parts of Sword of Truth series, hard to believe it is a Disney production. Will be interested to see how it translates.
The series is a good read - the political overtones you sense are
Objectivism and it is ideologies that Ayn Rand professes. The series was good enought that I read it all, but I don't think I will be rereading the entire series any time soon.
