>>there was already a cure for leprosy. DO YOUR RESEARCH IDIOT!

Wow, that's a lot of anger. According to the World Health Organization there wasn't an accepted cure for leprosy until 1981. The first book was published in 1977. The drugs probably did exist but it's akin to you claiming that AIDS is cured because one of the experimental drugs in use right now might be widely used as a cure someday. Regardless one thing I know for certain is that nerve damage has no cure. In the chronicle Covenant is facing nerve damage resulting from untreated leprosy, impotence, and the stigma of being a leper.
I liked it. If its not your cup of tea that's fine, but seriously, do your research.
