Ah, that sucks. The hand thing made me want to read on even more. I mean, aren't you dying to know what happens to him next after that?! Besides, one of my favourite things about Megan Whalen Turner is that she does horrible things to her characters. That's the mark of a great writer. :D
Then again, I know the whole chopping off of the hand thing makes some people squeamish, so it might not even be about the pain of the character, but more about the actual action. Personally, I winced more when he ran head first into that board. Ouch.
