Another series I did in one long weekend, this was probably one of the most influential series I read during high school. For some reason I absolutely hated the main character Thomas Conevenant (probably because he was an ass) and my one driving passion was to keep reading until he was killed off. Until of course the last book in the second series where I got over it and decided he should live and then he was killed off.

This series is a good example of me reading books just because I hate not finishing or I hate not knowing the ending of a series. The only problem with these is that he keeps writing them. The main reason that I do not like this series is that I do not like the main, main character Thomas Covenant. I think not liking the main character is a little bit of a problem. Don't you think?

I read this as a teenager, and found it to be a real page-turner - it's about a character afflicted by leprosy, who moves between two different dimensions, each one with its own rules of time and space. For some reason I identified with the themes as a teenager. I can't imagine why.

See review for Book 1 in 2nd chronicles.
Note of interest - cover artwork published outside the US for the ship in the story (by Peter Goodfellow) bore striking resemblance to the LP album cover for Sail On Sailor: Mustard Seed Faith. Great book, fascinating plot and characters.

Stephen Donaldson rapidly grows in my estimation. Not only does each new book introduce me to new vocabulary (about which I am unashamedly nuts), the characterization is superb and the writing is great.

Thomas Covenant and Linden Avery find that the answer to healing the Land is far away, where the Elohim live, the ancient people who never die, and live as animals or trees or other forms of nature.

Donaldson's unique talent for delivering fantasy in a way that's literary, quiet, and yet still very absorbing has always been a mystery to me.

This is starting to get painful. Why do I do this to myself? 6 months. 6 bloody months to finish!

At this point I was so sick of the writing but wanted to know what happened next.
