Pls see review for 1st book in 2nd Chronicles. I enjoyed delving into Donaldson's strange and unique imagination. Both the 1st and 2nd chronicles I found myself immersed in a grand, escapist fantasy vista. I would recommend to any interested in good fantasy writing.
Though the crossover was nicely handled, just personally I found Covenant to be a more intriguing character than I did Avery.

Read in February, 2004
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.

I will never read Donaldson again (my husband did not learn this lesson - too bad for him). I call his style of writing mental masturbation. Sure the story is good but I can't see it through the metaphor and adjectives.

I pretty much wanted to see Thomas Covenant strangled, but I couldn't stop reading the darn series

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.

My least favorite of the series... could be I didn't like the way it ended.
