    <body><![CDATA[Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever is back for another trilogy. Donaldson writes a good story, which manages to hold one's interest, perhaps because of the mcguffin of different suns, so that for the first half of the book one wonders what is going to happen next.

Fine, it seemingly started as another Tolkien rip-off with magic rings, faux-Mordor (Mount Thunder... bleh), vargs, a wannabe-Sauron with his hordes of ugly monsters and other tosh, but it soon took its own path. And it didn't turn out bad. I'm too bus...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44834178">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't read the first series but jumped into this one.  It is a haunting book that succeeds on several levels.  The reader isn't quite sure where all of the story is taking place, in his mind after the accident, in another world or in the world he inhabits.  It is not especially easy to read, but ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42245133">more...</a>]]></body>
