Wow...I can't be bothered to read all these posts...
Except to say that...these forums pretty much confirm what I have always believed as a college-level rhetoric instructor: electronic communication legitimizes the opinions of people who have no experience or professional acumen to base their opinions on.

Hmmm...
I'm coming late to this topic, but as usual, I will throwdown by challenging anyone to prove that Linden "whines" more than Thomas Covenant does in the original trilogy. No, really. Go back and reread the original trilogy. Read it. I have actually always read this as Donaldson's commentary...

I am a little disturbed...
...by some of the comments that refer to the necessity of readers' "expectations" being fulfilled. These are, of course, entirely subjective, as MY expectations may differ from someone else's, and NO author is under ANY obligation to satisfy anyone's expectations but his or her own. Period...

Of course we are all driven to speculate here - but I am trying to reserve judgment on the Elena issue FOR ANOTHER THREE YEARS!!! (Damn you, SRD...) My guess is, the Bane will somehow be Elena's redemption, and the Land's Dead, since they can now interact, are in a sense fighting their own war again...

I don't have my copy in front of me right now, but almost immediately after J frees himself and traps the Elohim, in the following chapter during Covenant's discussion with Clyme and Branl, there is a line about how power is only useful when it is constrained by boundaries - and he actually says som...

Well, being new to this forum, I can see that there is already a division between the Linden lovers and the Linden haters. I'm somewhere in between - the stance of a true coward.

Woohoo!
I actually got mine by winning an online contest - thought I'd be getting a crappy paperbound <Advance Reader's Not for Resale> copy...they sent me the hardbound! Gloat gloat gloat gloat... And that being said...yeah, I actually do intend to buy a copy - so as not to deprive SRD of the sales. That's...
