Leaving tomorrow. I am spending my last day in Arizona.

Hey, you are just down the 15 freeway from me! Welcome back. The big question is WHY???

I wish I could get out of here - high taxes, crazy traffic... Ugh!!!

The One Tree. Hands down. The reason: Most of the story is from Linden's POV and she is pretty much useless/traitorous. I kept hoping throughout the story that the First would get tired of her whining and toss her overboard, or Brinn would backhand her with all of his Haruchai strength. Despite many...

Interesting, the whole forum appears to be pretty quiet. Is everyone reading? What happened?

I'm ready to discuss AATE (or any other TC book) at any time! I am currently re-reading the series - back up to TPTP.

For those that have read the book - (I have not yet)

IS AATE:

BETTER THAN/EQUAL TO/WORSE THAN

Fatal Revenant?

That's ALL I want to know!!! No spoilers please!!!!!

I got mine today at my local Borders. And.....it was really depressing. Just a stack of 4 books almost lost amid a table full of other books. And by "other" books I mean "stupid". I remember the glory days of the One Tree when there were big free standing card-board displays hol...

My copy showed up today!!! Pre order from Amazon. Yeahhh!! Only problem: I'm 400 miles from home...

Gibbon na-Mhoram answered Covenant's question about the Wards: Covenant: "Why don't you USE it? [Kevin's Lore]" Gibbon: "It is lore for that which no longer exists. It has no value under the Sunbane." The Wards were for lore that predated the Sunbane and didn't anticipate the bre...

Looks like we're about to read another fuckin' book about Linden, and that pisses me off. shouldn't be surprised about this... SRD has already spoken often about the POV and she AND TC are crucial to the story. They are equal. In love. I find it funny, that after all this time, people can't get ove...

I don't want ANY of these dead damn Lords influencing events [except of course when they meet people and say things like in Andelain now...that's ok...just don't want any dead-Lord "Kingpins." Why not? That would make it interesting. Especially if Loric could get hold of his krill again a...

I think it is important to note that Foul's main power lies in manipulation, otherwise, he is generally very weak (I don't know if we can trust him on this one, but allegedly in LFB, he claimed that even Drool Rockworm would be a problem to him unless he was stopped). That being the case, he probab...

But there are some things I am not Against Ending: (Agree with IQuestor's points entirely!) I add: - Useless Anele. The wandering, doddering, whiny, useless slobbering old man should have been thrown off Kevin's Watch when the chance presented itself. Instead we have to deal with his constant pissin...

At the end of WGW, as Linden Avery was translating out of the Land, she "reached across the leagues and whispered to [Sunder and Hollian]" paraphrasing here, but you get the idea. WHAT DID SHE SAY TO THEM? (obviously not the right thing since they kept the Staff of Law to themselves and di...

but I don't think the ending is going to circle back, I suspect the old world will be gone and a new/better will start. [pure speculation, of course]. I hope not... if the ending turns out like you say, then it will have been a carbon copy of the last "Chronicles of Narnia" - IIRC that is...

Someone should tell him to start on TLD now, while he was these 5-8 weeks of downtime. :lol: I am glad that you are not my boss... :whip: I said "someone", I didn't say me! Besides, doesn't consumer demand drive sales? :twisted: Interesting point. Does anyone know what the consumer demand...

sorry to digress from topic here but i MUST address these comments!! :P if you thought the ending of TDT was a "cop-out" that means (to me) that you didn't see it coming a mile away. if you didn't see it coming, i allege that you didn't pick up on the many many clues throughout the series...

There was never any reference to any "One Stone", the source of orcrest/krill gem in any of the TC books.

The books didn't really say where Loric found the materials to make the


krill either, or where he got the knowledge to do so.

OK, it's time to call a spade a *u**ing shovel. You've put your finger on a gen-you-wine, gosh-all-fishhooks Internal Inconsistency. A gold-plated Authorial Screwup. (I talk about it this way to deflect my chagrin.) But the facts are worse than you've made them out to be. This II (internal inconyou...

Remember, "Unearned knowledge rules its wielder, to the cost of both."

Linden's in a lot of trouble.

Should Linden be forgiven?

NO.

Her whining has descended to new lows. Also, she burned the Staff of Law.

For that she needs to suffer the curse of Kastenessen!!!
