Regarding Kasty, wouldn't it be great if we could find something he wanted more than the annihilation of the elohim? Something that was more important to him than his rage and his pain? Too bad there's no way to track down the woman who started all of this and got him Duranced in the first place. . .

My thoughts: I'm having trouble comprehending the use of "simony" as it relates Brinn's retribution of the Masters. Perhaps it's a set-up for the Haruchai finally coming to their senses, emptying out their storehouse of all those relics/objects of power, arming every Stonedowner/Woodhelve...

Okay, so that's (an utterly amazing) Chapter 3. Why Chapter 3, though? What's going on in Chapters 1 and 2 that we aren't supposed to see yet? I've thought for awhile that the beginning of TLD will have a flashback in which the Creator visits Jeremiah, probably to make sure he has the race car in ha...

Then he started talking about how he hates Creator questions, because he doesn't think of "the Creator" as a person who would NEED a mate. He talked about if there is a being that creates, then it makes sense that there must be an opposite being that is despair. (I thought it interesting ...

It means they're dead in their own worlds. I seem to recall it said so somewhere. ANd I seem to remember Hile Troy never went back when his summoner died - for the same reason. Ah that would explain it. Thank you. Although I didn't think Jeremy got shot. I know she examined him while he was possess...

Anele would have been prevented by his madness and general fear of calling attention to himself. However, if his inherent Earthpower is what allowed it, than Jeremiah would also have that ability... good catch. And let's go one further: do we think Jeremiah's facility for the lost art of marrowmeld...

She was not free of her weaknesses. But she understood them. She could face them. She was not ruled by them. SRD truly did do a masterful job of turning her from pathetic into a hero. Now, when the Final Chrons comes along, Foul will have to go after her in different ways. No, Foul can't go after h...

rdhopeca, Those were all special cases, though: Kevin had been yanked out of his grave by the Power of Command (and was presumably dismissed after killing Elena), while Elena was being actively maintained by the Illearth Stone. I assume you mean all the dead Giants at Coercri, rather than Foul's Cre...

Can anyone explain how the heck Sunder, Holian, and Elena were able to manifest not only outside Andelain, but right next to the source of the Earthpower-suppressing Kevin's Dirt?

Does the Krill, when charged up, function as a sort of holographic projector, or is there something else going on here?

Why was AATE agony, you ask? Because half there seemed to be no point, and the other half there were so many points it was too much. ROTE had a story . Linden arrives in the Land, she has to figure out what's going on, then she has to find the Staff of Law, then she has to escape the past and get b...

She's been turned into a walking Gallows Howe. But this is the way of these books - she can't be turned into a tool of the Earth's destruction without also being turned into a tool of redemption. When he recruited Hile Troy, Caerroil Wildwood said that together they would restore life to Gallows Ho...

One comment: I would have preferred he choose a side and die. In essence, he did: his decision to bring not only the ur-viles/Wanyhim but also their manacles ensured Linden's victory, as he knew he was rendering himself impotent. And two more words: Race car. Given what it allows in AATE, and given...

Regarding Longwrath: Let's keep a few things in mind. First, the elohim don't like to leave their home; given the chance, they prefer to deal with problems through proxies, when they bother to deal with them at all. Second, right now the Land is a pretty dangerous place for the elohim. Never mind th...

We're finally able to believe that the faith of her friends might have been misplaced. We still want to root for her, and still want to believe that something hopeful will come of her actions (as Liand does), but it's suddenly possible to think that we're wrong. Maybe we're all misled by our previo...

Despite(!) Infelice to the contrary, I still think the Despiser's deepest ambition might be to invade other worlds, too... Actually, I believe we get a clue to this at the end of TPtP: In Ridjeck Thome, we learn that (I think I have this right) "Lord Foul loathed life, not because it was any t...

All through the Chonicles (1st, 2nd, and last), the necessity of freedom has been a really big deal. No coercion for the good guys; even Foul has to trick/mislead/deceive people into destroying themselves, rather than just forcing them. But how do we reconcile this with Jeremiah? What about his free...

My question is: if a construct captures elohim will it also bind Kastenessen. If not, at what point does an Elohim derived being become free of this constructs ability. Presumably when he/she is no longer an elohim. I don't think there's enough left of Findail for him to be removed from the Staff a...

Ur-viles and Waynhim for the good guys.

The Dead for the good guys.

*choke* Horrim Carabal for the good guys.

The Ardent's horse for the good guys, since I assume Covenant will need a ride.

Roger, by the way, is a tool, and needs to die die die. I actually feel kind of sorry for him, as it looks like he was never given that much of a choice in how his life turned out. The things Covenant said about Jeremiah and whether he was Foul's from the beginning could apply to Roger too. In whic...

Regarding time travel: Why are we necessarily done? Linden can create caesures. Regarding rightful wielders: Linden isn't a rightful wielder because she isn't the white gold. She's not a Creator. Covenant is ; he writes books, he tells the stories which shape worlds. Jeremiah is a Creator too; he's ...
