Bravo!

I'm disappointed we had to see the Worm at all. It was one of those mysteries that should have been left as a mystery. (Did the Creator create the world, or was it created by the Worm? Or was there even really a Worm at all?) Regarding the original post, I just finished TLD, but isn't it the case th...

I wrote this back in 2007 and pretty much still sums up my take on the series. Very disappointing:

[quote="Seppi2112"]People can be tools of FOUL'S... the issue is that if the creator makes someone a tool then any action they take = an action by the creator = destruction of the arch.[/quote] I don't think this is the case. It violates the "necessity of freedom" and the dictum ...

[quote="Lordsfire"]I know this has been addressed (at length, if I recall) in the other forums, but was anyone else just a little let down when they read that scene? I mean, the Theomach not only revealed the Words in their entirety, but he also (vaguely) explained their meanings. Does any...

Wasn't the First Chronicles originally published in hardcover by a publisher like Knopf? I had thought that Del Rey had only picked up the paperback rights, though of course they could have been in on it from the beginning.

Hi - I'm actually on lunch break so can't write too much. But I will say that I don't mean to slam the Final Chronicles. Rather, I just don't think they measure up to the first two series, which, as I said, I rate as the best fantasy I've read. A middling effort from SRD is still better than most fa...

Having a new race in an of itself is not a problem IMO. Indeed, think about how diverse our own world is. There are reasons not to like the Insequent, but the fact that they are new isn't one of them in my view. I wish we'd seen more new things, not less.

Thank you - I should note that I'm actually a big fan of the Second Chronicles myself. In some respects it is superior to the first, though I still rate the first higher. It is a huge drop off from the second to the last. It is incredibly difficult to do a good sequel, but SRD pulled it off with the...

This is a draft of a review I've been working on after reading Fatal Revenant. Why I'm Disappointed in the Last Chronicles WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS While reading this, please keep in mind that I'm actually a huge fan of the first two Chronicles. In fact, I consider the first Chronicles the best fa...

Easy way to fix Lord Foul: 1. Send him back in time through a caesure 2. Do something to fix it so there are no more caesures Twill be interesting to see what develops. The problem with Last Chronicles is that, quite honestly, I don't even want to see the Land saved anymore. The biggest thing that d...

Yes, Wotan's power came from the bargains he made with other people, bargains which he carved into a staff from the World Tree which literally wrote them into the natural law of the world. If he broke his word, the staff would shatter and his power would be finished. What I don't understand is why h...

Whitegold even sounds like Rheingold
