What if Anele is the Creator, playing the part off so that everybody discounts him? What if the Creator is hiding "inside" him , to camoflage himself so that his nemesis Lord Foul dosen,t know it, and is biding his time awaiting events to unfold? I mean just because he is the Creator, may...

Ok.I have now read Runes and FatRev over ten times each.And listened to the audio boks four times each.

Two things have changed for me.


One: I now love BOTH books totally.

Two: Linden is now not just ok in my books,but I like her !

So,I am hereby tossing my THOOLAH membership aside.

I always envisioned the Ritual as something not unlike a nuclear explosion (minus the radiation) -- just a complete unleashing of the most destructive capabilities of nature in a single violent instant. But that's just me. :) I always thought of it as the transition you'd see between a fertile sun ...

So you think if he had been succesful in sending Linden back to Haven Farm,he would have broken this law by dong so !? I dont understand... But ok.

The Elohim as a people are fickle; some of them rise above that and display knowledge that is more far-sighted (e.g. the Guardian of the One Tree). Perhaps the Man in the Ochre Robe is one of the wiser ones. Are you saying the Gaurdian of TOT was Elohim ? I thought the first gaurdian was an Inseque...

Re: Linden and Ceer

Brinn states that he wants to punish Linden by forcing her to state the Sandgorgon's name, effectively wishing her dead. I found that to be one of the most darkly amusing parts of the entire chronicles, I actually laughed out loud, the extremity of the Haruchai at it's finest .. What shocked me far...

First of all, I'm FF, not MM. :mrgreen: And yes, I criticize her. The things I mention are annoying, and I want to smack her for them. But if she was a character in a Covenant book, that's all it would be. That's the way it was in the 2nd Chrons. I wanted to smack her. Really not a big deal. She wa...

Re: Shackles

Sorry if this has been posted before, but who do you think they're REALLY for? I think RC stated at one point that they were for him, but at the time we thought he was TC. I think we can rule out LF, as the idea of binding him with anything other than white gold doesn't sound right. We can also rul...

Hey, Jay...maybe this would assist you in "reading" Fatal Revenant a whole lot quicker? Ya know: it's easier to listen than read (at least that's the theory). :biggrin: Thats one thing I was just thinking about,the reading speed.Scott reads at a more moderate pace then some of the many ot...

There was mention in the book about Joan slipping her bonds on Haven Farm,and Longwraths ability to do the same. I wonder how many other

And, I'm sorry, all I could picture when they were running away from Linden was from Monty Python and the Holy Grail: "Run away! Run away!" I need to reread it. thinking that probably minimized what Linden was doing.Was she really taking the falling stone and reworking it to support the c...

I was fooled, too. Because of the "We're in two places at once" line, I duped myself into thinking that TC's personality was broken up into two places as well. :oops: I wasnt,at least not all the way through,my wife says she was fooled by him.I knew it,when they first left to to go to the...

I am refining my feelings of the Final Chronicles. I think I understand better and better as time goes on what it is that they lack.
