While we're at it, let's get another ring, inscribe "One ring to rule them all and in the darkness bind them" on it, and mail it to Tolkien's estate. Then Christopher can do whatever he wants with it. :D But in all seriousness, it sounds like a really nice idea, but it strikes me as being ...

Didn't I read in another thread that SRD indicated, when asked, that Linden was the most attractive of all his female lead characters?

Which, I think, would have to mean that Linden is exceptionally attractive, since Terisa (in particular) is constantly described as being especially beautiful.

Hi! Welcome! If you are disappointed with "Runes" (but love the overall series and concept) I suggest rereading it before Fatal Revenant assuming its been a while since your first read Runes. You should get more out of it. Much the same can be said with books by Gene Wolfe, they have to be...

Well, this doesn't surprise me. I didn't really expect to see anything from Covenant's point of view, but I had hoped. But when I think about it, this doesn't bother me as much as I had thought it would. While I'd rather be in TC's head, I have to admit that there's one thing I like about being in L...

Are we just talking 70’s and 80’s here? Anthrax – Among the Living, Medusa, etc. Iron Maiden – Aces High, Number of the Beast, Sea of Madness, 2 Minutes to Midnight Bathory – Blood Fire Death Slayer – Angel of Death, Criminally Insane Obituary – Bloodsoaked Black Sabbath – The Wizard, N.I.B. Testame...

And if Linden is willing to awaken the Worm with no way of dealing with it, that may signify obsession, but it certainly does not signify healing. Yikes. You guys can make snap judgements faster than anyone could possibly keep up with it. Do you honestly think Linden knew that her action of ressure...

I have an idea for a movie. Quentin Tarentino does the Chronicles. It shall be called, "Kill Infelice." "Infelice, it's your baby!" And now for the titular line: "When I found out that a croyal was gnawing on the neck of my braindead kid, I went on what the movie advertisem...

The Haruchai: We suffice to be Supreme Masters of the Land, and dominate it's destiny and all those in it. And Linden Avery, we shall wrest your powers from you if we deem it necessary. We can do anything. I really hate what's happened to the Haruchai . It's probably my biggest problem with the Las...

2 minor points: Page 508 - Coldspray refers to "Covenant Giantfriend" when actually she should have said "Covenant Earthfriend." But the First named Covenant both Giantfriend and Earthfriend, surely it doesn't matter which title is used to address him. It does to me! :P The Firs...

let it go Linden you boring cow. :lol: That struck me as so funny, simply because it was unexpected -- the rest of your post was comparatively serious, and then you suddenly threw that comment out there. I actually "LOL'd." To each their own, but FR is some of the best fantasy I have ever...

Remember, she didn't have a clue that the deception was that it wasn't TC. There were so many other choices to choose from. That TC had changed after 3,500 years. That TC had changed because he was dead. That TC had changed because he was the Arch. That TC had changed because he had been battling F...

Never used #5 or #10.

It wasn't on the list, but I used to say, "That is why you fail" (from The Empire Strikes Back) a lot.

Despite everything, the Elohim are pretty useful. I don't think we should be happy if they are all destroyed. The stars are the bright children of the Creator, after all. Well, at the very least, I hope it eats Infelice. Could maybe Linden possess it? As adept at possession as Linden is, I'd be sur...

Voted THOOLAH. No surprise there.

My dad introduced me to the Chronicles when I was 11 (I think... I might have been 12 -- it's been awhile). He had fostered my love for Tolkien, and when he handed me LFB, he warned me that it was "very different" but that it was the best fantasy he'd ever read. When it came to fantasy/sci...
