'Not reading it' is not an option I'd consider. Unless he loops it like the other Stephen did in the Dark Tower Series.

I'd like to read it, but I suggest the creation of another thread for those who do get it to avoid spoilers.

Before anything comes out, I want to make this wild prediction: The Worm=The Creator. Bam. Edited to add, in a semi-jocular fashion: Lord Foul=The Arch. Mindf* I have to question the logic of your prediction. The Worm is the destroyer of worlds - he does not create, and would make no sense making h...

LOL - really? I liked the Power that Preserves best. Although, the parts with Morahm fighting the Raver may have been the best chapters in the entire series.

I would guess Summer, 2013.

NEXT Summer?? Oh boy - guess I'll re-read the First Chronicles....except the Illearth War. The fate of Elena hurts too much to re-visit.

Can anyone estimate how long before we get a chapter preview?

You're analysis is fascinating. It brought me back to the moments I first ready Lord Foul's Bane. It is an amazing story. Does anyone know why the Wild Magic poem is not used as an epigraph in every book? It brings you back to the heart of the story, just as the Lord of the Ring's poem does for that...

Also, Linden is still whiny! ;) :lol: In one scene, where Covenant 'brings her back' from a - lets say - mental breakdown caused by the escape from She-who-must-not-be-named, she is thrown for a loop by the fact that Covenant will not embrace her! She thinks and internally whines about it incessant...

Hmmmm .... lots of discussions about Diassomer Mininderain - I had thought she was Kastenessens squeeze - but perhaps she is the real name of She Who Must Not Be Named. What do you all think? I haven't re-read the Arc but that's what I remember... I think the Worm will be stopped by a combination o...

You're pretty close. A-Jeroth is the Insequent's name for Lord Foul. According to AATE, there is an element of truth in all the Land's creation stories.

Congrats! Your going to enjoy it.

[mod edit - remember, no spoilers in this thread!!!!!!] AATE was pretty good. Things really take off - some questions are finally answered and we lose some people, but the action and the writing is some of the best since White Gold Wielder. I would prefer some thing would've come out different but i...

Her fate is worse than death. If you needed to include this plot, why not throw Kevin Landwaster in? - and why didn't she teleport back to where ever it is the dead go when they disappear? It's the one point I really disliked about the story.. .I really liked Elena way back when I first read the Ill...

That was totally unexpected - I hadn't even realized the thing had a consciousness. Maybe we can say the fact that the Worm was coming its way first - from the Sunbirth Sea - spooked it. The cliff hanger at the end kind of makes that point. But how about Elena? I've had my difficulties with that one.

I finished the story. I think it may have some of Stephan's best writing - especially when telling the story from Covenant's point of view. The action scenes are awesome and so much is revealed. It's really satisfying to see so many questions answered. Unfortunately, we still won't know if the earth...

I feel he's a jerk. I felt much more for Elena - who believed that old fool could redeem the earth. I think Mhoram is the all-time favorite High Lord.

Thank you, Creator. I happen to think I got it ridiculously cheap @ less than 100. I like the pace of it so far - it may be my favorite if it continues this way. Kudos to Stephen for creating this Universe and sharing it with us. I will definitely buy both the hard cover and Kindle versions in Octob...

I believe the Elohim's lover is one of the women absorbed in she-who-must-not-be-named. But the text, IIRC seems to state that Lord Foul is the first betrayer. Can this have anything to do with the Clave creation story? In answer to my own question, yes the Clave creation story is definitely in the...

Chapter 2 is from Linden's perspective - it's very good - no whining. She seems stronger now after all the confrontations that led up to the resurrection.

I have it but haven't read it yet. When I start, I'll be unable to put it down. Corruption comes with a price.
