Runes spoiler: Linden's trip through a caesure to secure the Staff of Law kind of proves that good CAN be accomplished through evil means, so I ask: Would it be evil to possess bush and make him throw himself off the grand canyon? And then make Cheney turn his own shotgun on himself? Or is that goin...

Can you imagine how horrible everything would look? How disgusting and unhealthy most of us are? How polluted the land and bodies of water are becoming? The air? All the pollution spewing forth from our cars and other modes of transportation? Thinking about it, I wonder if Linden would have prefered...

Who knows, maybe Alzheimers will make his writing even better?

And I think Donaldson said they weren't going to leave the Land this time (Linden and Covenant that is).

So with Foul and TC so intimatley entwinned, do you think we're heading for a Highlander, "There can be only one!" sort of showdown, with the winner holding sway over all life in the Land for eternity? Personally, I thought TC had already accepted the fact that he and Foul were one. I mean...

Wow, so in FR we got back a Covenant that was actually Roger--and in the next one we're getting a Covenant that's actually Foul? But you didn't answer my question, is Foul now corporeal? Or do you believe he's just sort of persona that Covenant will periodically exhibit (like possessing Anele)? If i...

When I say he should know everything, I was more referring to his roll as Time, or the Arch. So he should know past, present, future. Unlike Hollian, who was--in the end--just a mere mortal. Covenant became much more when he died. The Final Cs are heavilly based on people not knowing things. True, b...

I've been rereading the entire series, and I just got passed Covenant's destruction of the Clave's Banefire, and Covenant's transformation into the 'alloy' of white gold and venom. After, while he and Linden are discussing what happened, TC tells us basically that now he IS the Arch of Time and he I...

I don't think it ever stated, but I always imagined them inside the Mountain as well.

I don't know, I have trouble picturing Foul anywhere above ground--he seems like the type to hide out in the darkness underground.

And did #2 ever become useful?

The New Lords were able to create Trothgard and Revelwood thanks to the 2nd ward, but that was about it.

Song of Fire and Ice series by George R. R. Martin The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan (RIP) is always good. And I was just going to suggest David Farland's Runelord series, and say that the series is finished, but lo! Two more books have come out in the series I didn't know about! To Barnes and Nobl...

A rose by any other name.... This series has been chock full of magic sense the very beginning. Health sense. Hurtloam. Stone and Wood Lore. White Wild Magic Gold. ur-Vile lore. Kevin's Lore. Drool with the Staff of Law. The Illearth Stone. The Forestalls, the Collosus. The Earthblood. The Ranyhyn a...

I disagree--he was reborn with his halfhand, and Linden thinks something along the lines of "even his halfhand was such a part of him that he retained it." That's an awful quote but I'm at work and don't have th book handy. Handy lol. But yeah, if his halfhand is such a part of him that he...

Come on, you can't tell me you've never wanted to Cosplay a Cavewight or an ur-Vile.

Then he needs to find a caesure and jump forward 6 years, so he can get the last two books, bring them back, and distribute them to us here on The Watch.

To counter, where on Earth are you going to find any place that could even hold a candle to the beauty of Andelain? The majesty of Revelstone? Lifeswallower wouldn't be hard, you'd just need a swamp--and what about the dread Ridjeck Thome (ugh, I can't remember how it's spelled--Thom?). And as far a...

The Ranyhyn rearing to TC at Manhome.
Elena vs. Kevin under Melenkurion Skyweir
Korik, Sill, and Doar vs. Corruption
The Fertile Sun
Coerci caamora
The fight against the Clave in Revelstone
Mount Thunder, and the catacombs underneath

Agree? Thinking about it, with so many fantastic and beautiful visuals, wouldn't it make more sense to be an animated film rather than live action? Obviously, LOTR has shown us that it can be done, but they KNEW it would make a ton of money, what with it being the father of all modern fantasy. But t...

If I had known (or bothered to search) for this place I would've been posting here since the early 90s when I first read the books. But, after finishing FR I felt so empty (thanks to having to wait 3 years for the next book), and I had no one to talk to about the book--so I went to the SRD webpage a...

I was more worried about the Arch. If she wasn't supposed to have been there, healing all those people that probably should've died would have serious reprecussion on Time. But, as time travel is always quite ambiguous, Linden and the Theomach were probably supposed to be there and heal those people...
