My primary impression with TGGW is that SRD's writing is maturing and becoming more sophisticated, if that can be imagined. Like lurch, I feel like he's cutting through the density by doing more with less. Or something. The style of writing in this series, though fantasy, is not like any of his othe...

I lost sympathy for Roger long ago, when he murdered Sara Clint to get what he wanted. But this passage leaves me feeling even colder towards him, because it's all about Roger to him, it's never his fault, and not once does he reflect how cruelly he was using Jeremiah with the croyel . Some might a...

TLD Epilogue: "The soul in which the flower grows"
In the Beginning The epilogue seems to be part love letter to the fans, part tidy bow for some story arcs, part bow to the audience, part rainbow message to the re-creation of the Land. The title provides SRD’s answer to Wildwood’s question about truth and beauty passing utterly. It’s pretty wild t...

I agree. The very character of the Ardent reflected this adherence to the concept of novelty. For him it was that which is singular and unique, and that's another way of saying novel or new. I mentioned this in another thread, but the new Giants we get, specifically their names (since we have such a...

What you point to here is very subtle. I totally see what you mean, but the language play is slight yet noticeable. As for what to call such a thing, that is a great wondering... I may not be an English major, but I'm sure an English teacher (well, currently), and I love to fiddle with words...so le...

In the Second Chronicles was written: Unearned knowledge is perilous. Only by the seeking and gaining of it may its uses be understood, its true worth measured. Unearned knowledge rules its wielder, to the cost of both. This is the Pitchwife quote you were referring to, I believe. Cord Hurn wrote: ...

What Lord Foul wanted from him, he told himself secretly, was not something that could be compelled. Like wild magic, his talent could not be coerced beyond the small uses that the croyel had made of it. No matter how much he was whetted, he would not be able to exceed anything unless he agreed to ...

Cord Hurn wrote: That's why I think we don't read her true name, because it doesn't translate. Yet Esmer in AATE acted like he know Her name, and I'm thinking he got it from Emereau Vrai, who got it from Kastenessen. Makes sense to me. But how would Esmer have gotten it from Vrai if she's been trap...

TLD Part II Chapter 11: Of My Deeper Purpose
The last we saw of Jeremiah was in ‘Parting Company’ when Covenant made the request for him to keep Foul busy while TC figured out what to do. In response, Jeremiah glared blackness. His breath came in ragged chunks, as if the labor of his heart did not leave room for his lungs. He swallowed as if h...
