To me, Ive always felt the book works best when viewed in the "is it real or not" and that the whole story was merely an allegory about the disease leprosy, which was why the house fire / Land burning, and disease progressing (2nd chrons) and the whole inner despiser thing worked well. I w...

yeah I'm not going to hold any grudges against SRD, his first 2 chrons and other work are brilliant, and have given me huge amounts of pleasure, so the fact that the last chrons were as you say a bloated mess is not going to ruin that. I did quite enjoy AATE even though that was a bit of a linear se...

Too many threads and characters and "baddies", where are the normal folk in the land, it feels like they traipsed back and forth over it and met no normal people, only a multitude of characters that were not needed or just distracted, by the end we'd had the nice elohim, the crazy elohim, ...

weird. as mine came with loads of extra pages during their interminable and boring slog up through Mount Thunder which went on and on and on like Margaret Effing Thatcher.

I see the last chronicles as a guilty pleasure, wallowing in memories of the great books that came before it. In reality, this final book was The Last Straw, not the last dark, just lots of stuff that I no longer cared about, running from A to B on a whim, nevernding fight scenes, saved at the end e...

Actually if I had to make one criticism of SRDs writing its the over reliance in general of "reader distracting" with these kinds of ideas, you know, where characters seem like they have info but dont say it, or phrase it in prophecies or abstracted comments that seem like they'd make sens...

LOL, looks a bit ... camp, like hes pursing his lips and saying ooooooo while poking his hiney out behind him

not big enough!

I've not been very active here :) But I sense it's coming up to the time for the last book so I popped in. Hmm, I really couldn't put AATE down, maybe it was more TC involvement, or maybe it just felt like they were more doing stuff and not just dithering about what to do or not to do, i also though...

kind of related to this but one of the things I find annoying (I still love the series) is that so much of it includes stuff like vague wishy washy predictions and riddles by characters that seem to be there just to frustrate you as a reader, I mean, it's overdone, there are too many of them IMO. Th...

I'm pretty well known for having a similar opinion of TLC. I reat ROTE and FR, and won't be going on. I read what happened in AATE in the threads here, and am very happy with my decision. then you missed out. The first book in the 3rd set was, frankly a mess, the second not much better. I almost ga...

Surely the whole point of Jeremiahs abililty to create these weird looping infinite structures is for him to hold either the worm or foul in there for all time?

thanks!

Is there a place listing all the editions of the books, and which are currently in print. Im rather fond of my old set, i think they are the fontana paperbacks, and to be honest i would love to buy new copies of those or at least versions with those same cover designs, or maybe its time to get a nic...

I found the first two books disappointing, insufferable Linden, way too many new characters and names to properly track, and too linear chasing round overly elaborating the next thing to solve. Even though AATE is still a bit like go here, then here, then here, then here, it felt a lot closer to the...

holy. shit. what the f....

from the GI: "Against All Things Ending" now exists. I have the whole book on paper for the first time. Sadly, I'm behind schedule. I'll try to make up lost time during the revisions. But the airlines always say the same thing, and we all know how THAT turns out. (sigh) For those who are ...

I always think of the bloodguard a bit more bulky and supernatural, like this kingdomcronos.emuchrist.org/images/movies/The%20Keep/keep2.jpg though I would take the evil red eyes away and make it a bit more human kingdomcronos.emuchrist.org/images/movies/The%20Keep/keep2.jpg <img src="kingdomcr...

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." LOL.. Yeah, sorry, I don't think she is a bad character per se, I...
