I had a number of problems with this series. So little has actually happened in three hefty books. The Giants are indistinguishable and seem to share one half-drawn personality, as do the Haruchai. Roger is a cartoonish villain with no real motivation. A powerful race we've never heard of before is ...

From my vantage point, Marthiir backed off his assessment of the situation once he realized that Elena had made her choices herself. He was all about blaming TC but then realized he was mistaken... Yes, you're right - going back, Marthiir's accusations were wrong or at least only indirectly right. ...

4) I think she *knows* that the moment Linden doesn't forgive her, she's going to be fed to the Bane. I think she volunteered and went willingly, and was not ordered. I can't buy that part.. It was Caer Caveral who broke the law that allowed the dead to be raised, Elena broke the Law where the dead...

I'm not sure where I saw this idea, but it was my impression that the Dead that show up at the end of Fatal Revenant are Linden's Dead, not Covenant's Dead. As such, Elena appears to Linden the way that Linden imagines her. But Elena isn't one of Linden's Dead, is she? The only time Linden ever saw...

Question about Elena

Did I miss something in the Last Chronicles that would explain Elena's current state of mind? She seemed OK as one of the Dead appearing before Covenant in the Second Chronicles - she was aware that Covenant had avenged her by reducing Lord Foul to near-nothingness. At the end of the SC, not only do...

You asked SRD on the GI about Haruchai women, correct? That wasn't me - but I'm glad someone raised the topic with him. Did he indicate that he'll maybe discuss the Haruchai homeland and life there? OK, you got me. I am completely bumfuzzled by the sheer perseverance of this recurring question. Why...

Oh - didn't you get the memo? after the series is written there'll be a couple of chapters that were...

In the preview chapter, Covenant briefly reviews Foul's history - not only in the Land, but across the entire Earth. It's fascinating stuff and I'd like to see a lot more on it - there's material for lots of other books there, I think. More about the Ravers would be great too - we know that turiya ...

In fairness to Linden this her first resurrection I'm sure she'll get better with practice :) Seriously though, TC wasn't remotely human anymore. He was a being that transcended time and now he's been forced back into a vessel too small for what he was. It's going to take time for him to shed what ...
