put "spoiler" in your topic line!!

Just 77 pages into the book, I'm likeing this one already! you can't judge one book from another its the series as a whole which must be judged..

I read the first chapter, Like i said over there waiting the next 8 months is killin me. I'm currently re-reading the entire series agian, cause theres things referenced in the final chronicals i don't remember.

"remember, I'm dead"

Linden is dead in the real world. TC is dieng is what my take is on that first chapter. Linden didn't bring him back right!

How Do i view it? It doesn't seem like anyone is talking about it here. Waiting for the next book is killing me!!

Even though I am enjoying reading this final series, I almost wish I hadn't found out about it till they were all written, its killing me to wait another 16 months before the release of the next book.I guess it will give me time to reread the entire series, for the 6th time!!!

I think I read that, he also stated that ROTE and FR were around 1100 pages, the final books were around 600 pages, thats a lot of editing, I mean amost half of what the "rough" draft was. Hmmm...

What we know from the closing of FR is this, Lindens dead coud not talk to her, council or give her answers about what to do. TC's first words to Linden were " what have you done?" I take that to mean that linden just botched everything up in a bigger way than we know with the given inform...

I kind of feel robbed of 600 pages per book!!! What did he yank? Could there have been pertinent info? Can i get a copy of the original un revised books?

ok well looks like you did some research on the subject of the staff. How bout this. We don't have enough info on the first staff or when it was truly made. Could it be possible that somehow the blackness of Lindens Staff is changed (for reasons we have yet to read), SRD keeps talking about her hear...

Ok is it possible that the Masters asked them to do it?

When is Anele's impact on the story line going to start, he's just been floating around. Hasn't really had much to do with anything other than trying to find the staff of law. Hiding in his madness cause he can't handle reality.

Well, earlier Roger was talking about trapping foul in a bubble of time, couldn't the staff be used in some way to make that happen? So Foul essentially gets stuck from say Bereks time to when ever the loop is created, keeping him from causeing more trouble? Also one other thing that crossed my mind...

With so much of the story yet to be revealed, all this speculation is pretty fun to throw out there. Don't the heels act as some sort of stricture on the staff, SRD keeps mentioning them throught the whole series. So therefore they could be "mobius" items. There also has been reference to ...

I'm not suggesting voice over for the entire movie, but there would be certain spots where it would work. How else are you gonna get the point across, where in the books its a story being told explaining how TC is feeling/reacting in his head about certain events, sorry man but the average movie goe...

I think theres a lot of directions this series can still take. I don't know if I can wait 17 months for the next book....

Well who's to say, being as the last 2 books in the epic saga have yet to be written, that the "new" staff, isn't truly the "old" staff? We've already seen that time travel is possible in this series. So how do we know LA doesn't get pushed back to Bereks time once again, and th...

I agree with some of the things in your list. I think the "it has a ring" excuse is lame to put it nicely. The story doesn't revolve around the ring like in LOTR. It is a major part, but not the main thing. I agree the undertaking of the saga would be huge, just from a filming standpoint. ...

Thanks!!! There are some interesting posts here.
