She's his MOTHER. By adoption. So does that mean because it's "by adoption" her love for Jeremiah is less than if it were her biological son? I'd seriously debate that. He's been with her for ten years! Vacant or not, she loves him (at least, that's my take on it). I concur. If Covenant i...

The act of creation will serve as LA's atonement for her mother's death. Remember that LA's soul is centered around death and darkness, her father's by his own hand (which she believes she should have done something to prevent), and her mother's by LA's own hand. Death is LA's personal karma, no ma...

She's his MOTHER.

I think we haven't had time to get to know them very well honestly. The introduction of the Giants in FR is much like the introduction of the Giants in TWL... under dire events at the very end of the novel. And moreover I don't feel the need to "like" them the way other giants are liked. I...

Personally, I think reviving Covenant *was* the right call precisely because it seems wrong. Yes, Lord Foul is probably thrilled, but remember: the kind of manipulation that Foul loves tends ot come back against him. he loves to trick people and make their efforts for good result in evil, so the wa...

When Linden heard Covenant talking to her through Anele (or in her dreams) she recognized him as the man she remembered. He WAS Thomas Covenant. Then again, she was fooled by Roger. Not truly I think. First, her son was there and that totally consumed nearly all of her attention. That was always a ...

Just one fellow's thoughts on the matter, but there seems to be a distinct difference between the use of wild magic by Linden in the second chronicles, and the last chronicles. Remember Covenant had been imbued with venom that removed the usual triggers he was used to having to use. The way I read t...

I'm not sure that Berek made the Staff. The Giants hadn't arrived in the Land untill Damelon's time, so he couldn't have reached the Isle of the One Tree. But I'm probably wrong...my hisstory is russty!!! It's mentioned in the second book that the Bhraithrair are experts at fashioning iron. If Bere...

Hi, just thought I'd stick my head in and send greetings from Oregon. I first (not the last) read the first chronicles accidentally in reverse as I had found The Power That Preserves for a quarter at my grandmother's garage sale. I have no idea how she came to have it, as she was definitely not a sc...
