For the love of God, a map please!

One of my pet peeves is fantasy novels/series without FULL maps of the world. The Killing God gives us NO map at all. Someone, anyone! Please post a link to a fan-made map. Or make one yourself. I have no talent or I would. I need to know where everything is in relation to everywhere else. Why don't...

I love "The Village" but I am a huge Shyamalan fan. I even liked "Lady in the Water" and (to a lesser extent) "The Last Airbender".

Nothing can save "The Happening", though.

Weird because didn't Seventh Decimate make the NY times bestseller list? Was the drop off that severe?

The Second Chronicles will have you depressed, like you just lost a friend. Those books put the reader through the ringer. They are great and a phenomenal accomplishment in terms of the writing. But they are brutal. You'll look back at the First Chronicles in a wistful way after you finish them. Act...

A wheel implies turning, as in Roland restarting his quest over again as King wrote the ending. A wheel could also imply the glories of the past returning.

Then again, maybe a totally different ending where Roland battles the Crimson King (the scary version from Insomnia, not the little old guy chucking Harry Potter snitches) and defeats him using his wits and the relics of Arthur Eld? And Mid-World regains the majesty it had before it "moved on&q...

For sure, but it still retains SRD's trademark exploration of character and emotion. I think it's great, really looking forward to the next volume.

How was Lord Foul winning?

This came up on the Reddit forum. Everyone knows that Kevin enacted the ROD with Foul because he was mired in despair because LF "had the feller fist" and was winning the war. Kevin was desperate and latched onto the idea that the Ritual of Desecration might destroy Foul. ...but HOW was Fo...

I think it's clear enough from reading the First Chronicles as a whole that it would have been Kevin's growing doubt that led him to cast about for desperate "solutions". The RoD was one such. The yearning for white gold would have been another Also, we have to remember that, had Kevin no...

So, *ahem* The Sarantine Mosaic. Great duology. Changed the way I look at epic fantasy. Not many books change your outlook of an entire genre. The only negative I have to say about those books is just kidding, I don't have a single negative thing to say about the Sarantine Mosaic. But at least I us...

I was 13 when I read LFB. That was a few years before I read LotR, maybe that's why I don't put Tolkien on the pedestal many fantasy fans do. The Chronicles are far superior in my opinion. I was given LFB by my best friend, who was 14 at the time. So there were youngsters reading Covenant back then ...

Kevin knew the Ritual would kill him, destroy everything he built, nearly destroy the Land itself. The only thing that made it all worthwhile was it would also slay Foul. Kevin was sure of it at the start of the Ritual, else why would he do it? Even a 90% chance wouldn't have been worth it. He was 1...
