Linden - much like anchovies - is about as appealing as Satan's butthole. Thus only THOOLAH offers the true path to enlightenment. It's a well-known fact that the lost and deluded members of that depraved sect, Linden's Army (I shudder even to mention its name) carry out obscene rituals where, afte...

Ärrr...the emergence of TLD messed up my re-reading of ROTE and now Malazan stole the time yet again, but the 50-60% I put behind felt considerably better than upon the first read (I gave the book back then only a single star, now upgraded to three). SRD's writings have a tendency to mature. I shal...

Loved the First and Second Chronicles and have re-read them many times over the years. The TRTE seems written in a very different style, which I guess is understandable, an authors' style will change over 20 years. It just seems a little plodding to me. Add that to a dislike of Time Travel stories,...

Greetings, CerealKiller. feelings about a protagonist(ess) whom I shall not name. :wink: Why, she's useful occasionally ;) At least to me. Respect my options and I will respect yours Really? Have you mentioned me here? So, with all those options above now I wonder how a difference between a tasty n...

Here's a Zen riddle for you all. I trust that you'll find it enlightening... Question: Linden Avery, Jar Jar Binks (that character from Star Wars 1: The Phantom Menace) and an IRS inspector all coincidentally weigh exactly 125 pounds. They find themselves all at the top of the Empire State Building...

I don't know why but I was able to connect with the TC character far more than I could with Linden. I am completely unable to sympathize with her character in the Last Chronicles (so far, haven't finished) as opposed to a slight sympathy for the in the Second. I try to like her, but with every decis...

Greetings all. A lurker delurking here. Read the First Chronicles back in high school (late 1970's early 80's). Read the Second's as they came out. Didn't start the Third till 2008 and have not been able to continue reading them due to feelings about a protagonist(ess) whom I shall not name. :wink: ...

Lurker deLurking. I was kind of apathetic to Linden in the Second Chronicles, but I have developed such a frothing hatred of her that I have not been able to finish The Runes of the Earth. I have picked it up several times over the years but usually give up a little more than half way through. Does ...
