OK, first chapter 17- wherein Terisa visits Eremis in the dungeon and agrees to betray Geraden: This chick is worse than a teenage boy with a bad case of overactive hormones. ...

I can certainly agree with that!! Voter (or citizen) apathy has to be counted also when affixing any blame or responsibility for the current state of affairs. Call me cynical but I believe all parties count on a certain measure of it when making their outrageous promises and then immediately renegi...

I re-read the whole series anticipating that AATE was the last book. When I arrived at the end, starving for more, and read that the last book isn't due until 2013 I flipped my lid!!!! I immediately turned to the internet to see if maybe the release date had been accelerated; a vain and somewhat fut...

Here's how the 'Pubs can take White House Heard a great ancedote this weekend, a man was asked on a survey what are the 2 biggest problems in America? He answered, "I don't know, and I don't care". Those 2 problems are certainly much more a cause of current environment than whoever's in t...

I just finished chapters 17 and 18 and once again I’m disgusted with Terisa! OK, first chapter 17- wherein Terisa visits Eremis in the dungeon and agrees to betray Geraden: This chick is worse than a teenage boy with a bad case of overactive hormones. Though I have to say that I can identify (somewh...

I'm not disputing that Obama buckled right away and is a washout as a president. I think it's the whole system; it's been hijacked by bankers and tycoons, oil company execs and the military-industrial establishment. My point is the president runs a campaign on promises of real change then when he's ...

My avatar shows I’ve got taste eh? The Gap is next on my list for sure!! I just completed chapter 16 ‘Who your friends are’ At first I really really didn’t like Terisa. I think because I was comparing her to TC. There are some similarities and I kept referring to those in my mind. First; they’re bot...

The financial 'orgy' in Washington was started long before the current prez. Look to Bush and the trillions of dollars wasted on Iraq and Afghanistan; nevermind bailing out a bunch of billionaires who are the real culprits in all this. The country is going down the toilet because the whole governmen...

Mordant's need through the eyes of a newbie NO SPOILERS PLZ

Ok so I've been encouraged to start a thread on this as I've never read this series. I know! I know! Where have I been hiding? First a little background on me I guess.... I was, and still am I guess, a big fan of LOTR in the late seventies and I was hungry for more! I read the first Shannara book an...

Not sure if this is the proper thread but Jenn invited me to comment on TMoHD as this is my first time reading it so here goes. . . . . I'm still puzzled by Terisa; not sure if I like her or not. I was discussing her character with my GF and commented that I found her lack of belief in her own exist...

Kinda have to agree with Avatar; has there really been any change? If you ask me the real power doesn't lie with the president but with the money-and-lobby-influenced congress and senate. The president is just a figurehead with the power to veto but not much more. Well. . . . he (or she) is a good f...

The Mirror of Her Dreams, for the first time!!! Such a different style than TCTC, more along the lines of 'classic' fantasy. Though I must say I'm overjoyed that there are no elves, dwarves or trolls. To me that's just 'cookie cutter fantasy'; it gets old real quick (Brooks) and the reason I fell in...

SD I like the way you broke this chapter down also!!! I was puzzled too about Linden's sudden change or sudden lack of confidence. All through the first two books she took action, took control and made decisions that spoke of determination and courage if not confidence. Seeking the staff of law and ...

I'm new to this forum and was just browsing around getting used to the feel of the place. I read with interest your work on a movie script and have to say I was (and am) impressed. I hope things settle back down for you and you're able to continue; the script shows a LOT of promise!!!
