Over the weekend, I decided it was time for a re-read; starting with LFB. Today I realized I never came back to Kevin's Watch to see what others had to say about the Last Chronicles. I see that we all seem to be in agreement that there was a lot to be disappointed with. The idea of a missing chapter...

Mine came in the mail today! I still have 154 pages to read in ALTE, so now I need to get to it and finish it! My timing was just a little off! :)

How about Caer-Caveral? And Caerroil as in Caerroil Wildwood? I have never tried to pronounce Caer-Caveral. Another one of those times where I just recognize the letters. For Caerroil, don't laugh but I always pronounced like the breakfast food, cereal. It's not even close, but it worked for me. :)

caamora = ka-a-MOR-a, at least in my mind. I know there's no apostrophe between the "aa", but it just sounds more solemn and religious this way. I've always pronounced it ka-mor-a, but like High Lord Tolkien said early in this discussion, I make them all up to fit my purpose and in many c...

Just finished WGW - Why didn't Foul wake the worm?

I read though many posts on the subject of the Arch of Time and the Worm of the Worlds End. There seem to be many different ideas about if one or both exist. After completing the Second Chronicles for the 3rd time, something really stood out to me. On the one hand we have Foul throwing his entire be...

Just finished WGW. I forgot how much really goes on in this book. But the one thing I did notice that I didn't realize before is the TC did not become part of the Arch Of Time. He was a ghost that was able to stand between Lord Fowl and the Arch Of Time, absorbing fouls attempts to break the Arch Of...

And why did the Elohim try to keep Vain? Was Findail "appointed" before Vain escaped and then tried to keep him to avoid his appointing, or was he appointed after Vain's escape because he had escaped? Findail was appointed before Vain's escape. His appointment was made known from his firs...

I just finished TOT today - for the 3rd or 4th time - and had suddenly made the connection to Vain's arm "transformation" being a catalyst for making the new Staff of Law. I even started a thread asking if anyone else had come to this conclusion. And now a read this: Another thing...in LFB...

The One Tree: Vain's arm turns to wood

I just finished reading "The One Tree", and had a thought about the events that occurred when Seadreamer touched the One Tree. Here is the passage that gave me an "ah-ha" moment. "He <Vain> smiled ambiguously as one of the stars struck and burst against his right forearm. An...

Hello Stevo. :wave: Everything?? Including Reave the Just and Daughter of Regals, Gap books and Mordant's Need?? I didn't even know about most of those until I came here almost a year ago, but I've read them all now. :D I haven't read Reave the Just ... but that's now on my list! :) Loved the Gap b...

One thing is certain: the ring in itself does contain power. In the Illearth War, Hile Troy takes the ring and starts to pull power from it right before the Forestal stops him. Then TC takes the ring back. He gave it to Troy, but Troy did not give it back. Just something to consider. There is certai...

Hello All! I came across this site while doing some quick research about when the last book of the Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant would be released. I've read almost everything else Donaldson has written, and can't wait for the conclusion. I'm almost half way through the reread of the first 9 bo...
