Thats IT!....Estie is a Time Traveler!! She travels to now,,gets a scanner and a laptop..and goes back and scans all the stuff in the Library and puts it in a Flash Drive.! Then she introduces the enemies of Library to the Internet,,who drop everything and just troll everybody else all day...

Thats interesting Way..Her slumbering "gift" seems to be prejudicing a lot of folks,,most surprising the devotees. No matter, the implication is that her gift will be of major consequences or impact. Yet , even if the Magisters didn't know her "condition" they know now, due to M ...

One thing about Donaldson..is that I learned not to trust him with which characters he subtly supports. I haven't forgotten Woodhelven.(spl) He seems willing to sacrifice any character to the plot and or themes. I caught myself more than once getting " invested" in the Lylin character and ...

Estie's gift remains a mystery. That even the Magisters of the Library hadn't mentioned her..mite be a clue. Mystery, maybe that is her gift,,mystify, send folks into an unknown..where their own fears or Love ruins them or saves them respectively. I keep wanting to see her as a saving force against ...

Hey Way! Yep its me..still kickin..Good to see you still at it! Changed computers, email address all that so had to come into here anew. This Great Gods War is making me once again glad to be a Donaldson fan. There is a reoccurring motif here that makes me think Estie and Bifalt will or need to brea...

I think the idea of a time jump will be applied in a jagged saw tooth fashion. Threads will be picked up at different times that suite the authors larger telling.

Something possibly spoilerish about what is Not There.. There are obvious references to religion in the tale. Eastern and western religion are alluded to in metaphor and even straight linear example. But one of the Biggest ,,most changing and potentially effective religious "evolution" in ...

I too am a bit taken back by the Lack here on KW on this book... The War Within is very fine writing by the author. Its good or great as any of his other Good or Greatest.Its as if,,as Sleepless suggests,,,every character is a Tom Cov.Every character is made interesting..hero, villain, King, street ...

Thats a fair review Sleepless...a few other aspects could be brought up: !) The author's ability to make the reader feel..his ability to pull the emotions out of the reader,,are really on classic display in the first and second chapters. A Master at Work. 2)the narrator..has some subtle snarky momen...

I'd say Etsie is the center of TWW..the author fills out all the characters in the book but he really fills the Estie character out..perhaps into the 5 and 6th dimensions..He even kinda admits it the dialogue or two between her and Bifalt..you have changed ..and I have not...all bringing us to her c...
