At the end of Runes Linden sees Tc riding towards her. I was wondering what do you think would (will) happen to the ring she bears?? I mean if he is out of the past, then he still has his, or does he, to many time paradoxes to mention. Yeah, you bring up a good point. Why not just pick up 30,000 Th...

I don't understand what you just said at all. Can you please rephrase it?

It sounds like you are saying two things at once. SRD is the greatest of all time & no one knows who he is.

I'll suffer myself to read it again when the next book comes out, and that one had better be good.

After reading "Ruins of the Earth", anyone.

It's not easy to say in my mind. DillMarl-Lall-Lm.... oh forget it! "That guy."

Speak about abortion. It will be treated as a delicate subject with many disagreements, but whether you are for a woman's choice or for a child's life, you will be accepted for your right to believe what you have chosen. Speak about a current war. You can be pro-war or anti-war and while people may ...

Yeah, yeah, The Illearth War. Thanks.

It's Thomas. SRD wouldn't make it not Thomas. But it might be a recalled Thomas, as in he came through a Falls. Anyway, it's Thomas. It would be really stupid to pull off some kind of "mission impossible" bullcrap & have him pull off a mask of power & say "Surprise! I'm really...

The main character always whines.

Look at TPTP & when it comes to Hile's pov, he's whining all the time & TC appears to be more heroic.

At least SRD is consistent there.

Zeph, Esmer didn't 'just talk to some Waynhim'. He ensured that Linden gained the Staff of Law, which is a much bigger and more important thing - in fact, if you believe what Covenant said to Linden, it is vital to her purpose. Of course his response had to be extreme. And Esmer does not represent ...

And yet, if they knew of its existence all along, why did they not use it before? More importantly, Esmer is supposed to represent a balance. All he did was talk to the Waynhim for Linden, but as a "balancing response" he tosses a few hundred of the most fearsome possible foes imaginable *...

Hile Troy was made to see & yet he still had his spatial gifts as well. Jeremiah will be made more as well & yet he will still have his building skills. I could care less about Jeremiah at all. I've been worried about many of the characters throughout the books, but Jeremiah & Roger are ...

This is *exactly* what I've been saying. The character is so powerful that he could go kill Foul for them & then become worst than Foul ever was by some balancing betrayal. It seems to me that SRD was writing himself into corners & needed something to get him out of them. Esmer is simply too...

Without Tolkien, there would be no Thomas Covenant. And when you look at the first books, it is very obvious that SRD pretty much rewrote LOTR. It has everything in it, the ring, bombadil the forestal, ravers for the wraiths, the list goes on & on & on & on. SRD has grown into his own si...

There might be after the series is finished. But no, so far nothing is known about the rights being taken on by a studio.

Thoroughly unsurprising.

It is for Iryssa's sake that I tread lightly to respond. The coin has flipped. You're absolutely right. I could quiz you on your read & you would have all the answers, perhaps moreso than the slower reader. But you would not have had all the time that a slower reader has to daydream during his o...

I found it to be flawed for other reasons. First of all, SRD seems to be trying to hard, all the while making things too easy; both of which Thomas Covenant himself would find appalling. Esmer is like a walking Dues Ex Machina. He's so powerful that he could go kill Foul & betray the land by fet...

Linden is told to fear Thomas Covenant from at least three people in the book, including Thomas himself.

Ah, Iryssa. For your many kindnesses, I'll flip the coin & stay my hand in this.
