That cover really does Brinn injustice (if that really is Brinn). First, no self-respecting Haruchai would never be crouching in that position with an open-mouthed expression. Brinn would be standing with the usual dispassionate look on his face. Secondly, the Haruchai never felt the need for weapo...

At the risk of getting bogged down in minutiae here (if it isn't to late for that already) it occurs to me that the watch in its leaning out cannot do more so than is consistant with the problems Covenant had in navigating the stairs. Too much lean - too easy to descend (remember Covenant had to com...

Foamfollower is huge of stature as well as height, he has small deepset eyes that twinkle with perpetual good humour. His face is homely rather than good looking, heavy browed and bearded, curley haired (reddish) and heavy set in his features. His hands are large - even for a giant and calloused fro...

QED Wayfriend - now I have to re-adjust my (erroneous) mental image hardened over 30 years into granite as obdurate as that of the watch itself. To hell with it - its not worth the effort - I'll leave it as it is :lol: :lol: :lol: Is there a problem such that the landscape software can't depict some...

Now why didn't I think of that! I was puzzled by the posting and didn't even get it with the reference to TC in the passenger seat. Durrr......

Blackhawk, that is awesome! (and I mean that in its true sense, not the degraded sense in which it is commonly used today {a little bit of the purist in me coming out today - ha ha ha!}). Have you ever thought of doing the first view of Revelstone - the one that had Foamfollower in rapture when he d...

Is there any reason why they should? (I think there may be a 'leaning outward' version on the front cover of one of the editions of LFB in the cover art section - not one of my favorites it has to be said). That's very nice. But no one seems to want to depict Kevin's Watch leaning outwards, for some...

Sorry Hue - He's just way to good looking. I always imagined TC as looking....Hmmmm.....well - just like me actually! (actually I think it's fantastic and once again am bowled over by the quality of the art you guys produce).

Not far - maybe 2/3 of the way through the second book. By then it was pretty clear that it wasn't going to work for me. Interesting as well that King cites TCTC as one of his 'inspirations' to write the series (along with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly). Do you mean challenging as in difficult to g...

Do you mean challenging as in difficult to get in to, or in the sense that i) Covenant is in many ways not a nice man and/or ii) when the land of the first series had eventually got under your skin the total destruction of it in the second series was just too much to bear. I would put Stephen Kings ...

Yeah - that stone tower with the lightening is the one I meant (see Hue of Bones posting). Must admit I never considered it as anything other than the Watch. I seem to remember that Lena said she had seen a diturbance up on the platform that had drawn her up there and always assumed the lightening i...

Great work guys, but for me the definative Kevins Watch will always be the one illustrated on the cover of the first UK paperback issue (by Fontana I believe) of LFB. This must have been the reason I picked up the first book, for the first time, all those years ago. Check it out in the cover art sec...

On the point of sacrificing Trells family in order to save the world I think it is worth remembering that Lord Morham would not sacrifice the life of even one little girl - and one not even from his own world (one of the most touching scenes in the whole series to be found in TPTP) - in order to sav...

I have known a number of people who found LFB a slow starter but percevered to their eventual satisfaction. Me, I was hooked from page 1 and thought it was the attention to detail that was put into this part of the series that made the whole of The Land and its people such a rich and believable (no ...

YEAH! That cut right to the heart of the 'Yoda voice' issue and I think demolished it in one go. And it was as neat a bit of literary criticism in a couple of lines as I have come across. dlbpharmd - you rock! If the poem were truly written in "yoda voice," then it would start: In Beauty s...

Pretty damn close to the way I saw him! (I think the HBND thing is inevitable given Donaldsons description of him).

I think in Covenants case I would have used the Power in order to try to undo the harm I had done to Lena and her family (I know Covenant had tried to make reparation with the Ranhyin but this had clearly failed). I think the Kevin summoning idea was the bad idea to top all bad ideas - as indeed it ...

For me, High Lord Kevin has always been a larger than life figure. A huge man, full of both power and sadness, knowledge and pain - but with a capacity for compassion beyond any others, before or after. All this would be visible in his craggy bearded face and would be enough to inspire both awe and ...

It's a stunning piece of work Blackhawk, but man you need to be reading Fatal Revenant ASAP before doing any more artwork - you hear what I'm sayin'.

Trells despair had gone beyond the point of forgivness and redemption. It had reached that point where, akin to sunlight focused through a lens it had become every thing that he was, is, or ever would be. That was why he was able to enact the ritual of dessecration - he had become Fouls servant in a...
