Chatty Foul! Too funny.Wayfriend wrote: Chatty Foul!!! I feel sorry for Anele ... but I do love Chatty Foul. It's so dang interesting that he actually is present during the Chronicles, and not just at the bookends. I hope Donaldson fulfills his promise of delving into Foul's character, respecting his character, this time around.
Other than that, does anyone wonder WHY Foul is speaking to Linden NOW? Is he setting the hearer on the path that he chooses for them?
Makes me think of the person who always wants to talk to you and won't shut up
But really, I love it too. I also hope we get a lot more of Foul.
I agree, I'd love to see Giants but would be ok if they didn't appear. But Stave could be wrong -- another Giant could have Earth-sight, an Elohim might make a visit to a dromond, or there may be some other reason for them to return to the Land. We already have evidence of this w/ the Ramen returning from their wandering. Also, I don't remember the passage clearly, but I got the impression that the Masters are trying to discourage the Giants from visiting the Land -- what Giant would accept that?Wayfriend wrote: "They will not return in your lifetime." I have no hope for Giants. But that's okay, its someone elses turn.
And have you forgotten about the caesures? The story isn't limited to anyone's "lifetime" any more
