Hello all,i am a new and big fan of Thomas Covenant...but after reading his the first trilogy i cant seem to bring myself to read the second after checking out the first couple chapters. It just feels to me my little world in the Land has been lost.....3000 years is a long time and well....everyones gone and such but what i want to know is....is it still the same land we all know?
Does the lords have any impact? i feel lost when i read the book =(
Also have any of you read A song of Ice and Fire?

Do not refrain from reading the Second Chronicles. It's worth every effort, believe me. It is a different world, yes, but later on you will have Giants! plenty of them! and you will visit strange lands with strange folks inhabiting them, and in the end... but I will not spoil it.

But you would be missing out on some wonderful scenes if you don't read them.

Read it!!
The second Chronicles are just as good as the first. The fact that the beauty of the Land has been marred gives strong fuel to the story, and to the development of the characters. If Covenant went back to the Land and everything was hunky-dory, you'd have fifteen hundred pages of him sitting in Andelain twiddling his thumbs. <grin>

I put TWL aside after the first few chapters for some weeks. The changes to the Land, Linden, Sunder - I didn't like any of them. That's don't like as in annoyed, not as in what an a**hole... still, I want to know what happens to him. The latter is the way I didn't like Covenant at the beginning of the First Chronicles.
Anyway, I'm glad I continued reading later, I like the Second Chronicles more than the First by now.
Read on, you won't be disappointed. It will hurt like it did in the First Chronicles, most probably even more, but it's worth it.

Best Covenant books
I agree as well -- One Tree was the shizzo (that's hip hop for 'best' 
)
In fact, the whole 2nd chonicles was quite a bit better imho ... much more original and imaginative. If I had the film rights, I'd just jump into Wounded Land and do a prologue a la Fellowship of the first chronicles in 10 mins or so. Then, you get dropped right into the Land's equivalent of post-nuclear-holocaust and away we go with something QUITE original and stunning. Hell and blood!
