Seriously, that's part of my problem. I don't like her personality to begin with, but I'm REALLY sick of her stealing the show from a character I love.
Didn't I read somewhere on that THOOLAH page that someone said that Donaldson had indicated that it would "definitely be the Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, not Linden Avery." Hm... now that I've written that out, it sounds like one of those "I heard from my sister's boyfriend's little brother's best friend's cousin--" things. Is this seriously going to be the Second Chronicles of Linden Avery? It sure seems that way so far...iQuestor wrote:well, Linden is gonna definately dominate at least FR and likely the last two as well. Don't see how TC can get a ring in edgewise...
So... what you're saying is... that there will hopefully be a THIRD chronicles of LINDEN AVERY?stormrider wrote:Didn't I read somewhere on that THOOLAH page that someone said that Donaldson had indicated that it would "definitely be the Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, not Linden Avery."

That's right. I would not condescend to lie to you, Groveller. All is lost. You may as well give in to despair now.stormrider wrote:WHAT?!
All is lost!!!!!!!!!
I think he's still helpless. I don't think he'll be able to interfere in any meaningful way. If he's a 'diety' or now a being like the Creator or Foul, in the land's mythology, he'd have to someone fulfill a role like the one he once filled. Probably Linden.iQuestor wrote:SRD will pull it out I am sure. but Linden will definately figure heavily in the series. I just wonder if TC can be a convincing POC character because he is a part of the Arch, a deity, so his helplessness and all that stuff is gone. How we can sympathize, i dont know.

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition wrote: despair (dĭ-spâr')
1. loss of hope caused by the presence of Linden Avery; hopelessness brought on by Linden Avery's inability to stop sucking.
2. someone [Linden Avery] or something [Linden Avery's b*tching and moaning] that causes hopelessness
It's even more than that, judging from the Fatal Revenant previews...iQuestor wrote:SRD will pull it out I am sure. but Linden will definately figure heavily in the series.
