I've started reading the Gap

Post by Lord Zombiac »

Funny thing is, I found it in the library's free book section years and years before my passion for SRD was re-kindled.
I picked it up because I remembered how much I enjoyed TCTC.
By happy co-incidence it also happens to be the first book in the series!
Yay!

Welcome to an entirely new Donaldsonian universe.

The Gap is a very dark series, but persevere. This is some of his very best work.

Well I'm enjoying it thoroughly, and nothing's too dark for me!
If Donaldson can out-sick "Les Chants de Maldoror," I'll be both surprised and delighted!

Not, I think, the author's intended reaction to that scene.

I first read them from the library, and after I finished Chaos and Order I had to wait a month until TDAGD. It was agony.

Imagine how it was waiting for it to be published. THAT, my friend, was agony.

:lol: The advantages of being a latecomer, I suppose. I'm experiencing that myself since I finished AATE.

My experience was similar. I waited reading any of the Gap books until I heard the release date of TDAGD was a couple months away. I'm not a fast reader, so I figured reading 4 Donaldson books would take more time than that, but I finished in a single month. I couldn't put the last half Chaos and Order down, not even to pee. Can't say I regret reading it that fast either.
