No kidding.
AATE has more history of the Land than all the other books combined by far and yet no one is talking about it.
Weird.

There was a bit of discussion before. It mostly degenerated into "AATE is awesome" "no, it's the worst!" conversations. Also, a lot of people STILL haven't read it!

Eh, the history is not really why I read these books. I think I said about all I can say on the story itself. Aren't people currently dissecting it? Maybe that's where they all went. Myself, I couldn't bear to read it again so soon. I really dread it when I start my Grand Reread in a year. Hopefully by then I'll have enough distance from my initial disappointment to appreciate it. Maybe it will go faster.High Lord Tolkien wrote:No kidding.

Honestly I still have 100 pages yet to read so I am unable to form complete and informed opinions one way or the other.
I can't promise to discuss anything afterward but at least there will be a chance of it.
I hit kind of a lull point in the story that I expect will be followed by something crazy exciting. However that's my last memory of the book so I've been less than motivated to finish the story. But I will.

I heard the crickets. Then I bounced to the Hegemony and found out what everone's views on politics and religion were. Now I'm back to the safety of my crickets.
All the banes hidden under the earth, are less frightening then what I read in "Hile Troy's Think-Tank". Lord Foul would regress into a baby again, if he were to read some of the threads over in "The Close". The thoughts in that forum are like the Power of Command and should be guarded against unwarranted use, like the Seventh Ward. Knowledge without wisdom leads to Despite.

I am just bored out of my skull waiting for the last book.
Covenant turned in time to see a short figure detach itself from the burning mud, step queasily onto the hard ground.
The figure was scarcely taller than the skest, and shaped like them, a misborn child without eyes or any other features. But it was made of mud. Flames flickered over it as it climbed from the fire, then died away, leaving a dull brown creature like a sculpture poorly wrought in clay. Reddish pockets embedded in its form glowed dully.
