For those that love Linden Avery

Many people on this site really dislike Linden... So I've decided to make a Topic about her, and the people that like her. If you don't like her... do not post in this topic... this is not the place.
So... Who here likes Linden? Why? What are your favourite moments in the book about her?

I like Linden. It is unfair to dislike somebody like her when her wost crime is that she's so much like Covenant, who all of you like. All she did was suffer severe emotional abuse her whole life and yet still she rose up to every challenge. My favorite moment has to be when she sacrifices herself to bring Covenant back so he can call Nom.

I love her when she assigns Pitchwife to the First's side. So awesome.

I'll have to read the books again to figure out what's the most admirable moment. One of the most moving moments for me (though it isn't a character-defining choice of any kind) is when Covenant, Sunder, and Linden encounter the first aliantha plant they've seen this trip to the Land--and Linden, seeing the first healthy thing presented to her health-sense since she encountered the Sunbane, weeps. As though she can hardly decide whether to eat the fruit or worship it.

Does that mean we can create a "For those who hate Linden Avery" thread? Hehe.-jay

I like Linden. Or course, I'm morbid. My favorite scene was when she
threw Moksha out of her mind. Hehe, he whined about that for WEEKS! It got annoying, so I hit him with a mallet.

I loved her when she was blushing like a girl! Great moment.

I love her because she loves Covenant. She is unafraid of his disease and of him when everyone else in our world is.

But I'm not afraid of Covenant.
Um, well, I love Linden. Just love her. She made the Second Chronicles interesting.

Are you saying that the second Chronicles would have been crap without her?! That is true... but nevertheless... you demean Thomas in saying such a thing....

I think I agree with Lord Foul. TC in TWL without LA would have been aweful. You desperately needed someone who didn't care about the Land because they knew what it used to be like. The fact that she could see more pain and remember less beauty than him made the second chronicles so cool.

Linden Avery killed my father.
Heh, nah. Actually, I don't seriously "hate" Linden. Plus, it's been a while since I've read the series, so I don't quite remember how I really felt about her. But I do remember getting annoyed with her often, more then I did with Covenant in the first series.-jay

That's actually quite shocking... I thought Thomas was more annoying in the First Chronicles than Linden in the second...

I never really understood Linden's problem with Possession. After all, isn't it nine-tenths of the Law?
