Kevin's Watch

I've just finished the chapter when the quest leaves the land of the Elohim in the second chronicles of Thomas Covenant.

Oh my God!!!!!! How cool is Vain?????

Spoiler

Did anyone else really enjoy it when he managed to escape from those elohim walts???? So amazing to see them arrogant bastards get their asses kicked by Vain the way he busts his way out of elmensdene is amazing!!!!!

I really enjoyed this chapter.

Tell me wat you think?[/spoiler]

Vain rocks! That's one of the many reasons he's my favorite character in all the Chronicles and that part is one of the main reasons why The One Tree is my favorite book!

Vain is awesome....wait until you see what he does in White Gold Wielder! It only gets BETTER!

thanks a lot guys. I am looking forward to white gold wielder as u say. Can't wait for the destiny of vain to be revealed

In conclusion, GO VAIN!!!!!!

Yeah, Vain rules.

Yeah Vain is brilliant... Couldn't agree more. So far he's one of my favourite characters in the books. But I don't think anyone could quite beat Amok in the race for favourite character. He is just amazing!!!!

I can honestly say that you will not be disappointed. Trust me on this.

Fave character? So far I'd say Hile Troy. But I'll be rereading the second chrons in a couple of days (right after I finish up TPTP), so I'm sure that opinion will change.

Ah, Vain. Mr. Personality.

Mr Personality.... heheheheh...
I was never that impressed with him, pound for pound I was into Findail more. Although that was a really great scene. Restored a little bit of pride in the group, no?

character?!?! he didnt do anything!!!!

Yeahp, that's pretty much how I responded to him too I liked how the characters kept on talking about him and thinking about him. I always imagined he was a cardboard cutout

Elena was always my favorite. I wish I could really meet her.

There are so many cool things in the Chronicles. Vain is certainly up there. But my favrorite moment is...

Spoiler

Upon the word "Nom"

Nom? Nom nom. Nom nom nom nom nom nom!!

I thought it was an interesting reversal that after all of the damage done by ur-viles in the first Chronicles that Covenant would actually be accompanied by one in the second.

I remember thinking "WTF?" when Foamfollower gave Vain to Covenant and told him to trust the ur-vile.

What I have wondered is: if Vain were the pinnacle of the ur-vile's lore, and their finest creation, why didn't they "mass-produce" beings like Vain?

Oooh, I love Nom too. He's got battering ram arms, what's not to love? I do like Vain alot tho, b/c when he gets wounded, I feel bad for him. Never for Findail tho, he can go cry me a river. Get over yourself!

Yeah your right, nom is super cool. Backward bending legs, no face, and as you say battering rams for arms!!! all excellent qualities, not to mention his destructive disposition.

I also agree with all that is said vain totaly rocks so far he is the best character in the book so far i think. I have only just finished reading the first book and am now on the second i dont have as much time as i would like to raed the books with scool and all

so in conclusion vain totaly rocks

ps. this is my first post i hope it is all right

Your post looks good to me Newbie.

You know, I'm not that big a fan of Vain, myself. If there's one character in the second chrons that I truly enjoy, it's Pitchwife. He seems to be eternally joyful, finding the positive in most anything. Much like Saltheart, whom I enjoyed the most in the first chrons.
