I agree with some of that BossK, the fall of the watch could have been a dramatic climax to the whole first book, but got a bit lost I think in the ongoing action. It will be interesting to see what the ramifications are could this be a way of shutting the door to "real" world? I too liked the choice of Stave, tho' his motives are still open to question in my book.
A favourite moment to add for me was Stave re-routing the party to Revelstone, I did not see it coming and was wondering how the journey that took so long in LFB was going to happen so quickly, then Bam!
However no moment has yet eclipsed the moment of the whole TC series yet for me.....that was one word, NOM!
Awesome stuff.

Actually, I liked (in a sense) how the early demise of Haven's Farm and Kevin's Watch contributed to the tone and mood of the story.bossk wrote:Agreed that the fall of the watch was not given the gravity I put on it in my own mind. I was absolutely floored that it was gone, but the action proceeded so fast that nobody else seemed to remark on it.

One scene clearly stands above the rest for me, at least in the sense of experiencing a powerful 'wow' while reading - Linden walking into her lounge to find Revelstone and Mount Thunder made out of toy bricks.
To me that was so unexpected. Detailed knowledge of two iconic locations in the Land (indeed, the two opposing powers [The Two Towers, lol]) by someone in the 'real' world other than Linden or Covenant. And a child at that.

Yes, me too. Along with the fall of the Watch, the scenes with Esmer at the Verge, and Linden finding Jeremiah has built Revelstone and Mt. Thunder. And... so many more!!drew wrote:My most memorable scene, was during the fight with the Kresh, when Anele was telling the story about the One tForest through the eyes, of the mouintains.Spring wrote:3) Any time Anele speaks. He is so sad.
That touched me deeply.
The most intense, memorable scene ever for me was the Ritual of Desecration in TPTP. I had chills for hours!!
I'm now listening to the audio of Runes and am finding it to be much more powerful and intense than when I read it. Probably because I've been out of SRD's universe for so long, it took me the whole book to really connect with it. I had the sense when I read it that there was a whole level I was missing.

I just re-read Runes and just loved when Stave declares his alliance with Linden. For him to rise to that occasion and for his bravery just jumped out at me as one of the most poweful moments in the chronicles but especially in the Runes.
Not every person is going to understand you and that's okay. They have a right to their opinion and you have every right to ignore it.

I wonder, now that it's been mentioned... what if Roger is what the Ravers were before they were rendered bodiless? After all, who was their mother? For that matter, who was their father?!
AND WHAT HAPPENED TO BEREK'S QUEEN WHEN HE BECAME LORD OF THE LAND?!

I really liked the scene when Linden Avery was thinking about where the water in the stream was coming from, as it rushed down from far off up the trail and the mountains. The description was written in "stream of consciousness". It was like reading the older style of Stephen Donaldson, from way back in the first Chronicles.
