Just from these summaries, I can understand why I bounced on this series at the time it was offered to me. The amount of description over action would have made it too slow a start for me to get going on at the time.

Now, I'm not sure I would like it because the protagonist seems determined to make himself an unlikable character, without any of the usual compensation that unlikable characters get to make the reader want to stay with them.

Maybe if the lore of the Land becomes interesting and compelling, we can get around the fact that it drags the lead weight of the protagonist along. Or if the people of the Land treat Covenant like the potential world-ending threat he is.
