Chapter Five | Chapter Six (Part II)
A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Lord Foul’s Bane! Last time, Covenant was healed, he creeped on Lena, and they finally made it to Mithil Stonedown.
For the reader post, I don’t have anything; I do want to welcome Silver Adept, though!
Let me go on with this, then.
( We still haven't unpaused quite yet. )
A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Lord Foul’s Bane! Last time, Covenant met with Lena, who dumped quite some names on us, Covenant had trouble with his situation, and he eventually managed to climb down Kevin’s Watch.
( I would class this as filler. )
A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Lord Foul’s Bane! Last time, Covenant had two evil beings, one of whom is a Dark Lord, evilly monologue at him, and nothing much of consequence happened besides that.
For the reader post… I don’t have much, so let me go on!
A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Lord Foul’s Bane! Last time, we got the last bit of Covenant’s backstory, he had a meeting with the old man from the first chapter, and he decided to do something… before he presumably fell unconscious.
( (evil laughter) )Chapter Two (Part I) | Chapter Three
A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Lord Foul’s Bane! Last time, we got another chunk of Covenant’s backstory, including how he ended up in the leprosarium and got out again.
Chapter One | Chapter Two (Part II)
A good day, everyone, and welcome back to Lord Foul’s Bane! Last time, we were introduced to our protagonist in a way that very much failed to grab my attention. Let’s see if this time will be better.
( It is, but you'd better be engaged with Covenant's illness. )
So the choice for the next book after Mister Monday fell on The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, by Stephen Donaldson, a considerably older series and, I think, reasonably famous in its day. I’ve liked this series since I was a lot younger, and I think taking it on with a more critical view will certainly be interesting.
For reference, this series consists of the books Lord Foul’s Bane, The Illearth War, and The Power That Preserves (the First Chronicles of Thomas Covenant), The Wounded Land, The One Tree, and White Gold Wielder (the Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant), and The Runes of the Earth, Fatal Revenant, Against All Things Ending, and The Last Dark (the Final Chronicles of Thomas Covenant). In other words, this will keep me busy for quite a while!
( This really looks odd compared to the rest of the books. )
