Narrative To Books The Wounded Land (The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant #1)
I started this book and found Thomas Covenant was himself, as we knew him in the first series..."woe is me! Life is unfair (to me), all is lost, there is no hope!" So I followed his example....I saved myself! Not again will I suffer through Thomas Covenant's eternal, endless self flagellation and self pity. I have traveled as far as I care to with the Unbeliever. Got through this one (or possibly suffered through this one [am I starting to sound like Thomas Covenant?] and went no farther.My advice? RUN! Run far and run fast...flee! Save yourself! Get away, get away before it's too late! It could be like quicksand! Don't get sucked down!
I'm not a fan of Thomas (the world is unfair to me so everybody owes me) Covenant. (Did you pick up on that?) I read the first trilogy and I'll never, never, ever be able to get those wasted hours from my life back...alas. LOOK AT THAT! I AM STARTING TO SOUND LIKE THOMAS COVENANT!!!!
Yeah, I'm through, no more Thomas Covenant.
Learn from my example, save yourself. (Before it's too late.)
Did you get that I can't recommend this/these?

Read in the depths of time... (not quite four thousand years ago, though.)As I wrote in my brief notes about the 3rd book of the original trilogy, when Donaldson decided to continue writing about the Land and Thomas Covenant, he (and his publisher) were very upfront about it: "The Second Chronicles" bit doesn't try to slip one by you.)As for the book, at first it was a surprise to see the deterioration of both the protagonist and the Land. The tone of this book (indeed all of the 2nd trilogy) isThomas Covenant is propelled back into The Land 3,000+ years after his previous visit. Covenant continues to be a hard person to like, let alone even root for some times. Donaldson's writing can be somewhat stiff but the methodology and story is good.

I have an odd relationship with this series. I read the first trilogy at the end of the '90s and really loved it. Now, so many years and changes later, I decided to jump into the second trilogy. I plan on finishing the series, but I'm not in a hurry; this is both a result of Donaldson's daunting vocabulary and his lumbering narrative style. Actually, I wouldn't say it is his narrative style that is drawn out and plodding, but his character Thomas Covenant. I can't stand Covenant. He is the
Adore, always have... I read this series when in high school. Mostly because my brother told my mom about it while I was listening, and when I said I was going to read it, he told me it was way above my head and even he had to keep a dictionary nearby to understand the vocabulary. I fell in love with the characters, and spent many a week eating up this series like dark chocolate brownies with homemade fudge buttercream icing. I don't know that I've ever loved characters as much, since. This set
"I was wrong. As long as you have some idea of what's happening to you, 'real' or 'unreal' doesn't matter. You have to stand up for what you care about; if you don't, you lose control of who you are."In this book, Covenant is transported once more to the Land, to find that 4,000 years have passed and Lord Foul holds the Earth in his grasp. Alongside Linden Avery, a doctor from his world, he struggles to find some semblance of the world he once knew and set things right.This is the first book in
I am currently almost done the entire second chronicles. I love how the land has changed in this set and there are so many interesting and creative things that they encounter in this set! I never thought I would be into reading about sea travel, but he certain kept it interesting!
