| Re: Stephen Donaldson
Oddly enough rune, when I read it for the first time many years ago I quite enjoyed the story. However, I recently picked up the first in the series again and had a difficult time getting through it. I found the world to be flat in that I couldn't quite conceptualize it with his descriptions and I found that the self pity and selfish arrogance of the protagonist to be annoying. I'd much rather that all protagonists act realistically but I felt that the author went overboard in the other direction on this one. As if he was proving a point, Donaldson made his protagonist an over-the-top anti-hero. |
