| Re: Does anybody recommend Donaldson?
I've just finished the first trilogy, and I would certainly recommend Lord Foul's Bane. The idea of this Covenant anti-hero is interesting, and he certainly lends the story a great amount of credibility.
As for the other two, they sort of lost me. One of the intriguing questions is whether the Land is real, or just exists inside Covenant's head. Rather early in book two, Donaldson answers that question by letting other characters carry the narrative. That contradicts the possibility of the Land as a dream.
From there on resting assured that the Land was real, I found the story turning into rather generic high fantasy; nothing I haven't seen before. |
