In the Wounded Land, Stephen R. Donaldson brings Thomas Covenant back to "the Land". Covenant's wife Joan suddenly appears at the front door of Covenant's home, she seems to be incoherent yet he is still in love with her so he brings her in to take care of her. Following a series of unexpected events Covenant is struck down and ends up back in the Land with Linden Avery. In the Second Chronicles, Thomas Covenant discovers that although only ten years have passed in his life or in the 'Real World' it has been nearly 3,000 years in the Land. Many changes have taken place and not many people know who is he. Thus begins the Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever. This book is best read if you have read the first three books in the series. "Lord Fouls Bane, The Illearth War & The Powers that Preserve" Rated 5 of 5 for a great story that continues the enjoyment of the first series.Read full review
S Donaldson is quite the wordsmith. The story has many compelling characters, plots and subplots. However, Covenant is one stubborn and bumbling hero. I don't particularly like him and I find the whole thing a bit formulaic. Still, having said that, I am compelled to keep reading it LOL!
