All the Weyrs of Pern - Chapter Eleven

[kalinara]

Hi everyone! I hope you had a good Christmas, if you celebrate it, and a good end of December if you don't!

We're going to jump back into Pern today. Not much to recap from last time, it's a pretty slow book, but not in a bad way.

( I don't mind slow when I feel like things are still moving. And Jaxom is doing a lot more than he did in White Dragon, so that's a plus. )

Lord Foul's Bane: Introduction and Chapter 1: Golden Boy

| Chapter Two (Part I)

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. )
