Title: Cheerfulness doesn't make a good story.
Product review: This series is for anyone tired of the typical hero. Lord Foul's Bane makes the reader so disgusted with Thomas Covenant - the main character - that you have to read on. The writing is incredibly descriptive and the plot is rock solid. If you're looking for cute, lovable characters, look elsewhere. TC is brutally unaccepting of his situation and it does make you start to hate him. Donalson's ability to evoke such emotions is evidence of the high quality of his art. Like most other fantasy novels the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant have their fair share of mythic creatures: sapient horses, Giants, wights, etc. The tale is brilliantly woven with few detectable flaws. Definitly worth reading sveral times. A warning though: bring along a dictionary, you'll need it.
