Title: Good Reading........but slow.
Review: At last, a continuance of the Thomas Covenant series ! But, as all the others, it is a slow read, full of mouth twisting words that can't be found in the common, everyday dictionary.....not the names of places or individuals....but words used to describe emotions, objects, etc.....and the series would be served better if the author would use more commonplace words to let the "unsophisticated" reader better understand the flow of the tale being told. ie: 'argute throb'....now why in the hell do you use 'argute' ??? Why not use sharp or shrill ???? When ya don't recognise a word, ya gotta get the ole dictionary out an look it up. And then, it ain't in the dictionary.....so ya gotta go to the thesaurus and see if it's in there....if not, then "Google" it ??? As I said, Makes for a slow read.Not to detract from the excellent story unfolding before your eyes, the series has held my attention for decades now and I hope that the tale will continue into the next decade.
