Let us see: excellent characters, a fascinating premise, a detailed, alluring world and, imo, one of the best denouenments in a fantasy series. Also, I enjoy Donaldson's prose :) There is very little about these series that I don't like [and no, Covenant doesn't irritate me], I even remember regretting the years these books were undiscovered by me. :) However, I rarely recommend the series to people [you'd notice I just mentioned it- didn't tell Gautam that he should read it]. I have discovered that very few people react to these books the way I do - most people I have met/talked to find these books rather bleak and depressing and most of them find TC to be an irritating, whining git. :) Ritu GCU "Something there is in beauty which grows in the soul of the beholder like a flower" --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
