A wheel implies turning, as in Roland restarting his quest over again as King wrote the ending. A wheel could also imply the glories of the past returning.

Then again, maybe a totally different ending where Roland battles the Crimson King (the scary version from Insomnia, not the little old guy chucking Harry Potter snitches) and defeats him using his wi ...

The Great God's War is a much more accessible work than the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. Much more like Mordant's Need in that regard.

For sure, but it still retains SRD's trademark exploration o ...

This came up on the Reddit forum.

Everyone knows that Kevin enacted the ROD with Foul because he was mired in despair because LF "had the feller fist" and was winning the war. Kevin was d ...

Never in a million years would iron heels have been part of Caerroil Wildwood's design.

Good point.

I think it's clear enough from reading the First Chronicles as a whole that it would have been Kevin's growing doubt that led him to cast about for desperate "solutions". The RoD was one s ...

Actually Elena is one of may fave SRD characters. I could talk about her all day.

So, *ahem* The Sarantine Mosaic.

Great duology. Changed the way I look at epic fantasy. Not many books change your outlook of an entire genre.

The only negative I have to say about those books i ...

I was 13 when I read LFB. That was a few years before I read LotR, maybe that's why I don't put Tolkien on the pedestal many fantasy fans do. The Chronicles are far superior in my opinion.

I was g ...

I have the hardcover. Bought it off eBay.

And please no direction from J J Abrams or Rian Johnson. Rant

Agreed there. Those two have single-handedly killed my interest in Star Wars (mainly due to what they did to Luk ...

Kevin knew the Ritual would kill him, destroy everything he built, nearly destroy the Land itself. The only thing that made it all worthwhile was it would also slay Foul. Kevin was sure of it at the s ...

My memory says it took place in Kiril Threndor, according to what Foul tells Covenant while he's transporting TC from Kiril Threndor to Kevin's Watch.

Of course it took place in Kiril Threndor. T ...

The war within was published in paperback here in the UK yesterday. I've now bought a copy in hardback and paperback and on kindle. Obviously I love the story and am looking forward to the concluding ...

I'm reading The Belgariad again - haven't picked it up since it was published, just started the first one last night, will probably hate the series but it was pretty much my first Fantasy (that along ...

I'll take that as a no. Very Happy

I like them. They're easier reads than Erikson, but the continuity is good enough that the world remains as believable, and they fill in a lot of the blanks before, betwe ...

Did you do the concurrent Esselmont books with it?

--A

ewwww....Esselmont.

I've only read one Malazon, but it seemed like old school D&D/Dragonlance fanfic to me. I've got to put it back on my to read list.

I was skeptical when I started Gardens of the Moon, I picke ...

Not here. I will start a thread when I get a chance.

Ok

GOT is pretty established as a classic mostly due to its huge popularity

Popular doesn't equal classic.

I stand by what I said. A Song of Ice and Fire is a dumbed-down Malazan Book of the Fall ...
