Yeah, I noticed that one too.
At least in this one, SRD didn't keep repeating phrases in Linden's mind in the manner of "are you not evil," "don't touch me," "you are being forged...", etc. For in ... |

I don't really dislike Linden after TOT, but her use of the white gold has been bugging me. It's probably because Covenent is white gold, and she is not, but the power is treated entirely differently ... |

Rivendell? You mean Revelstone, right? I've never read it, mostly because I dont want to spend 20 dollars on a book that's over in a couple of hours. Is it really worth getting? |
