Loading... The Power that Preserves (1977)by Stephen R. Donaldson
None. best of the trilogy, with some nice descriptions of the terrain in the Land. a somewhat ingenious combination of the Fellowship of the Ring with Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, the series is marred by an inability to resolve the extreme inconsistencies of the main character's central tenets in any believable fashion. (  ) macha | Jul 7, 2012 |  CHRONICLES OF THOMAS COVENANT  rustyoldboat | May 28, 2011 | The final book in The chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever. Covenant must come to terms with "the Land" and how he feels before everyone he knows is doomed. His final confrontation with Lord Foul will have farther reaching consequences than he knows. One of the best trilogys I have ever read, it stays with you long after with questions about what makes a hero, and how even the most horrid person can be redeemed. (  ) Lizparker | Feb 18, 2011 | The final part of the first Thomas Covenant trilogy, in which he completes his mission in the Land. It was only really in this volume that I finally got the sense of an epic fantasy Stephen Donaldson was presumably after. The story is gripping and kept me turning the pages. I will probably reconsider and think about adding the 2nd trilogy to my wish list or even the TBR pile. ( ) Robertgreaves | Jul 29, 2010 | A fantasy classic, and just as good as the first two books. See the review of the paperback edition for a full review. ( ) Karlstar | Dec 3, 2009 | no reviews | add a review
