When he is summoned back to The Land thousands of years have passed and his deeds have become the stuff of myth and legend while the land has changed dramatically. This trilogy is even darker than the First Chronicles and both of the primary protagonists, Covenant and Linden Avery, definitely qualify as anti-heroes. The Land itself has been twisted into a malevelant caricature of its former healthy self. It is really interesting to watch the character of Linden and her relationship with Covenant slowly develop as the books move along. In The One Tree Covenant, Linden, and the rest embark on their GiantShip on the quest for the One Tree. In this book, Donaldson gets an opportunity to further develop the Giants that were involved peripherally in the First Chronicles. We also come face to face with the legendary Elohim and Sand-Gorgon’s that received passing mention there. (  ) jveezer | Jun 5, 2009 | The book wanders, literally. Covenant is outside the Land, and seems to be out of control. They finally have a quest, and a direction, but even so, this book seems aimless. Its still a good book, and it is good to read about other lands, but Donaldson's world is a bit strange, full of powerful beings that could, but don't, interact. (  ) Karlstar | Dec 12, 2008 | We fought the Law and, well, the dark lord pretty much came out on top of that one. Covenant wants to do something about the whole screwed up Staff of Law situation, and this involves a quest with Avery and some Haruchai. Many mysterious mythological races and monsters to be encountered along the way to the One Tree and World's End. Not that Covenant really knows what to do when he gets there. http://notfreesf.blogspot.com/2008/04...
