I read the first six, but didn't like them very much ursidae Send a noteboard - 15/01/2011 02:10:07 PM
Too much sense of "despair" in them I think.
Also, since english is not my first languange, I found them hard to understand at times (since he uses a lot of not so common words).

I just finished the second book (The Illearth War), and I think that it's outstanding so far. It's really interesting to read an older epic fantasy, written when certain elements weren't so cliche as they are now...yet he still manages to pull off some crazy stuff that feels like it was written by a new-age fantasy author.

Has anyone else here read these? Liked/disliked them?





Not to mention Donaldson's vocabulary. Like, holy sh*t.

It's not just that there's much despair, it's also that the protagonist is an anti-hero. - 15/01/2011 07:32:04 PM 627 Views
