Against All Things Ending: The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant | Stephen Donaldson
8 posts | 7 read | 4 to read
Stephen Donaldson returns to the internationally bestselling story of Thomas Covenant and The Land in this awesome, cataclysmic adventure Desperate for help to find her adopted son, Jeremiah, Linden Avery has resurrected Thomas Covenant in a cataclysmic exertion of Earthpower and wild magic. But the consequences of her efforts are more terrible than she could have imagined. Sorcery on that scale has awakened the Worm of the World's End: the ultimate end of all Time, and therefore of all life, has been set in motion. And on a more personal level, the results are no less extreme. The stress of reincarnation so many centuries after his death has fractured Covenant's mind. He cannot tell Linden where to find her son. And his leprosy has renewed its grip on him, inexorably killing his nerves. The Ranyhyn had tried to warn her. Now, plunged to depths of desperation and despair for which she is entirely unprepared, Linden seeks radical responses to the dilemmas she has created. Searching for Jeremiah, and accompanied only by a few friends and allies - some of them unwilling - she takes chances that threaten her sanity, forcing her to confront the Land's most fearsome secrets.

"I need you. And I respect you...I know I don't sound like it, but I #respect the hell out of you. If I were in your place, I might have made different decisions a long time ago, but that doesn't stop me from wishing I could be more like you." #QuotsyFeb18

"As the structure of what he had known and understood and thought and desired failed, moment after unaccustomed moment, the sentience that had sustained him across uncounted ages became riddled with fault-lines and potential slippage...he recognized that he was surrounded by needs; by people and spectres who had gathered to witness...whose presence formed the boundaries of Covenant's #crisis, and of Linden Avery's." #QuotsyJan18

Well, I finally narrowed it down, but I'm not making any promises that I won't flood Litsy with more Donaldson quotes about life and #death!

"Dying is easy. Anybody can do it. Living is hard." is my favourite Donaldson quote of all time.

I also love Infelice's speech about the world containing the seeds of its own end.

It's Friday and I FINALLY have my house back after over a week of putting up with company, so I'm taking advantage of the silence and solitude. Let the party begin! #FridayNightDoneRight

It's a lovely autumn day and I finally have a few hours almost to myself. My #EpicReread continues with book three of The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. I'm 596 pages away from from cracking open the final volume for the first time! #LitsyPartyofOne

Balibee146 I identify with time 'almost to myself' feeling like a gift! Enjoy. 7y
TK-421 @Balibee146 Thanks! I enjoyed it while it lasted. The house has been invaded again and now I'm hiding in the bedroom with my book, hoping no one will bother me. 7y
