Much Much Much better than the previous book even though this was the epitome of a middle book. Linden while still seriously irritating is balanced by Thomas Covenant even though he was a shadow of his former self. The book is broken into four parts, the first being over 100 pages where nothing really moves forward and yet it was interesting. Parts 2 & 3 move things forward and show devastating consequences for our intrepid band. Part 4 mostly sets up the events for the final book. Donaldson pulls no punches here and I was glad and fully invested in this story for the first time.
