White Gold Wielder by Stephen R. Donaldson.
The Power That Preserves by Stephen R. Donaldson.  Three nights in a row going to bed late, and some of it's me, but I/he still hasn't gotten to the snakebit little girl yet, let alone the second summons. ;clenchedteeth  I read really fast, even if I do go to sleep in under 20 minutes, so a lot of it's an author who always spends two months on the boring part in the real world before it gets faintly interesting.

-Found it while I was looking for World of Ptaavs and Neutron Star instead of what I was looking for.  I need to sort my books...

If anyone's interested, I could say a lot more than I have about Donaldson and the Thomas Covenant books...

Tracker, Foreigner #16, by CJ Cherryh

I read the first two Chronicles of Thomas Covenant trilogies so many moons ago. I liked the second, but not as much as the first.

The step down the second set took is not near so large as to the third - which has some fine moments, but Donaldson needs an editor who edits - bad...

Yeah, I've read the first two of the last chronicles and have been pretty disappointed.

You missed the crowning bit of writerly wankery of the entire series then - it took 150 pages for them to move from the very spot the second book ended on, and nothing happened the whole time.

Well, I did read most of Wheel of Time, so I've got some experience with going nowhere.

With Samurai Editor it could have been finished in six books.

And the Lord God said, 'Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language, and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech'.
~The Conclave Bible
