I just finished Book one of the Final Chronicles of THomas Covenant the Unbeliever: The Runes of the Earth. I love the Thomas Covenant stories, but this one seems forced. Before, the tale had a nice, lyrical, epic quality. It had a great ending as well. I though it was finished. I had no reason to think otherwise. Then I go to my local book store and see the new book on the shelf. I buy it unquestioningly and read it in a single gulp. I thought lacked much of the suspense of the other stories, and most of it feels contrived. I think Donaldson is running out of cash, because this book feels like a Gearoge Lucas move to me. I love THomas Covenant and he isn't even really a character in the book that bears his name. Hopefully we will get more of that good old storytelling back in the next two volumes.
