Story4 out of 5 stars 738
Thomas Covenant is a leper, a bitter and solitary pariah who is mystically transported to another Earth where time moves differently than ours, one in which magic takes many forms. The Land is threatened by many evils, the most immediate of which is a maddened Cavewight whose subterranean excavations have unearthed the ancient and puissant Staff of Law. More dangerous to the free people of the Land is the Gray Slayer, Lord Foul, the Despiser, who intends to destroy the actual foundations of the Earth that he might wage war against the universe’s creator.

interesting dream/reality conflict
Reviewed: 02-08-25
unorthodox main characters internal conflict is what I found the most interesting aspect of this book. It also seemed to utilize many of the tropes from lotr, but also seemed an inspiration to later authors...I recognized what I felt was many associations with characters/situations with Robert Jordan.
