Thomas Covenant was shocked by Linden Avery’s demand; but he realized that, despite their awful failure on The Isle of The One Tree, there was no alternative but to return and fight. Mhoram had warned him: “…In the end, you must return to the Land.” After a long and arduous journey overland, the company reaches Revelstone. Following a fiery showdown with Gibbon Raver, Covenant discovers that he can come to terms with—and control—his awesome power. As he readies himself for the final showdown with Lord Foul, the Despiser, Thomas Covenant knows he has the answer at last.

A very deep a moving journey unique in all of fantasy
Revisado: 05-13-23
A magical work of mixing fiction and language into a poetic prose saga that inspires and moves the reader or listener. Having read the series several times now I can say that every time I return to it and to The Land that Stephen R. Donaldson has created I pick up on something new about both the story and it’s players as well as about myself.
Highly recommended and supremely narrated on audio book by Scott Brick as well, Turns out that The Saga of Liden Avery and Thomas Covenant fits that medium very well indeed if you are so inclined.
Enjoy.

Thus Thomas Covenant, accompanied by Linden Avery, begins his search for the One Tree aboard the giantship Starfare’s Gem. Armed with the knowledge given to him in Andelain by his trusted friend, the Forestal Hile Troy, Covenant was determined to succeed. He was the last hope for the salvation of the Land, because only he had the power to forge a new Staff of Law and, with it, to stop the encroaching desecration of the Sunbane and the bloody sacrificial rites of the Clave.

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.

A Rarer Gem amongst other more known fantasy works
Revisado: 03-19-22
I've read this 4 times and now listened to it once across various stages of my life and I always come away learning something more, about the story, it's characters and myself at the stage at which I've been at in life while reading it. While it does borrow a bit conceptually from the likes of Tolkien it also manages to create a wholly realized and unique world of its own. Something like cross between fantasy and a Stephen King novel, it possesses an interesting multifaceted magic system for each of it's peoples and some very interesting, unique and memorable characters overall. The supporting cast are often more liked than the protagonist, and in ways I believe that was by design. Certainly not a book for those who dislike nuance or complexity or moral failings in their protagonists and clearly a product of it's time. Still, after all these years, authors and works in the genre this one still calls to me and never fails to evoke deep musings about life, illness, escapism, morality, the way humanity treats it's outcasts and the power of fiction to give insights into ourselves and this world. Highly recommended - and I'll bet you will come away wanting to learn more about the magic of The Land itself and with admiration and of love some of the interesting supporting cast standouts like Lord Mhoram, Bannor of The Bloodguard and of course Saltheart Foamfollower of The Giants of Seareach. It has a slower start but if you stick around the payoff is well worth it and books two and three are much better paced. Overall a great work of fiction especially for it's time.
Four Stars.
