Sorcery on that scale has awakened the Worm of the World's End: the ultimate end of all Time, and therefore of all life, has been set in motion.

In the Second chronicles, nature itself was mercilessly perverted in the form of the Sunbane, which destroyed the natural order of the seasons. In the Final Chronicles, the nature of time and space themselves are under attack, as Lord Foul attempts to end his eternal imprisonment by destroying reality itself. In a fight to save the very fact of reality and existence, Thomas Covenant, Linden Avery, and their companions are forced to make extreme sacrifices. You will be horrified by the cost of fighting despair; but you will also exult in the victories gained. With this addition, the Final Chronicles have finally surpassed the previous series, and rival Donaldson's GAP Cycle as his magnum opus. Now, all that's left is the final chapter "The Last Dark," due out in and it will be complete. View 1 comment. Book 3 of 4 and what changed for me to take this to a 2? I will still read book 4 and so, I suspect, will anyone who reads this review as they are as committed to putting this series to rest as I am. I just wanted to get the torture over with and read as much as I could, but things DID improve towards the end, I have to admit, the last Book 3 of 4 and what changed for me to take this to a 2? Secondly, I am just so fed up with Linden. I didn't like her in the second trilogy and she was a big reason for my never re-reading that trilogy and not keeping it in my personal library even though the Caamora at the Grieve is one of the best scenes ever. And I wasn't too excited about her in this last series but I am now pretty disgusted with the whole thing. I quite grasp that despair and despite drain and destroy. I can understand that self-doubt and fear create indecision and limbo. I simply cannot see how this doctor who was able to make all kinds of decisions and come to some sort of terms with her past is such a pathetic lame duck in the Land. Castigating yourself, considering yourself unworthy or tainted, does not give you a free pass from action. Enough with the self-pity and woe-is-me schitck - just Against All Things Ending: The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant that whining! It's not all about you. And could someone explain to me why Covenant thinks that his leprosy somehow defines him I mean, really. You would think that he would have dealt with some of his issues over the eons, but apparently not. A depressing book, an annoying book, with a seriously unpalatable main character who has no real redeeming characteristics at this point except she is still alive and far more likable characters are dead.

This book was an excruciatingly painful read and I'm a huge fan of Against All Things Ending: The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant Chronicles of Thomas Covenant and a Against All Things Ending: The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant fan of the Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. I flipped through the last pages of Against All Things Ending because I couldn't take it anymore and I'm a very patient reader. If the fact that nothing happens in the first pages of this book doesn't tell you to stay away from it, then nothing will. Seriously, they stand around in Andelain and talk for pages. Some of the most This book was an excruciatingly painful read and I'm a huge fan of the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant and a big fan of the Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. Some of the most appealing parts of the prior series were the flawed and sympathetic characters, whose actions of self-sacrifice for the Land or for Thomas Covenant came out of love for the Land, whether those actions succeeded or failed and so often failed, which helped with the sense of despair Donaldson was creating. Now we're left with flawed characters who don't show it through their actions, but by simple repeating of how pathetic they feel, ad nauseam, from their POV and that POV is almost entirely Linden Avery. I was hesitant to pick up this book after the reading the second book of the Final Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. Now I'm sorry I did. I also know I won't be picking up the fourth and final book in the Final Chronicles. I don't think anything can save this train wreck. Jan 04, Jeff rated it did not like it. What an awful awful awful awful book. I read it because it's the latest in a series that should have ended after the second trilogy - we are way past the point of diminishing returns here. Donaldson has always favored deeply flawed characters who choose to wallow in self-loathing even if it takes every bit of strength and determination they can muster, but this time he has gone far too far. Linden Avery has become a pathetic joke; no one could possibly hate themselves as much as she does sh What an awful awful awful awful book. Linden Avery has become a pathetic joke; no one could possibly hate themselves as much as she does she's become a cutter no less! Sad sad sad. In the first trilogy, and to a lesser degree the second, Mr. Donaldson gave us a fascinating world filled with totally intriguing supporting characters who've earned this book its one lonely starthough the main characters of Covenant and Avery are merely tolerable. Now he is in the process of Against All Things Ending: The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant destroying that world and making the main characters utterly intolerable. And he's painfully drawing that out in a pointless tetralogy - like stabbing the helpless reader to death with a dull pushpin View all 3 comments. This is the review I've been dreading and anticipating, all at the same time. If a book could be scored in the negatives, this would be that book. It's a horrible, fetid thing that just sits there. For the first quarter of the book, the characters simply talk. They've reached Andelain. And now they must move on. But first, Donaldson must run every single character through his or her dialogue paces. Against All Things Ending by Stephen R. Donaldson: | : Books

Tempted by finding the last book in the last trilogy in the Oxfam shop I decided to skip to the end of the series.

Thomas Covenant is alive again, restored to his mortal body by the unimaginable combined force of his own white gold ring, Linden Avery's Staff of Law, and the ancient dagger called High Loric's krill.

She brought his spirit back from Against All Things Ending: The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant prison in the Arch of Time, and revived his slain body, so that Covenant lies whole on the cool grass, and the world seems at peace. But the truth is inescapable: The thunderclap of power has awakened the Worm of the World's End, and all of them, and the Land itself, are forfeit to its devouring.
