What do you think about my admittedly simple premise of what makes a good fantasy sequel? Also, check out my review of Mage's Blood here: th-cam.com/video/sZyUN3ROZLk/w-d-xo.html
I’m so happy your loving this series! Kitty G was the one that got me to read moontide quartet back in 2016! I’m hoping your reviews help bring visibility to the series! I hope you love the rest! 👍👍👍🙏🙏
The Illearth War book 2 of Thomas Covenant. One of the things done really well in book 1 is the struggle of the main characters conscience (or lack thereof) with the Land. In book 2 this rejection and distance is still there except Donaldson brings in new characters which augment and in some way should *help* Covenant to accept this world, it exists, it's real, and he should work to aid them. One of these new characters is a foil for Covenant and let's just say he fits in with this world, and accepts it, more easily than Covenant because of a disability this new character has. This person should essentially prove to Covenant that he can and should accept the reality of the Land, if this new character can then he should too. It's an interesting juxtaposition and it is the background to all their interactions - this difference, yet extreme similarity these two men have. It was a great addition to the sequel and allowed more exploration of Covenants psyche and that of this new character.

Yo, Andy,
I recommend Iain Banks - Culture series for you. You can read it from anywhere so… Player of Games or Use of Weapons are great entry points.
Christ Andy you fell off.
