Read Lord Fouls Bane back in the 70s I think. Back then the genre was very limited and I’ve always hated that these tend to be trilogies with long waits for the next volume. I can’t remember how many of the Thomas Covens t books there have been. At least three trilogies, maybe four? The last one was four books long? It’s been a little while now so I forget. I’ve read some of his other stuff too but the ones about the Land are the best.

I read both trilogies and thought White Gold Wielder was the end, didn't even know there was a tetrology until very recently.

Now I'll have to start reading that set real soon, but still need to find the quote I asked about and it's original context....

Started the Third Chronicles a while back. Have to revisit Donaldson and finish those two series.

There was a book or books set in some ancient kingdom. There was magic involved and I think magic mirrors if I remember right. Was pretty good.

donaldson is a really good writer who got better since the first Covenant series.

If you like those kind of books, you know LOTR type stuff. There’s a guy named Brent Weeks, looks like he just published the new, final volume in his Lightbringer series. I think fourth. anyway I just looked him up and saw his new book came out in December. I’ve saved the last couple volumes for when I was having surgery and knew I’d be bedridden for awhile. My health is good now but I’ll be picking this one up.

The one where one of the people (or beings?) in the final push to save The Land sacrifices himself to help the others and as they cry out to him, he says something to the effect of, "It's not my life that matters, but LIFE." Is there any help here?
