Publisher's Summary
After scant days in his “real” world, Thomas Covenant finds himself again summoned to a strange world of magic and Earthpower. There, 40 bitter years have passed, while Lord Foul, immortal enemy of the Land, moves to fulfill his prophecy of doom - his countless minions are already on the march, cutting a devastating swath of destruction across the Land.
The Council of Lords find their spells useless, however, now that Foul the Despiser holds the Illearth Stone, the ancient talisman of evil. High Lord Elena turns in desperation to Covenant and the legendary wild magic of his ring, but nobody knows how to use the white gold - least of all Thomas Covenant himself.

It tears at your heart
Don’t touch me! Again the tail continues down the path of despair, leper, unclean!
Well voiced and gut wrenching. Read these 40 years ago still enjoyable.

A great classic.
I love Donaldson's writing and the way he makes you fall in love with the Land and it's people. His prose is captivating, and his Characters are flawed and broken, yet still managing to rise above. Reading for this one was improved over the first one, less lilting and easier to track.

Turned out really great
When I read this trilogy as a teenager, I remember struggling with this second book, and considered skipping it in the audiobook version. Finally I decided to get the whole trilogy in audiobook format, and was glad that I did.
I can guess now why I struggled with this as a teenager. Part 1 is just a lot of philosophical meandering around Covenant’s disbelief in The Land, and although beautifully written, doesn’t have much story or action.
The last two parts make up for this in abundance, with gripping story lines and plenty of surprises.
I really enjoyed this book and highly recommended it.

Narrator spoiled the story
I read all of these books some years ago and loved every one of them. I felt the narration was like listening to a sermon in church. I’m so sorry Mr Brick. I’ve read the first 2 books but I won’t listen to the other 6.
