caelep 's review for:

Lord Foul's Bane by Stephen R. Donaldson
3.0

This book delivered an interesting fantasy tale, unique in many ways from some of the more popular fantasies like Lord of the Rings or A Song of Ice and Fire. But I was not as invested in this story as some of those other fantasies.
I particularly liked the creativity with the different classes and unraveling the Wards. I wish the mystery of the Wards played a bigger part in the story.
I didn't care for Covenant as a character. He starts by being a terrible person and feels cheated through the whole story. While it was almost refreshing to have a main character whom the reader can hardly like, I feel it hurt the overall story.
