Original and well-written epic fantasy. Lord Foul's Bane, the first book of the series: "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever" will keep you reading late into the night. A real page turner, it never slows down. This powerful and complex story comes alive with deeply believable characters whom you'll come to care about.

And then...3 more books in "The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" which again fully captured the magic of the first trilogy.

But, if you enjoy Tolkien, you'll be thrilled at finding a whole new fantasy world to love.
