White Gold Wielder by Stephen R. Donaldson.
The Power That Preserves by Stephen R. Donaldson.  Three nights in a row going to bed late, and some of it's me, but I/he still hasn't gotten to the snakebit little girl yet, let alone the second summons. ;clenchedteeth  I read really fast, even if I do go to sleep in under 20 minutes, so a lot of it's an author who always spends two months on the boring part in the real world before it gets faintly interesting.

-Found it while I was looking for World of Ptaavs and Neutron Star instead of what I was looking for.  I need to sort my books...

If anyone's interested, I could say a lot more than I have about Donaldson and the Thomas Covenant books...

Tracker, Foreigner #16, by CJ Cherryh

I read the first two Chronicles of Thomas Covenant trilogies so many moons ago. I liked the second, but not as much as the first.

The step down the second set took is not near so large as to the third - which has some fine moments, but Donaldson needs an editor who edits - bad...

Yeah, I've read the first two of the last chronicles and have been pretty disappointed.

You missed the crowning bit of writerly wankery of the entire series then - it took 150 pages for them to move from the very spot the second book ended on, and nothing happened the whole time.

Well, I did read most of Wheel of Time, so I've got some experience with going nowhere.

With Samurai Editor it could have been finished in six books.

A handsome young cyborg named Ace,
Wooed women at every base,
But once ladies glanced at his special enhancement,
They vanished with nary a trace.
