LovedFound myself hating his character so much. yet I just kept getting sucked into the story and the lore and the history and the world. Just really, really, really good fantasy because I enjoyed it so much.

Lord Foul's Bane (2012)
Creators: Liked “Covenant is [Stephen R.] Donaldson's genius!”—The Village Voice He called himself Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, because he dared not believe in this strange alternate world on which he suddenly found himself. Yet the Land tempted him. He had been sick; now he seemed better than ever before. Through no fault of his own, he had been outcast, unclean, a pariah. Now he was regarded as a reincarnation of the Land's greatest hero—Berek Halfhand—armed with the mystic power of White Gold. That power alone could protect the Lords of the Land from the ancient evil of the Despiser, Lord Foul. Except that Covenant had no idea how to use that power. . . .

MixedThey weren't my sort of thing, but people really went for these. They're still in prints. If you've not read them and you like high fantasy with a slight sort of outsider feel, these are really worth going for.

LovedI was like, Steven Donaldson, the amazing Lord Foul's Bane in the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, like one of the big things in epic fantasy, like one of the things that I am studying.
LikedI read them all way back when I really enjoyed them at the time I think
MixedI read part of the first book again the first part of it where he's reflecting on his experience of being a leper is dark very compelling Vivid I remember lots of bits of it and then it kind of diffuses into this wash of high fantasy which is a thing that I've I've yet to cultivate a taste where eventually it may happen but I dnf'd that one
