Seon Ji (Dawn)'s Reviews > The Wounded Land

Thomas returned to his world after defeating Lord Foul, and is now considered a hero for saving the little girl from the snake bite. His lawyer fought the townspeople for him and has been able to keep his home Haven Farms.

There is a weird cult operating in his town and his ex wife Joan is possessed. He is trying to protect her, and to keep her hidden in his house, until he can figure out what to do with her.

When new doctor Linden moves into town, she is asked by her new boss to help Covenant, and find out what's going on with him, in his house. When she got to Haven Farms, Linden saved an old man having a heart attack who was standing in front of his driveway. When he revived, the old man told Linden she was "The Chosen One" then he walked away and disappeared.

The cultists kidnap Joan to sacrifice to Lord Foul, but Covenant takes her place. Linden witnesses this and runs to stop him, only to be transported with him back to the Land.

Thousands of years have passed in "The Land" but in Thomas Covenant's world only ten years have gone by.

Now back in the Land, Thomas and Linden have a great task. The Land is being destroyed by a renewed Foul who is using his Ravers and blood as his weapons. The Sunbane grows in power with blood, but the new people of the land voluntarily feed it thinking it is the only way to survive, thus speeding the Earth's destruction unknowingly.

The council has changed to "The Clave" headed by (view spoiler)[a Raver (unknown to all) (hide spoiler)].

Covenant and Linden make many new friends, and start their quest to save the Land.

My opinion? The beginning, was poor. Donaldson didn't convince me why the new doctor got involved with Covenant. It should have been more developed. It seemed Donaldson was rushing to get the characters back to the Land. But I stayed with it, and once they hit the Land, I was engrossed. So I still gave 5 stars.

Content concerns: Blood, violence, suicide mentioned. No sex, mild cursing. Alcohol.
