A review by davechua
Lord Foul's Bane by Stephen R. Donaldson

4.0

Possibly the most disliked protagonist in fantasy, but Donaldson has pulled off a neat trick. It's the land - rich in culture and love for the environment, that the reader roots for. The Land depends on Covenant, a character one absolutely loathes, to save it, and it creates a compelling contrast in the story. Other than that, the Tolkien references are rampant, including villains that remind one of Gollum and Sauron.
