The One Tree

"Freedom doesn't mean you get to choose what happens to you. But you do get to choose how you react to it."Thomas Covenant, Unbeliever and white gold wielder, leper and lover, who had taught her to treasure the danger of being human.In this second book in the second Thomas Covenant trilogy, Covenant and Linden Avery travel with their Giant and Haruchai companions on a quest to find the One Tree. Covenant believes that if he makes a new Staff of Law from this tree it will be the start of bringing back the Earthpower to the Land. but many dangers assault their quest. And the quest itself may have been doomed from the very start... I'm telling you, this series just keeps getting better and better with each new book. This one has a little bit of a different twist to it as well. In the previous books, Covenant is brought to the Land and generally stays within it's confines. But in this book his quest takes him beyond the Land, propelling him into places and situations that are completely different from what we as readers are used to. There are tons of new experiences and groups of people that the fellowship comes across. And the general feel of the story really reminded me of The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader, since both had that sense of nautical adventure and the reader's sense of omg what are they going to find next? Also there was a bit of a mystery and quite a bit of intrigue surrounding the One Tree itself and throughout the book I had the distinct impression of some type od trap being laid for the questers but couldn't quite figure out what it was, which made the story even more intriguing. All in all, this was another great installment of this fantasy series, and I look forward to diving into the next one!"All who live contain some darkness, and much lies hidden there."
