Callan S. Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 In regard to the preface in 'Evil is a matter of perspective', maybe its poor reading on my part I can't remember if the LOTR books describe destroying Sauron, or just destroying his powerful magic item? Sure, the movies depict Sauron exploding - but as I'm remembering the books, they don't. The scene with Frodo in mount doom is basically about Frodo (and a bit of Golum), so Sauron is again made a bit part player (or less) Have I not remembered the text properly and it's made clear somewhere it's all about killing Sauron? Granted, unquestioningly destroying Saurons powerful magic item has its own issues, but one thing at a time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damelon Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Just now, Let's Get Kraken said: The intro to Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. Interesting, great find.

Or something supernatural? Spoiler Something else, because it wouldn't seem that the time line for them to be Swayali would really match up well, not to mention prescience doesn't really seem to be a Gnositic thing. I'd guess they might be witches of a different sort, but I think that is unlikely. They seem more akin to Pythia than anything else to me. My guess is perhaps they have something more akin to Mimara's JE than anything actually sorcerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jurble Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 32 minutes ago, Kalbear said: Any good? I didn't think so. We have a character, in a situation totally inappropriate to it, go into a wall of text speech to her daughter. And it's narration is about as clear as the Revelations of Cinial'jin. As to what it's about, its main character is one of Saubon's personal guardsmen that gets squashed by a Bashrag in TGO. So it's set before that.

I thought it was ok. If you were already planning to buy the collection, I still would, although I am not sure if it's worth it just for that. It is, to me, very reminiscent of the shorter stories in The King In Yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
