I'm not sure if it was because I didn't reread the first two before
I read the third one, but I was thrashing when I tried to
understand "the great lie" that Covenant told Linden.  That turned
out to be that he had implied that they had a future together,
although he knew that he would die after he came out of the Land.
While I thought his solution was a neat one, it was somewhat
disconcerting the way he (and especially Linden) all of a sudden
came to feel that there could be victory in death.  Such lofty
ideas had been usually reserved for the Giants and the Haruchai.
	So, what is Linden going to do now?  No doubt, the Land
will soon be in trouble again.  Now that they have a new (better)
Staff of Law, it will be a simple matter to summon her.  She has
the White Gold now, but when she shows up in the Land, will they
give her the Staff of Law to wield?  I can't imagine there being
much of a contest if she has her health-sight, the Ring, and the
Staff.  I would be interested in reading about the Chronicles of
Linden Avery the Chosen, but I think one book would cover it since
she's so powerful.
