I liked the second trilogy the most. Stephen R. Donaldson said in an interview that he also had ideas for a third trilogy, but I donŽt know if heŽll ever write it.
The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant is really the only fantasy serie I can reccomend (besides Lord of the Rings). The other fantasy series IŽve read are only average at best. I feel way too many fantasy novels are plagued by extremly pointless protagonists who are unnaturally good and strong. So good and strong that you never really feel that the bad guys have a chance. For example the last fantasy serie I read, "The wayfarers redemption" by Sarah Douglas... 3 thousand pages and I more or less could guess the whole story after p500. Stay away from that
