It is over 20 years old...I read the 6 books, my father gave it to me when I was younger and how I fell in love with fantasy novells and fantasy genre
I had no idea that he came out with another in the series:

I picked it up Monday and just finished it. Stephen R. Donaldson is one hell of a deep writer. His books are pure tragedy, in a classical sense.

It was extremely tough reading when I was a kid...but back then reading was my favorite subject.
I am thinking of rereading all the volumes again, but I am not sure yet.
He is a superb writer, there was another book I remeber reading by him but all I know is something about a mirror taken to another world. It was great!

Yeah that book had me sitting on the edge of my seat at times. Very descriptive and almost similiar to LOTR. I liked it better then LOTR actually.
Think it would make for an awesome movie.
