The Power That Preserves (The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever #3) 
Twice before Thomas Covenant had been summoned to the strange otherworld where magic worked. Twice before he had been forced to join with the Lords of Revelstone in their war against Lord Foul, the ancient enemy of the Land.
Now he was back--to a Land ravaged by the armies of Lord Foul. The Lords were besieged and helpless. No place was safe, and Foul's victory seemed certain. Only Covenant could avert it. Desperately and without hope, he set out to confront the might of the Enemy. Along with him traveled a Giant, a Bloodguard, and the madwoman he had wronged. And in Foul's Creche, Lord Foul grew in power with each new defeat for the Land. . . .
This is magnificent! I've reread the first Thomas Covenant trilogy after some 30ish years, mainly because I want to read the latest, concluding trilogy in the series but need to refresh my memory first. I enjoyed 'Lord Foul's Bane' and loved 'The Illearth War', but I had forgotten just how tremendous this final book of the First Chronicles is.It ties up a lot of loose ends from the first two volumes, bringing the stories of such wounded characters as Lena, Trell, Triock and Foamfollower to their
book 3 of the story about thomas covenant. read this in '78-'79. great story! captivating and pure joy to read.

Donaldson's unique talent for delivering fantasy in a way that's literary, quiet, and yet still very absorbing has always been a mystery to me.
He faltered and his eyes fell. "High Lord, does it come to this? Is this the end for us-for the Land?"Mhoram put a firm hand on Quaan's shoulder. "No, my friend. We have noit come to the last of ourselves. And the Unbeliever-Do not forget Thomas Covenent."After a moment, Quaan murmered, "Do you yet trust him?"The High Lord did not hesistate. "I trust that Despite is not the sum of life."Friends, I have a confession to make. One that I really never thought I would utter.I have grown very fond of
This volume brings to an end the first trilogy of the Saga of Thomas Covenant and is the easiest read of the three. Covenant is still an arsehole, but somewhat less aggressive about it than he was in previous books. Covenant still believes his experiences in The Land are a dream, although events both during the novel and at the end provide some indication to the reader of the fallacy of that belief. Also, for the first time in the series, there are chapters in which Covenant doesn't feature,
I'm giving this book 5 stars, because I can't give it 4 1/2. I've given the first two 4 stars each. The Power that Preserves was by far the best book in the trilogy. The siege of Revelstone is epic, and Covenant's final showdown with Foul was its equal. This is great fantasy writing.
