Welcome to Litsy!

Today‘s #tarottakeover card is The World. This card is about realizing your goals and restoring balance. I choose The Power that Preserves, the final book of the First Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever. This book is focused of restoring balance to The Land, helping repair and restore the unbalanced you may cause and what sacrifices may come in tying to achieve this. It‘s final moments always break my heart a little.

The 3rd in the trilogy and first published in the UK in 1978. This ties up the loose ends from the first two books, bringing the stories of the troubled Lena, Trell, Triock and Saltheart Foamfollower to their conclusions. The tale of the Giants is some of the best of the whole series. As always it repeatedly throws Covenant's earlier failings back at him as Lord Foul tries to bring him to the ultimate despair. Such great storytelling

“Part of him wanted to weep... but his purpose was rigid within him. He felt he could not bend to gentleness without breaking.” #Gentle #QuotsyApril18

A few #green books from my shelves; both read and to be read. I've browsed the mythology books, reading them here and there, but haven't given them a thorough cover to cover read yet. Storm of Swords is still on the #tbr, along with the rest of A Song of Ice and Fire. #ReadingResolutions
