Sorry, Chuck, but I feel you have made an error in judgement.  The first
book is not as exciting as the second, but, it lays the ground work and
explains what TC is discovering about the land.  For instance, what hurtloam
is, who Lena is, Artarian (sp?) and Trell's feelings toward TC . . . these
are quite important as are the detailed descriptions of the Land itself.
I would have missed so much in the following books if I had skipped the first
volume.
