[HPforGrownups] ? of the Antihero T. Covenant

I have read (and own) the whole series.  At first, my friend was reading these, and she gave me a brief plot synopsis, which upon I decided that I would avoid the series like the plague.  Then, I kept seeing her reading more and more (the hardback, library versions, which have veeeeery unique covers).  I decided to borrow the paperbacks she began buying--if she found them this interesting, then there must be something to this (she's a librarian, btw, now in SW Ohio near Columbus), and WOW!  Yes, I hated Thomas.  In fact, while I read the first three, I couldn't even call him Thomas, it was just his last name.  He only deserved it.  In the second series, he does mellow somewhat, but the underlying person is still the person from the first series, just older, and a hint wiser about the Land than the first series.  If you don't mind very heavy reading (and I rate it alongside LOTR as level of density), then this is the series to wade into.

And you're right.  Snape and Thomas could be brothers....
