Perhaps because Stephen Donaldson can create such memorable and likable characters seemingly effortlessly, he does not hesitate to kill them off. Then in a fantasy like this, he will bring them back...but they will be altered irrevocably so that they just are not the character you had learned to love. But, by then, he has other characters that you love... This makes his worlds exasperating, but never boring. And his vocabulary... Yes, he has his own world so he gets to make up some vocabulary. But I think he has also made up half of the words that are NOT in the glossary!
