The Runelords

review 1: I love David Farlands Runelord series, and this was another excellent story. My only criticism, is that although you learned new and interesting facts about the story and its characters, it still ended pretty much in the same place the previous book ended. There was no advancement. I felt that Borensons storyline could have been a little less detailed, allowing it to be combined with the previous novel.
review 2: This book should have been feathered into the previous title, The Wyrmling Horde, which is what Farland usually does. While the Wyrmling Horde was one of the three best books I read in 2008, this book ranks up with Brotherhood of the Wolf as the weakest of the series. This story follows Sir Borenson, now merged with someone on the new world, and his... more wife Myrrima. They are called back into the battles they thought they had left behind. This is long on action and moves swiftly, but the rich philosophical meat that fleshed out Horde is missing. Additionally, he completely ignores to major storylines he left hanging at the end of Horde. Very frustrating indeed. In tone this is stark, gritty, and brutal. I'm just hoping this is a bridge novel and things will get better with the next one. I have to find out what happens to everyone, but Farland/Wolverton is much better than this. less
