The Runelords

review 1: In theory, each book should have a beginning, middle, and end. It's the beginning and end that readers enjoy the most. That is why I think many fans of the Runelord series dislike the latter books in the series; books 6 and 7 consist mostly of the boring middle part that we're just trying to get through to get to the end.Instead, things just keep getting worse and worse, and it's to the point now that things are so bad there is no frame of reference anymore. It is difficult to relate to the characters because they suffer on a much greater scale than we do, thanks to runelore. Things are so bad that I can't take the situation seriously anymore. I hate it when authors make everything all happy butterflies and unicorns all the time, but this constant hopelessness is really di... morefficult, and it's crossed the line of ridiculousness.Nonetheless, I am still curious to see how this all ends, assuming it DOES end. However, I'm taking a break for a while. I want to read something that isn't drawn out forever without progress.
review 2: The magic in these books is heartbreaking as well as truly unique. If you choose to become a runelord, hundreds of people must give up their lives for you, and so Farland's true heroes bear great emotional burdens as well as great power. Because of this, they are very real people, with hopes and moral dilemmas that you rarely see in high fantasy. The action is gripping as well, and the villains are evil with a capital E. less
