The Sum of All Men

Runelords is a solid fantasy book, based on a world with a solid magic system that isn't just glazed over the story, but is an integral and riveting part of the whole novel. David Farland is an author who doesn't shy away from making his characters experience the full scope of life, from joy to despair. Even better, he doesn't shy away from killing them off either, and nothing makes a story more interesting then knowing that good won't necessarily always prevail, and not everyone is always safe! The characters are believable and interesting, and the struggles they go through really lead you through the story, right up to the end. Can't wait to delve into the second book of the series today- I would highly recommend this series to anyone looking for a good fantasy read!
