      To be fair, I bailed on this somewhere near the beginning, but (in terms of pages read) would be definitely the middle of most books ... this book is long.

      Too long, as it turns out, as it just feels stretched out and sloggy. There are a few decent/interesting moments, and then everything crashes to earth again as uninteresting people do expected-fantasy-trope things. It may very well get better near the end, or in book two, or four, but I'm not going to wait for that any more (this year I've really taken "life is short" seriously ... my Dad died, and I'm feeling mortal, and my worst fear is that I'll die some day without having read all my favourite undiscovered books ... and time spent on a book that definitely won't be a fave is time wasted. So I bail).

      The beginning is a bit Stephen King-ish, and then the just-past-beginning is a bit Donaldson-ish (i.e. Thomas Covenant), and as I've said neither is very grabby. Still, others have liked it--if you're a huge fan of slow set-up, little explanation, and travelling in woods, go for it. If you're after a lesser-known, fun, fantasy series from a few decades ago, I'd read Duncan's Magic Casement series instead.

      (Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s).

      I decided this is a good year to reread this whole series. I've read it a zillion times over the years, but it's been probably ten years since I've read it beginning to end. I'm curious to see if I love it quite as much as I did when I first got my hands on it.
    • 5/5
      This is an excellent book! I just had to pull it off the shelf and read it again. It has everything I expect in a book: well written, strong characters, likable protagonist the reader can get behind and cheer-on. I have read reviews that have “claimed” that this series is derivative of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time repetitive monstrosity. Well don’t believe them. These books are actually absorbing and exciting, and have a lot going on in them, whereas – in my humble opinion – Wheel of Time is an exceptionally long sleep-fest. Not to mention you get the bonus of the protagonist, Travis, getting the hot blonde Knight in the end. It also has a decidedly Stephen King-esque quality to it: very scary and dark at times. Along the lines of Stephen King's The Dark Tower series. Go on read the series you won't be disappointed!

      Transdimensional interesting novel and I want to read the sequels, something like Charles de Lint.
    • 3/5
      The First Rune series is worth your while if you're a fantasy fan. A story of alternate worlds and the common human hero who doesn't want to be a hero, but is thrown into both worlds without choice. Anthony has created settings which are interesting, and characters you find yourself caring about.
