Title: Bad Jordan ripoff
Product review: David Farland as a writer does not seem to have the breadth nad depth of imagination to write something unique. As a result the Runelords saga contains a lot of the same premises are every other high epic fantasy, with a good deal stolen from D&D and other authors' works. For all that some people rave the unique magic system, I was busy rolling up those characteristics for games when I was in seventh grade.THe worst part is the hackneyed writing. The dialog here comes from spending too many hours in front of bad period movies. The humor works occasionally, but Farland is a one trick pony; when he gets a cute joke he beats it to death, like the walmute thing.Skip this one. Buy something good.
