Thanks for this -- I've been searching for this quote in the GI. What did he say about books 3 and 4 in this particular quote?

I may be the worst possible judge of my own writing. (Or not. Only time will tell.) But here's how I choose to look at it. "The Runes of the Earth" is the launch platorm. In "Fatal Revenant," the ICBM really takes off. Now the only question is whether or not I can keep up with what I've launched. <rueful smile> Later I'll worry about whether or not my missile is going to hit its target.

I would rate FR 9/10.

Oh, CRAP!

*edits in a cold sweat*

Sorry, sorry, I forgot the OP asked for no spoilers. I haven't done this in a while.

I'm a feeb, a drooling FEEB!

Still: I wish to revise my rating to 8.5 out of 10. Half a point added for reasons I shall not mention AT ALL.

*sigh*

I might be a little caught up in the moment since I finished it only 15 minutes ago,

but I'd give it an 8.5/10, and rank FR second over all among the eight books.

YAY! How do you feel Damelon? Are you still reeling from the roller coaster ride? Bit dizzy?

Post by **Damelon** » Thu Oct 11, 2007 7:47 pm

It was quite the trip!

Runes: 6.5/10, possibly 7 (pre FR)

FR: 9/10, and then elevate Runes to 7.5 because now I know why he had to write Runes like that.

i find FR to be the most exciting, richly written book in this series since the end of the first chronicles.

Roller Coaster ride is a great analogy!

I read FR over the weekend and when I put it down... I was just blown away thinking over what was going on.

9/10..... could easily have gotten 9.5 out of 10 but Ive gotta leave room for the next two books!

I agree.. It is a roller coaster. But I'm now going to rate this a 10/10.

and I believe that SRD can made the next one a 10/10 +1.
Sorry but I am going above the scale because Donnelson can do it.

I put this one at a 9/10 - and the point deduction is for...

Spoiler

....having to endure "Covenant" being so cruel and cold in the first half of the book. Just made for very painful reading.

Post by **aliantha** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 4:13 pm

I liked Runes a lot better this time -- maybe because I knew FR was right around the corner.

Maybe 8/10 for Runes and (oh baby!) 9.5/10 for FR.

Spoiler

(I knew the guy in the 1st half wasn't Covenant but I couldn't figure out who he was...)

where does it rate with the rest of the chronicles?

what mark out of 10 would you give it ?

I've enjoyed immensely TROTE and FR. Give FR an 8 overall, a 9 for part 2 and a 7 for part 1.

Spoiler

Cuz of TC...

I considered it on a par with The Wounded Land.

Best OMG part --- pp. 416-426, First Woodhelven.

RUNES: 10 out of 10, due to the 20+ year wait.

I'm giving FR a 9 out of 10!

Point deducted for Anele's annoying uselessness (as I said in another thread, I'd shove the Staff of Law up his *** and leave him by the side of the road) AND my "so what" attitude toward Jeremiah. SO WHAT if Lord Foul has him? Others are suffering and there is a Land to save!

Other than those two small annoyances... WHAT A ROLLER COASTER RIDE!! The battle of First Woodhelven is worth the price of admission!!!
