Hiya everyone,

My first post here. :D What does everyone think of it? I'm about halfway through and while I have questions about it, I will wait until I'm finished.

Hail Crescent Hawk! Welcome to Kevins Watch. :D

I loved the book, although I found it different to the previous six Covenant novels. Then again, it has been 20 years or so.

You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

Hail and welcome Crescent Hawk! I think you'll enjoy Runes. Reading it for me was like visiting with an old good friend!

Crescent Hawk, I think you will be disappointed in some minor areas, but overall it's an "E" ticket ride!! Can't wait for you to finish and hear your thoughts.

I thought the Land was a duller place than it used to be. And sometimes, SRD's descriptions leave me going "huh?". I'd have liked more action. But is this going to stop me from reading any of the others? Hell no!
