David Farland delivers a breath of fresh air to heroic fantasy. His brilliant magic system - where runes grant the powers of other men - creates a world unlike anything else. Political intrigue and sudden tragic twists keep you guessing, especially with the sub-human villain Raj Ahten absorbing thousands of endowments. Yet behind the brutal human conflict lurks an ancient underground threat, the terrifying reavers. Written with flawless narrative flow that quickens to an intense climax, it avoids predictable tropes for raw adult fantasy. If you love original storytelling with genuine peril, this stands as one of the past decade's finest reads.
