SPOILERS---------SPOILERS
I just started to read the first book by David Farland,entitled The
Rune Lords.I am about 200 pages into it and I am enjoying it so far,the whole concept of the rune lords and the dedicates is very interesting.It doesn't have that epic feel to it for me,but none the less it is very good.Perhaps deeper into the plot it will be harder to put down..... So has anybody else read this series and if so what do you think about it?
BTW: (for people not familiar with the books)The runelords can use a metal called blood metal to draw an attribute such as sight,wits,grace,metabolisim,smell,hearing,etc...out of a person(dedicate) and add it to his own.A runelord could have three runes of grace,four of sight,and three of smell,etc,etc and it enhances their own abilities greatly.The person who gives up the said attribute loses it and must be cared for by the runelord.If one gave stamina to a runelord,he would become frail and weak until the runelord died,at which point he would get his stamina back and never be able to give an attribute again.
This idea is so cool I am going to try to make a prestige class out of it.

Also what the hell happened to looking for Daylan hammer the sum of all men? Why does the second book flitter around so much? Why do they not kill Raj Ahten after the wylde disables him?
