The Lost Runes

I was really delighted to find that Jane Welch could improve upon `The Runes of War' but she certainly does in this second instalment as Caspar, Hal and Brid begin their journey to find the Runes. All of the characters become even more likeable- you can really feel them growing as the book progresses - especially Caspar as he battles with Hal over Brid's adoration. I honestly sat down and read this book in one evening- it's a really good page turner for people who like a good fantasy read.

I was hooked on the book from page one. I loved the characters somuch that I had to reread the book. I'm in suspense waitting for hernext novel which is available in europe now.

This is the second of five books by a first- rate author. Set in the realm of Belbidia, the principal characters seek the forgotten magic that is the only way to save the land from destruction. The odds are overwhelming and the author keeps you on the edge of your chair to the very end. Ms. Welch needs to become better known to US readers; across the water, folks know what a treasure they have! Buy and enjoy!

This book is brilliant and I strongly recommend it to anyone that is reading this now. Buy it! The characters are wonderful, as is normal, and once you're onto book 2, believe me you won't be able to put it down. Try it.

This book is really really good, and is worth every penny. It has all the classic elements of fantasy novels that we love. Strange religion, magic spells, mythical creaures, and powerful ancient artifacts.The is the second book of the runespell trilogy. The first one being "Runes of War", and the third one "Runes of Socerery". Although this is the second novel I recommend that you read it first. It will draw into the world of Belbidia faster than the first one. After that read the first one to fill you in on the details that you didn't understand, for lack of knowing the character's past history. Then proceed to read the dramatic and explosive conclusion in "Runes of Socerery" This series,is perfect for anyone fond of Raymond E. Feist's "Riftwar" series.
