in 'The Runesarc', Phil Say gives us fantasy in its truest form: an intriguing collection of characters on a quest, in a clash of good and evil - all pulled together in a smoothly flowing narrative. Beautifully written, the reader is transported into a very real, beguiling and gloriously strange world.
In Ronas we have a reluctant and resourceful knight in waiting who must prove himself and face the adversaries who plagued his dreams. Odora is a feisty (dare I say swashbuckling?) heroine, desperately trying to outsmart her father's enemies....
Aimed at the younger teenage audience - my grandson loved it - this book will appeal to all fantasy fans. Stock up the fridge and settle down for a good binge read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping adventure

Phil Say has created characters, plot, adventure and fantasy reminiscent of the intrigue of Tolkien in this wonderful first volume. Young and old adults will love this fusion of history, sorcery, blood-and-guts adventure and loveable characters. Multiple but linked strands of the story weave in and out through the book to keep the reader entranced as the forces of good and evil vie for supremacy. Wonderfully evocative and descriptive narrative bring alive the landscapes, people and nature of the mystical realms in this highly absorbing story. Let's have some more please!
