Product Description
Product Description
The world of the Runelords has been combined by magic with another parallel world to form a new one, the beginning of a process that may unify all worlds into the one true world.
This story picks up after the events of The Wyrmling Horde and follows two of Farland’s well-known heroes, Borenson and Myrrima, on a quest to save their devastated land and the people of the new world from certain destruction. But the land is not the only thing that has been altered forever: in the change, Borenson has merged with a mighty and monstrous creature from the other world, Aaath Ulber.
He begins to be a different person, a berserker warrior, as well as having a huge new body because of the transformation of worlds. Thousands have died, lands have sunk below the sea and, elsewhere, risen from it. The supernatural rulers of the world are part of a universal evil, yet play a Byzantine game of dark power politics among themselves. And Aaath Ulber is now the most significant pawn in that game.

Written for fourth grader, Dec 12 2009
By Realistic Opinion "RO" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chaosbound: The Eighth Book of the Runelords (Hardcover)
I love David Farlands story, and have generally liked his writing style over the last seven books in this series. But this is the most sophomoric, poorly written science fiction fantasy novel I have ever read. It is written as if for a novice reader, where Farland will say something and then follow up with an explanatory sentence. Example, he once says that the provisions on the ship are getting low. Then next sentence says the food and water were running out. As if he thought we didnt know what provisions getting low meant. There are hundreds of examples of this kind of writing throughout. Plus, the story line was weak, and hardly advanced the cause of the overall story much at all. I cant believe the editors let this out for printing, other than that they just wanted our money. Well next time i wont be a fool and buy the hardbound edition, if i buy the next one at all. Highly disappointing. Feel cheated.

Absolutely Horrible, April 18 2010
By Matthew - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chaosbound: The Eighth Book of the Runelords (Hardcover)
This series makes you feel like you are reading Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series all over again. A really awesome first couple of books, and then a decent into mindless dribble. Extremely dissapointing. I hate to leave a series unfinished, so I sincerely hope it's finished in 1 last book (please, oh please, don't drag this out any longer).
On a side note (Page Count):
Sum of All Men - 624
Brotherhood of the Wolf - 688
Wizardborn - 496
The Lair of Bones - 480
Sons of the Oak - 432
Worldbinder - 400
The Wyrmling Horde - 400
Chaosbound - 352

Chaosbound: The Eighth Book of the Runelords, Nov 24 2009
By Mr Andrew G Coe - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chaosbound: The Eighth Book of the Runelords (Hardcover)
Come on David Farland, this is a joke, the last 2 books could have been put into one, it appears you are trying to cash in on the series. Good book, though far to short and does not justify the hard back cost for such little content. Please make the next one a proper novel and finish the series.
Very dissapointed.
Listmania!
