The Sixth Rune by A.F. Kay

3.0

About 90% of this book had no interpersonal conflict... little social interaction at all. It managed to keep my interest because Ruwen maintained a positive attitude while experimenting with ways to increase his power options. If long training montages bore you, then fair warning.

I enjoyed the head-to-head fights with the god and his diamond-ranked minions. Once again, the strength Ruwen gained by surviving prior trauma was key to his success. I'm also fascinated by the nesting-doll approach the author has taken to martial arts. Styles hidden within styles, hidden within styles. Cool!
