This has been great so far. I just have so much fun when reading Sullivan's books. And he certainly started this book with a bang. War seems to be coming but how we get there will be interesting. I was a little shocked when Nyphron says he figures there might be a million Rhunes. I hadn’t realized it was that much considering Dahl Rhen seems like a small settlement. They still have to make up the deficit of having virtually no magic users (perhaps using technology) but sheer manpower seems to be on their side.- How in the world Arion thought it was a good idea to let Suri release the giant as a magic lesson, I have no idea.
- I know we are leading up to an advancement in the martial technology & strategy of the Rhune. But, particularly for our Dahl Rhen, there's a whole new world of engineering and language that is about to be opening up.
- Its annoying when Mawyndule has some reasonable thoughts/opinions (admitting getting sick while watching the duel), while usually being a spoiled jerk. Also, even jerks are allowed to have a crush on a girl.

My favorites continue to be the Suri, the inventor and the Potter. I sadly am blanking on all their names right now.
The number of Rhunes was certainly a surprise. I wonder if we'll see anywhere close to that amount during the battles. Even 250k would be huge.
I also really like Roan, the inventor.
