Certain works of fantasy are immediately recognizable as monuments, towering above the rest of the category. They have been written by the likes of Stephen R. Donaldson, Robert Jordan, and Terry Goodkind. Now add to that list David Farland, whose epic fantasy series began with The Runelords, continued in Brotherhood of the Wolf and the New York Times bestseller Wizardborn, and reaches its peak now in The Lair of Bones.
Prince Gaborn, the Earth King, has defeated the forces arrayed against him each time before: the magical and human forces marshaled by Raj Ahten, who seeks immortality at any cost and has given up his humanity in trade; and the inhuman, innumerable, insectile hordes of the giant Reavers from under the Earth, whose motives are unknowable, but inimical to human life. Now there must be final confrontations, both on the field of battle, with the supernatural creature that Raj Ahten has become, and underground, in the cavernous homeland of the Reavers, where the sorcerous One True Master who rules them all lies in wait--in the Lair of Bones. The survival of the human race on Earth is at stake.

From Publishers Weekly
According to Farland's Web site, the Runelords series, of which this is the fourth book after 2001's Wizardborn, was inspired by a hallucination. It also reads like one at times, full of rich and brilliant descriptions, but not always making much sense. Magical endowments-attributes such as sight, brawn or endurance transferred between people, leaving one crippled and the other superhuman-permit Averan, a nine-year-old wizard-in-training, to keep pace with the Earth King, Prince Gaborn and his cohorts as they search underground for the Queen of the Reavers. As those above ground prepare for war, Gaborn learns that his elemental powers are nothing compared to those of the Glories, forces of light who exhort their followers to love all men equally and beware the corrupting powers of the One True Master of Evil. The author rushes the action in the final chapters, the last one so condensed it reads almost like the summary of another complete book. Hopefully, the strength of the setting will help Farland to find a better pace for future volumes; this one, despite its promise, is strictly for the fans.

From Booklist
The apparent conclusion of the Runelords brings the saga's conflicts to a resounding climax in a three-cornered confrontation. For Raj Athen has given up his humanity for immortality and has marshaled hordes of magicians and sorcerers; Prince Gaborn has been victorious as the Earth King and is holding his ground; and the insectoid Reavers have found their ruler, lurking deep underground in the Lair of Bones and wielding its subjects against everyone else. The suspense is real, the action is nonstop, and the characterizations continue to convince. The amount of explicit violence and gore delivered by natural and supernatural means remains as high as ever in the Runelords--high enough, perhaps, to have cost Farland some of the saga's initial readers. Readers not put off thus far, however, surely will hang on to the end of a series that has put Farland on high-fantasy readers' maps. Roland Green

"The apparent conclusion of the Runelords brings the saga's conflicts to a resounding climax in a three-cornered confrontation. . . . The suspense is real, the action is nonstop, and the characterizations continue to convince. . . . [this is] a series that has put Farland on high-fantasy readers' maps."-Booklist on The Lair of Bones
"Farland's imaginative use of magic and detailed world-building contribute to the impact . . . Fans of Robert Jordan and Terry Goodkind will enjoy Farland's Runelords."-Romantic Times
"Sometimes truly terrifying, sometimes impossibly sweet, The Lair of Bones is a tale sure to entrance any reader. This is a superb story with deeply empathetic characters."-Sara Douglass
"David Farland's Runelords books are among the best fantasies on the market today. Great characters, a fascinating concept, and some really nasty monsters make each novel a pleasure to read." -- Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of A Forest Of Stars and Dune: The Machine Crusade.
"When I reached the end of first volume, The Runelords, and saw grace arise from a devastating battlefield where too many great hearts lay dead, Farland had earned the tears that came to my eyes. It was not sentiment, but epiphany."
-Orson Scott Card

"In The Runelords David Farland has created a vivid, detailed, different world that becomes perfectly believable. The characters are real, the action fast, and the sum a brilliant and engrossing novel."
-David Drake
Praise for David Farland
"The author's imaginative approach to magic, coupled with a richly detailed fantasy world and a cast of memorable heroes and villains, adds depth and variety to this epic tale of war and valor."
--Library Journal on Wizardborn

"An exciting fantasy adventure that is quite different from the previous two novels as action takes a backseat to understanding the principal characters. . . . David Farland has written an entertaining tale that his fans will enjoy ."
--Midwest Book Review on Wizardborn
"In Brotherhood of the Wolf, David Farland continues the intriguing premise he established in The Runelords, but with more intensity in every way. . . .Clearly, this is becoming a masterwork of history-spanning fantasy."
--Kevin J. Anderson, co-author of Dune: House Atreides
"The Runelords is a first-rate tale, an epic fantasy that more than delivers on its promise. Read it soon and treat yourself to an adventure you won't forget."
--Terry Brooks
"David Farland is a consummate stylist, and his characters are so alive they walk right off the page. The Runelords is a wonderful fantasy novel."-Robert J. Sawyer

Oh yes, it ends abruptly. (possible spoilers)
By Absimilard
It ends so quickly with so many things unanswered or forgotten that it HAS to be a set up for another book or series. It isn't that I necessarily wanted a "happy" ending. I just wanted some resoultion, good or bad. Here are a few things that I can remember (possible spoilers):
Remember the book that was such a big deal in chapter one of book one? Everyone had to get a hold of it because it had secrets about the Days? Well, forget it because it's barely hinted at.
Daylan Hammer, Borenson's quest, etc.? Dropped. There's mention, and it's key for some of the characters, but after that, nothing.
Waggit who?
Erin has a large part in this book. Ultimately, though, nothing comes of her story and that plot is dropped.
Another key character is introduced in Inkarra, but he's there only to move the story forward, apparently. Repurcussions to his actions were not told.
Borenson discoveres a new rune, and must get to a facilitator to show it to them, but that is forgotten.
There's more, but what's the point. I was going to give this four stars, but with the abrupt ending, I'm giving it 3. It's still a solid read all the way through, I was just hoping for more resolution.

Since when "no happy end" is an automatic negative?
By Piotr Wilkin
I've just skimmed through the first few reviews of the book, and I must say I'm quite astonished at what I've read. Some reviewers are claiming that the book is bad simply because "there is no clear ending", "I don't like what he did to Gaborn and Iome" etc. etc. This sounds to me awfully like a disappointed kid waiting to hear "... and they lived happily ever after" again.
If someone doesn't like unclear endings where the characters don't "live happily ever after", then probably Lord of the Rings would leave him disappointed too ("What do you mean Frodo and Sam don't live their lives in happiness in Bag End?").
What I really like in what Farland did to the plot (and what many will probably dislike) is adding a touch of maturity and reality to an otherwise quite archetypal fantasy story. What we usually expect from a heroic fantasy is to leave us with easy answers in the end - Farland builds the impression that there will be easy answers throughout the first 3 books, shattering that impression in the last one. Saying that the last book is a bit philosophical in nature would be an overstatement - after all, I would still classify the series as "entertainment fantasy" and not "intelectual fantasy", but it does add an unexpected level of depth.
If you don't mind what I've described in the previous paragraphs, you'll probably come to enjoy this last book of the series as much as I did. The plot is quite simple to follow, the action is fluent, the characters are well fleshed-out. Just don't read with expectations that Gaborn will become a demigod and single-handedly wipe out all threats from the world - you will be very, very disappointed.

Nice Break from Endless Epics
By R. C. Smith
Yes, the other reviews were right in that it has a very abrupt ending, and the final chapter has a pace that leaves the reader wanting an endowment of metabolism, but there IS an end. How many fantasy series coming out of the '90s can say that? The pace leaves the characters a little less developed than I would have preferred, but not so much so that you can't cheer for them. I was pleased with this book for its intense action and closure (I'm not saying more isn't forthcoming, but this story line is done).
