Interpretation Concering Books The Buried Symbol (The Runes of Issalia #1)
Buried away for centuries, a forgotten magic lurks...waiting to returnThey tell Unchosen, "Accept your fate and you'll be rewarded in the next life." The threat of execution is their recourse.
Rejecting his role as an outcast, Brock risks his life and obtains a false rune, marking him a member of the Empire's ruling class. Under a veil of deception and backed by natural talent, the teen then schemes his way into a school where the Empire’s future leaders are trained.
Within the Academy, a legendary school of magic, science, politics, and combat, he uncovers secrets kept hidden for centuries - secrets that expose cracks in the foundation of Empire society. Among his discoveries is a long forgotten magic, powerful and dangerous - a magic he is determined to wield. Caught between his continued charade and a desire to tame his frightening new abilities, one misstep on either front could destroy him.

The main character, Brock, is likable and easy to relate to. The rest of the cast of characters are interesting and entertaining. The world that the author has created is detailed and complex, but introduced in a way that is easy to follow. Having a theocratic society that exerts control over its citizens by assigning runes that define their roles is quite interesting and unique. The school of magic that the main character attends in the second half of the book. This story really sucked me in,
I I loved it can't wait for the next one. Hope it's just as good as the first one thank you.
Fantastic Fantasy This is fantasy at it's best. I got caught up in the excitement of the story of Brock, an Unchosen, the lowest of the low in his society and his homeless friend Tipper. The Chosen have a rune on their brow which shows they belong. Brock pays to have a counterfeit rune in order to start helping others. Brock and Tipper set of to find and enrol at the Academy to begin Brock's training. It is a fascinating story of his exploits and those of his friends which will leave you wanting
Fantastic book!Loved the system of magic! The book gives you characters you can like while keeping you entertained with a good story. Excellent coming of age story.
I previously reviewed Jeffrey Kohaneks novel Rogue Legacy, which I absolutely loved. Rogue Legacy was the prequel for The Runes of Issalia Series starting with The Buried Symbol. Rogue Legacy had a Black Cauldron and Howls Moving Castle vibe, so I was expecting something similar, however, Kohanek has created a different feeling to this series, which can be difficult to achieve. Especially, when a story falls in the same world as an authors other works. I really admire authors that are able to
Great bookI would definitely recommend reading this book. I don't write many reviews but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's the beginning to what seems is going be a great series.
