Jonathan is a young man, on the cusp of taking his Master's place as magician of Third Chapel. Things are better than he ever expected; he's becoming closer to his father, he is in the midst of a blossoming romance, and his magical abilities are growing every day.
And then an exotic stranger named Bixby finds his way to Third Chapel. The faerie is curious about the people that inhabit Caithiir, the great city that stands so close to the woods, and Mother is not around to stop him from finding out what he can.
Mother, however, has been awakened in Bixby's absence only to find that one of her own has openly defied her. Jonathan and his Master are determined to protect Bixby, but the cost may be more than they can afford to lose.
The River Runes The Fight for Caithiir Book 1 edition by Ken Lindsey Literature Fiction eBooks
This is a whole new spin on fairies. You fall right in with the main character and can visualize exactly where he is and what he is doing without a lot of description involved. I'm not into books that you need to spend two pages reading how a building looks. Almost didn't pick this book, but glad I spent the read. There is a big fat opening at the end, leaving the possibility for a new book. Don't get me wrong. It does wrap up in the end. So you don't feel like you now have to wait around for the next in the series.Product details

MARK'S REVIEW
This book has a lot to offer adventure, magic, characters you both love and hate, and so much more. However, in my opinion, the thing that gives it the most charm is the setting. I love stories of ancient civilizations when towns were built with an outer wall. One particular scene hinted at some of the history of the humans of this particular city, Caithiir--that was one of the better scenes in my opinion.
Where this story lacks is in the quality of the editing. Some scenes were written so wonderfully that a five would have been an easy rating, while other scenes needed another editing pass. For example, there were repeated phrases, such as "couldn't help but." At one point that phrase was used in two consecutive paragraphs. One could argue that using it one time would be one time too many. Using it repeatedly simply weakens your characterization.
However, let me assure you that the problems with the editing are minor. There is more good to this story than there is bad, the good parts out weighing the bad several times over. An attacking army of magical faeries, a love triangle, and even an old magician--these are the things that make the story worth reading.
In Ken Lindsey's book River Runes, we enter the city of Caithiir. It is inhabited by humans but visited daily and protected through the river runes by magicians. Jonathan is the protagonist who is an apprentice to a magician. He is coming into his own. Soon he will assume the Master's place as magician of Third Chapel. However a curious newcomer makes his way into Third Chapel by the name of Bixby. He is a faerie. He is naïve and unsupervised. Trouble brews since the overwhelming force of Mother has been set in motion, and there are consequences. How can Jonathan and the magician, Imlay, protect Bixby?
This book is dramatic, in that, events are always unfolding and since we care about the fully developed main characters, we as readers want to read on. The language that the author Ken Lindsey uses to describe the city and the magician and his apprentice working on the runes is very detailed and precise. You can easily picture a scene of what is happening. It should be made into a movie.
I especially like the subtle comparisons between the humans who live in Caithiir and real people in everyday life. They are so ignorant of the forces that impact their lives--the power of the river that they so desperately try to control and the magicians everywhere around them. At the same time they think they are so in control when they are not.
I really liked this book. I will not give away the plot or the ending. All I can say is, "Read it!"
Review by Kimberly Fujioka
I really loved this book! When I saw the word magician in the synopsis, you know, I kind of squealed a bit and knew that I would love to read this book. I am a huge fan of magic and fantasy.
Jonathan reminded me of Merlin from the BBC show. He was very hard working and was very loyal. I saw him grew into a man. (If you know the show the opening changed from "boy" to "man"...yup I am getting teary eyed.) The plot might sound cliche, you know the whole protecting the city and all, but it was so familiar and different at the same time. Some of you might know that my sister is a bigger fantasy fan, but I also really enjoy the genre. When I read this book, it felt like home, which is ironic because the setting was so not home.
I loved how well described the book was. I felt like I was transported to the world where magics and castle existed. The emotions of the characters transferred to me. I felt their pain and joy. The battle scenes were amazing. I totally wanted to bring out my "let's pretend this is a huge kickass sword sword" and kick some butts!
The romance was amazing as well! There was a lot of emphasis on friendship, which I think YA lacks these days. So very well done Ken for homing in on friendship. This book totally rekindled my heart for fantasy.
Wow, nice story and great plot. Likeable characters, and lots of conflict. Magicians and faeries attempting to co-exist in the world. They did once before, but not now. Why is that?
A tale of an apprentice magician, learning his lore, finding new friends, and learning to love.
Then a faerie shows up in the city, and things change, drastically. Again, why?
Read on and find out.
This is a whole new spin on fairies. You fall right in with the main character and can visualize exactly where he is and what he is doing without a lot of description involved. I'm not into books that you need to spend two pages reading how a building looks. Almost didn't pick this book, but glad I spent the read.
