May 11, 201214 yr I was recently in the book store, and noticed that there were 2 Runescape books on the shelves ( http://www.amazon.com/RuneScape-Betrayal-T-S-Church/dp/1848567227 - http://www.amazon.com/RuneScape-Return-Canifis-Runescape-2/dp/1848567278 ) . I bought them, and have read one, and 3/4 done with the other one. For those of you that have read them, what do you think of the stories and the way it's written ? ********** One of the old guard of RS.

May 11, 201214 yr Should be in general discussion. Also this is old news. Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.
May 11, 201214 yr Moved to the Varrock Library. Even if the books are about Runescape, discussion of the books, as books, is a literary discussion and belongs here.

I bought them, and have read one, and 3/4 done with the other one. For those of you that have read them, what do you think of the stories and the way it's written ? Personally, I think they're excellent books and really well written. The second one was much more political/character development than the first one but enjoyed it all the same. :thumbsup:
May 13, 201214 yr I've won the first one in a tip.it competition, so I was basically forced to read it :P I've found it to be okay literature, something you can read without disliking it but nothing that I will remember as particularly enjoyable to read. I've found it quite predictable at times and the characters were rather dull.
May 17, 201214 yr I haven't read them but I saw something relating to them on the website and was curious considering I've been trying to take a stab at writing my own RS-based fanfic. Are they Twilight-level writing or is there actually some decency and thought to them?
May 17, 201214 yr I actually found myself enjoying the first book quite a bit. Not perfect, but there was a nice plot and a decent amount of connections could be made back into the game that was reasonable and not exaggerated. :) The second book, however, I found rather annoying A lot of the character development that was done in the first book seemed undone in the second one. >.O There is a third book coming out next month, and I intend on ordering it in hopes it will be better than the second one. And no, they're not "Twilight writing." Thankfully. :mellow: Adventurer's Log || YouTube || Facebook || Tip.it Times Work || Wanna Join the Editorial Panel?Maxed Out 01 October 2012 PDT
