I had high hopes for "Protected Excursion Rune" as I am a fan of fantasy novels, but I was sorely disappointed. The storyline felt predictable and lacked depth.

Overall, I found the book to be a letdown and wouldn't recommend it to other fantasy enthusiasts.
2. John - 1 star
"Protected Excursion Rune" was one of the worst books I have ever read. The plot was confusing and disjointed, making it difficult to follow along. The author introduced numerous subplots that went nowhere, leaving me frustrated and unsatisfied. The dialogue was stilted and unnatural, making it difficult to connect with the characters. The book was overall a struggle to get through, and I would not revisit this author's work in the future.
