This is not as good as most of Feist's other novels, which is about what you'd expect from a book inspired by a video game. After the original RIftwar trilogy was completed, a PC game was written using some of the Kingdom locations and some new and old characters. This book came after the game, and it doesn't have a lot more depth. (  ) Karlstar | Nov 24, 2009 |  A rewriting of the best-selling game... (  ) xavierroy | Sep 8, 2009 | Dark elves and bad men. Related to a computer game this book said when I read it, can't say how much, though. Those not so nice moredhel are returning, some years later, and the criminal guild has an exceedingly nasty new ruler. It is up to the usual band of stalwarts, some new characters, and even a dark elf that helps the Kingdom side out to try and do something about it. Another ok Midkemia adventure, pretty much what you would expect. http://notfreesf.blogspot.com/2007/10... (  ) maketest | Aug 26, 2009 | An adaptation of the computer game of the same name.

| Book description |
|
Feist's fans are legion. Longtime readers will be delighted at the return of popular characters Pug the Wizard, Squire Locklear, and others, as they face the menace of a marauding elf war-chieftain and a mysterious cabal of wizards. But first-time Feist readers may find Krondor the Betrayal baffling and tiresome--without the momentum of the larger series, much of the story's effect is diminished. The video game influence in this book is unmistakable--as evidenced by an encumbrance of sword fights, multilevel conspiracy, and two-dimensional characters. Anyone who enjoys reading about Midkemia will be thrilled to play the demonstration version of the CD-ROM game (included with the book). --Brendan J. LaSalle
