Le prime 100 pagine sono piane semplici prevedibili - ma piacevoli. Poi c'è uno sprint inatteso, e ti domandi dove vuole andare a parare. Se superi una 50ina di pagine noiosette, arrivi nella seconda parte, e qui Feist dà il meglio di sé. A momenti ricorda qualcosa di Martin; ci sono pagine che richiamano la migliore Le Guin; e non manca lo sguardo affettuoso di un certo Tolkien. Fa piacere leggere un libro con un suo carattere così particolare. no reviews | add a review

My fascination for samurai-like cultures was satisfied by the war-loving Tsuranni, and the charming, somewhat medieval world of Midkemia reminded me of the many online post-by-post RPGs I used to partake in when I was 14.
This book has a very good balance between politics and court culture, magic and legends. The overal storyline is of the well-known young-boy-grows-up-to-become-a-hero-that-saves-the-world sort, but Feist brings it with a very charming cast of characters and the occasional unexpected sidetrack. Especially Milambers transformation is of a very interesting and philosohical nature. Well worth a read if you haven't tried it yet. Also the best entrance into the books of Feist. ( )
