I really liked this book, as I do most of Feist's work, although he does have a talent for writing books which are long. This book continues the story line from the Magician (Apprentice and Master), Silverthorn and A Darkness at Sethanon. I like that, and have felt for a while that Prince of the Blood was a bit of a tangent from the main thrust of the series -- although characters which are used in later stories are introduced through that book.

it's a good read, but I was getting a little bored with this world by this time. The first 7 books (Magicians, Empire & all) were excellent and this wasn't bad. More of the same thing. ( )

This was a good fantasy in the Riftwar series. I liked how the characters Nicholas, Harry, Brisa and Anthony became more confident and sure of themselves. I also liked how they and their friends faced the many challenges in their path. ( )

Pirate power time, matey.

Nicholas, the youngest son of Arutha has been forced to lead a sheltered life and not run around with wizards, thieves, murderers, dark elves and almost get killed a lot. Really missed out this kid.

However, when he goes on a trip to Crydee, all this changes, as it is Nakor and a sea life for him, from now on.

Again what you would expect from a Feist book, in general, with the focus on a minor character, even if the conflict is perhaps a little forced given some of the more major powers could have solved it much more easily.

This is the second book in the Krondor's Sons series. This book was one of the better stories in terms of fun. It wasn't real deep, nor particularly complicated, nor full of wild theories. Just a fun packed action/adventure across the world of Midkemia.

This story follow Prince Arutha's youngest son Nicholas. He's 17 and Arutha has come to the conclusion that he's been pampering Nicky to much and needs to be seasoned a little. So Nicholas and his Squire/friend Harry are sent to Crydee to try and toughen them up just a little bit. After a couple of weeks in residence an incredibly vicious raid was launched against Crydee and many of the citizens were kidnapped. Nicholas and company pursue with the intend to of rescuing the captives and then our tale truly begins. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385236255, Hardcover)

Long recovered from the ravages of the Riftwar, the land and people of the kingdom of the Isles thrive.  Nicholas, the youngest son of Prince Arutha, is intelligent and gifted but vastly inexperienced.  In hopes of hardening him, his father sends him and his irreverent squire, Harry, to live at Rustic Castle Crydee to learn of life beyond the halls of privilege.  But within weeks of Nicholas and Harry's arrival, Crydee is viciously attacked by unknown assailants, resulting in murder, massive destruction, and the abduction of two young noblewomen.  The raiders have come from a pirate haven and are no ordinary foe . . . but an enemy connected to dark magical forces that threaten the lands Nicholas will someday rule--if he survives.
