A must read for all Feist fans, I devoured this book. It was highly enjoyable. I am eagerly waiting the next installment. ( )

I've been a massive fan of Raymond Feist since Magician and I've bought every book he's ever written and will continue to do so.

This was a great read, and I enjoyed the new characters and learning more about some of our old friends.

There's a lot more magic and not so much fighting in this book. Interestingly, Feist seems to have moved away from the epic battles of the Riftwar and the Serpent war, focussing in on the interactions of individual characters. There is a sense of tension building which keeps you reading to the end, but we are cut off very abruptly at the end. At least Feist hasn't forgotten that mysterious prophecy he made about Pug, which looks like it's starting to fulfil itself...! ( )

Raymond Feist has captivated me for years, I have been a fan since the first riftwar saga book. This book continues in this vein, always a wonderful read, and deeply detailed characters. His writing places you intot he world that he creates and weaves a spell that leaves you deeply enmeshed into his charactors lives. ( )

Feist writes with such an engaging voice. This book was a delight. I hadn't read any of his books recently, but found this one easy to follow and just as much a page turner as previous books. He keeps you on your toes throughout the entire book, with plot twists. Best of all is his well-drawn characters, who seem to almost come off the page.

This is the first time in many years that I've read Feist. I was very pleasantly surprised! Easy to read and engaging. Now I'll need to collect the rest of the books in this series as well as some of the previous series. I think my son would also really enjoy this. It reminded me of the old D&D RPG days... ( )
