This book was one of my favourites seven years ago. I recently re-read it in english instead of dutch, and I was again immediately swept away to the two worlds that Feist describes in Magician. To this day it is still one of the most enjoyable fantasy novels I've read.
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. ( )

A Grand Vision that Races Along. It would have been worth keeping a list of dramatis personae. Fast movement between worlds and cultures. Much death but much glory and honor as well.. ( )

Boek 1 is uit. Heerlijk boek maar zwaar verslavend, zelfs nu ik het boek voor de vijfde keer of zo lees.Ik ben wel gecharmeerd van Puc en Tomas. Sowieso vind ik Feist sterk met karakters. Ook de wereld blijft zelfs na herlezen boeiend. Ik ben meteen doorgegaan in boek 2. ( )

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. ( )

Epigraph
A boy's will is the wind's will.
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.
—Longfellow, My Lost Youth

We were, fair queen,
Two lads that thought there was no more behind
But such a day to-morrow as to-day,
And to be boy eternal.
-SHAKESPEARE,
The Winter's Tale,
Act 1, Scene 2
