Another epic tale from Feist, but this one falls far short of the mark. The characters are not as interesting as in previous novels, and the story does not feel nearly as epic as the Riftwar Saga. The antagonist is too simple and stylized. Feists style seems to have suffered. Having said that, if you loved Riftwar, you will probably enjoy this series as well. The series consists of:

• Shadow of a Dark Queen
• Rise of a Merchant Prince
• Rage of a Demon King
• Shards of a Broken Crown

 

 

 

 

 

These two books bridge the gap between the Riftwar Saga and the Serpentwar Saga. They are written with quite a bit of humor and are lighthearted and enjoyable fantasy, introducing two important characters to Feist’s world.

Consisting of:

• Magician: Apprentice
• Magician: Master
• Silverthorn
• A Darkness at Sethanon

This straightforward fantasy saga is very well plotted and written by Dungeons and Dragons aficionado Feist. I am not much into fantasy, but if you want a truly epic tale with kingdoms, magic and so forth, you won’t go wrong with this.
